You don't know what a 'Wind up merchant' means? What the hell? Have you been hiding under a rock or something? For goodness sake get a grip and take note of stuff around you. Sheesh. Another typical blinkered woman only interested in her own narrow view of the world. Not nice.

See what I mean by the above. You are bound to reply heatedly to such a response.
'Wind Up Merchant' means, in effect, a person that annoys you just for the hell of it.

But that seems pretty "Trollie" to me MK....It's pretty insulting.. If a WUM is a deluted troll... then I think THIS would be more like a WUM remark.
"Gosh...I thought EVERYBODY knew what a WUM was.. Most Informed people do.. I didn't think I had to explain. Sorry"
See... that way.. you are cutting down someones intelligence without REALLY being that nasty...YET the person it's directed at feels insulted but cannot put their finger on the exact insult... If they do.. the WUM will then counter..
" Sorry.. I didn't mean to be insulting to anyone. I just thought it was a well known acronym" The WUM is off the hook.... lol!! easy peasy. If someone is a skilled WUM.. they can skirt right up to the line of being insulting without really crossing it or breaking any forum rules. A WUM can really piss people off and claim innocence., and even surprise when the person takes the bait.
