Dick Burton enjoys welsh wars
(hint : that is about welsh rugby)
Dick Burton enjoys welsh wars – is it “belch wars”, or is there something else I am missing?
Is so, what is “Wurton” ? (unless I am missing something, which I often do!)
Any chance something can be done with wars > whores ?

When do they get approved?
We are working on this…
We were waiting for the site to have all the features (it is still under construction and only officially released next month).
So from say tomorrow I will slowly approve the approved ones and put them in the system, under the name of the respective authors.
Then I will post on our Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr accounts and you can start sharing and liking etc if you want to!
Thanks fro your patience!
I have now approved all the comments.
Some of them were approved for a few days after they were posted, and so I approved the replies to.
Then to avoid confusion we unapproved everything when we started setting up the Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts.
Now they are all approved again so feel free to comment, improve, etc.
We will start approving the contrepèteries later today or tomorrow, so thanks for your patience.
And I forgot to mention, but for security reasons, comments are moderated for people who never commented before.
For the rest they can comment away once they have been approved once.
So please all, play nice so we do not need to restrict moderation too much. The T&C will be updated before next week-end.
Looks like sexual puns rule, so here I go too:
Look closer: the lice is viewed.
None in Irish? I will give it my best try:
If you got what comes out of my gob, ba mhór an cúis náine é.
>>
If you got what comes out of my knob, ba mhór an cúis gáire é.
Pour comprendre il faut une petit leçon de gaélique Irlandais:
-Náire = honte
-Gáire = rire, marrant
– ba mhór an xyz é= ce serait très / un(e) grand(e) xyz
Aussi, le mot “nob” s’écrit aussi “knob”, et les deux se prononce pareil.
Ils signifient “dick, head, prick, penis”.
“Gob” est un mot d’origine Irlandaise, et signifie “gueule.&
SPecial Northern Irish one
This rug explains the Battle in the Boyne: a small light started that fire.
This bug explains the rattle in the loin: a small bite started that fire.
Today of all days!
The vice is at the bottom of the liquor.
Gives: the lice is at the bottom of the vicar.
Added.
Thanks.
Pour la Marquise, un contrepet gay
This banker supports the rent ploy. Why always a banker?
Another gay one I suppose
I find belief in the Rum.
I think I am getting better at this
Victim of the lazzi, Miss E. felt ashamed of being nude.
(Victim of the Nazi, Miss E. felt ashamed of being lewd.)
It was my first English contrepèterie that I wrote last year and forgot about:

Watching te box set and that made me think of this

Can you prank a yeast? (yank/priest)
Bagots cannot fend for themselves without Bilbo.
Sorry but this does not work.
In English, Bilbo’s family name is “Baggins”.
But it could be salvaged. Why not try something about Maggots?
Another one for you, Marquise!
Pray! Be good.
My pet likes Venus.
My vet likes penis.
Approved.
Challenge for you: create a contrepet based on Mars, and make it a double-contrepet!
The witch was banking on-line.
The bitch was wanking on-line.
Published.
But note that technically bank and wank are not the same pronunciation.
wɑŋk
bæŋk
But the standard IPA pronunciation is not often used, so the colloquial pronunciation you are using makes it work well enough, plus it is a funny one!
McCain aims at the south with all his might.
Not very good, I know…
Sorry but this one does not qualify.
I will put it in the salvage section so it can be salvaged by yourself or someone else.
If it is salvaged you will get shared credit… but in the meantime the post will not mention you 🙂
A warm God made the sun-rays come unto us.
When I think I used to be a god-fearing man!
