"Its probably d for dickhead."
I agree with mart, here. It's got to be either dickhead or chav.

I suppose what threw me was,sending an intelligent email and hoping for an intelligent reply...no way these days!.I get a bloke in a baseball cap,and even then I could'nt understand what the meaning was until I asked on this forum.
Talking about speech,I've seen a 'railway' forum where most of the participants are youngsters who talk in text or cannot spell when they try to write 'normally'.OK,yes I know what you are going to say,that's why they write in text.
If you mention anything too them,"you are shit writers" they break down & report you to dad.Why don't they use the spell checker or buy a spell corrector.
The modern generation-anything goes!

You should have mailed back and asked for a response in the Queen's English. The internet has bred a nation of utter fuckwits.
