What about when Moyles did Carpark Catchphrase? On your basis he must have 'verbally abused' a listener almost every day.

[iain_smith]

yeah buit Moyles is allowed isnt he..thats just what he does...

[Hammer]

What an answer. So what exactly is your objection with Chappers justifiably calling a caller a pillock?

[Jono]

It's using Iain's name in vain

[sinister]

As chapman is a pillock he's the most qualified there to judge if a listener is a pillock or not. Pillock can have different connotations around the regions too.

Which part of Moyles contract is it which states its his job to "verbally abuse" listeners? Yeah didnt think so. You can't say its ok for Moyles and not ok for Chappers.

Pillock is hardly the most offensive of words though really. I can think of a lot worse!

[The Stig]

It's a comedy radio show and he called someone a inoffensive name light-heartedly, NOTHING wrong with that. Go complain if you like i'm sure he wouldn't give a stuff.

[Jono]

Don't let the troll wind you up.

[sinister]

Pillock is a slang term for penis, co chappers was calling the listener a cock.

Berk is a contraction of the term Berkley Hunt, rhyming slang for a part of the female anatomy, a term often used by chapman too!

No, he was calling them a penis, even though they mean the same thing Cock is more insulting then 'penis', so

Pillock is a slang term for penis, co chappers was calling the listener a cock.

Is incorrect.

But anyway the real definition on 'pillock' is someone who is not very bright, Originally yes is was a slang term for the penis but fairly inoffensive now as this meaning has been forgotten.

I think a Sports Presenter would be better trained then to cuss on the radio, Pillock is NOT a cuss word.

What makes me laugh most about this thread is that we've called Iain worse than most of the words mentioned here.

Indeed i've called him a james blunt at least once but hey ho who wants cake to celebrate the trolls banning*puts on celebration by kool & the gang*

[sinister]

Pillock is NOT a cuss word.

My point was that it depends where abouts in the country you use the word, to which generation, and in what context as to if it's offensive.

I've always viewed chapman as a pillock, though that doesn't mean I wouldn't like the nasal manc git if I ever had the misfortune to meet him:D
