A thread to help newbies like me understand the origin of words I’ve only ever seen on TFK. Where does the term roasters come from?
It is a term I brought to the forum. It is used in pockets of South East clare to describe lads of a backward agricultural nature.
“Did you see them roasters from Newport in town last night”
Clare people love roast potatoes

Hilariously ironic.
(fuck off if this is the incorrect use of irony)

I see. Next up, how did the word clamped or the phrase, well clamped, evolve on here.
If only there was some type of encyclopedia on the history of TFK and the origins of the various terms and phrases.
If only. A wikipedia of some description.
Apologies, my man. Please point me in the direction of said encyclopedia.
Rocko made a fuck of it on one of his upgrades :mad:
indeed gents, without history we only have ignorance, as the foregoing show
:mad: Can somebody answer the clamped question so?
There was once feature called TFKWiki, a wikipedia type section of the forum where some of the users put great effort into chronicling the various incidents and happenings on TFK over the years. It was the heartbeat of the forum, then during one of his “upgrades” Rocko made a fuck of the whole thing and it was lost forever.
It was an act akin to running into Trinity with a gallon of petrol and setting fire to the Book of Kells.

Rocko is this true? Can you bring this TFKWiki back to life?
I’m not arsed answering that one, but I will admit that I am confused as to whether I should tag the offending post as being “well clamped” or the reply from another member which puts the original offender in his/her place with a clamping. Is one saying “You’re well clamped”. Or is one congratulating and saying “jolly well clamped, old boy!”.
fuck sake Thraw, we went through this in great detail already. you praise the clamper, and award his post a clamping rating.
I was out that day with the flu, sir.
Why not, Thraw? There’s seems to be a general reluctance to answer this question-have I stumbled onto TFK’s dark secret? Am I the Ryan Report?
You’d be better off forgetting about this thread.
You only have 5000 or so posts.
You could easily be Ewan McKenna or Seashell Myth or one of them. As Rick says in Pawn Stars: “it’s not that I don’t trust you, I just don’t trust ANYBODY”.
Does this have something to do with TASE having to emigrate to Australia? Actually forget I asked that question. Rocko can you delete this thread please?
