I got blocked..could it have been a language issue?

Someone I enjoyed talking to came on today, and said hello, and I asked about their day. I called them a "stirrer"..which here means someone who likes to stir up a bit of trouble, usually just im a fun way..next minute I was blocked..could that have been why? im not giving details about who the person is, they have the right to block anyone they want, I was simpy curious if maybe in America it has a different meaning

It’s probably your user name.

@BlueRain I thought I explained that!, and they have spoken to me several times. I had this name since Ep, never thought about it how its being read.

@Bushmanoz That's exactly what I was talking about. Your username implied nothing to me except that you're an [b]Australian[/b] [b]man from the bush[/b].

@Zoranna oh..so thats why? no, it means something else..just kidding obviously. I just hadn't thought anyone would see it as something blatantly pervy..who does that? and surely a simple look into posts would reveal it's nothing untoward, much to some catfish disappointment. That's exactly what it means tho Zoranna, thanks

@Bushmanoz I know you're kidding. lol They live such insular lives or are "pervy" thinkers 🤔. Maybe if they had a look at other countries apart from their own their knowledge would expand.

You're welcome. I thought I'd put it in writing to answer that silly assumption above. 🍺 Enjoy one or two later. 😉

Thank you, it's much appreciated. And that's the plan, although it freezing and wet today

edit..typing
Zoranna · F
@Bushmanoz It's freezing here too but sunny fortunately. Brrrr Have a ☕️ or a 🥃, that'll warm you up. 🤭

@Zoranna Did the coffee, actually posted about it..lol, that's how exciting my life has become. Don't plant the beer seed in my noggin
Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
oh, that may have been a Scotch..cant do that, I will end up sitting here typing jibberish
Zoranna · F
@Bushmanoz Sorry! 🤭 First one was a coffee, 2nd was a scotch. No, wait until later for your beer, can't have you typing jibberish; they have enough trouble understanding you as it is. I'm joking mate, JOKING! 😆
Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
lol you may be joking but It's true, I don't mind, I amuse myself, that's good enough for me, well, better stop pulling the legs off dead spiders and get my arse into gear, my list is chockers with things I need to do before I can have a sanga and blow the froth off a few and watch the idiot box a while, feel free to have a yarn anytime
Zoranna · F
@Bushmanoz That's the main thing. You'd better get your arse into gear then! lol Thanks you too. Have a good one! 😊
Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
@Zoranna lol, I figured I may as well go whole hog and confuse a few people, where in Oz are you if I can ask, not wanting to say is fine
Zoranna · F
@Bushmanoz Yeah I got that! 😂 I'm in the West, near Fremantle. At at guess I'd say you're from Melbourne. 🤔 The rain was the clue. 🤭
Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
yeah yeah..give it 5 mins, it will be hot..then rain again
Zoranna · F
@Bushmanoz Four seasons in one day! Good old Melbourne. lol
Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
lol..ok, beginning to understand the whole blocking thing now
Zoranna · F
@Bushmanoz 😂 What can I say ...
Thanks for the laugh, actually chuckling here.
Bushmanoz · 56-60, M
Ok, we have kinda derailed the OP's post, you should apologise
Zoranna · F
@Bushmanoz Oh I do, hand on heart! Sorreee 😉
I'll go now, and let you get your arse into gear. See ya, keep warm and dry. 😄
