Translate: you're a dick who is an abuser.

Abuser is a noun, so it shouldn't have a hyphen at all. A hyphen indicates that the first adjective modifies the second term (which must be an adjective or adverb.) One who is both a dick and an abuser would have to be a "dick/abuser."

the hyphens were added to introduce an element of ambiguity in interpretation

-a punctuitive wildcard, if you will.....

Now that blood pressures are coming back down, may I suggest that the cellar would benefit from a new forum: ABUSE. I was going to suggest a thread but I really think it needs its own forum, because it happens fairly often and involves various people.
It seems that sometimes some people feel like a bit of a stoush. Well if it is two or more consenting adults, I have no problem with that. But it does kind of spoil threads about, for example, bad 80s hairdos. Take it to the combat zone, stoushers. Once an exchange of this sort gets started, one party can simply challenge the other to "step outside and meet me in the abuse forum" where they can then go at it while everyone else talks about their fashion follies. Or a third party can suggest that the antagonists take it elsewhere.
I'd like this. What do you other folks think?
We'd need a smiley slapping another with a glove, though.

No offense, but that is the worst idea I have ever heard of.

No offense taken, but if that's the worst idea you have ever heard of, you should get out more often. Or else follow a TW Vs UG exchange, one of those two is bound to leave you gaping. Possibly both.

Seriously, I find it repelling, seeing amusing threads swamped by personal feuds. The "80s hair" and "special talent/curse" threads have been pretty much killed by this and the "Black people "less intelligent" " thread is in dire peril.

I was attracted to the cellar for the witty humour, the bizarre stories and pictures, and quite a bit of good intelligent debate and controversy. Name calling and flame wars can be found pretty much anywhere. So I was hoping we could quarantine them.

BTW, have you been welcomed, Spectacle?
Just in case: Welcome to the cellar, Spectacle.
