Shoogle is a perfectly good Scots word.

As in "Your coat is on a shoogly peg, sonny!" - a phrase one might use in relation to people about to fall in disfavour.

Possibly for querying perfectly good words

All the uber army players.   
Unsportsmanlike conduct
Painting horses unless they are armoured!
Wargames magazings that are really manufacturer catalogues.
Dice cups/towers
People who dont throw dice properly
Rivet or button  counters
People who paint an entire army in a week to a standard way above mine - There seem to be lots of them on this forum
The apostrophe.

Basing - its easy and feels really satisfying as you finish the figure/unit.  I think I am alone in this?
Army organising and working out what to buy - perhaps thats why I have a lead mountain.

Oh Nosher, absolutely agree about the poor personal hygiene at show . One year at Reading I could smell on chap from two tables away!!!

It's even worse when your helping on a stand and the said person wants to chat to you for ages. Your torn between the potential sale and wanting to be able to breath.

Nosher - should you not add Redheads to your list or is "Hate" and inadequate word?

People who put on lots of posts instead of one in order to get promoted - can't think of anyone specific at the moment

By the way, may none of you, not even ***** and *****, ever come home from Italy to find that the fridge has been accidentally unplugged during the holiday, and not reconnected by the neighbours allegedly supervising the premises.

Thats  real bummer FK.

I might add (and all in one post)

- people who have the game stopped regularly, to leaf through the rulebook to find that one rule that should allow them to do something advantageous
- people who maximize historical armies contrary to any historical standards, because they want to win at any cost
- tournaments
- cheaters
- people who do not take the trouble to read the rules, lose and complain that you have taken advantage of their lack of knowledge
- people who do not take the trouble to read the scenario, lose because they had no idea what the victory conditions were and complain that the scenario was unbalanced
- people who dismiss plastic figures because they don't "feel" right (makes me break out in a rash, I tell ya)

Hasn't this all been done before? Maybe we should make it an annual event...
