+Phone guy Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 So now you're going to make fun of the way I talk. I thought that respect of others was the norm in these forums. Quote Link to comment
geo_buggy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 (edited) I'm not disrespecting you by all means i respect you it's just a funny word that I am going to say now. Edited June 2, 2004 by geo_buggy Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 So now you're going to make fun of the way I talk. I thought that respect of others was the norm in these forums. No, no, no!!!!!! Norm in the forums is the first post at the top of the page!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+Phone guy Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Well I find that after a cache has been around awhile say 6 or so months, it seems like all the good SWAG is gone and just GUMF is left. I would like to leave a cache and pack it full of good SWAG but it wouldn't be there in a couple months. Its like people are trying to profit from a good cache leaving GUMF left in the end. How could someone "left some change" or "didn't have a SWAG to trade but took a real cool whatever" leaving the cache full of GUMF after a short period of time? Quote Link to comment
+PandyBat Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! By all means, remove it. Help out the owner. Leave a note about the trash on your logs. Definitely leave a note about it. Maybe it'll stir those that left it and they'll think twice about leaving "gumf" next time. I kinda like that word! Quote Link to comment
geo_buggy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 What I would do is just complain in the log. Of course I'm not saying you have but I dought you could tell me that you have never left gumf in a cache. Quote Link to comment
+Phone guy Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 If I have nothing but gumf then I will sign the log and take nothing. Quote Link to comment
geo_buggy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 OK. I'll bite. What the heck is gumf??? Ok I'm still not clear on gumf gumf as in candy wrappers and garbage and food and paper or worthless Items like a piece of note book paper or a leggo piece or something? Quote Link to comment

+Mud Puppy Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 So now you're going to make fun of the way I talk. I thought that respect of others was the norm in these forums. No, no, no!!!!!! Norm in the forums is the first post at the top of the page!!!!! I thought Norm was on the first bar stool on the right?!? Anything that is obviously trash I would clean out. At least the slob left his trash in the cache container rather than on the ground. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 And here I thought gumf was the stuff gum turns into when it's stuck to the bottom of your shoe and you have been walking awhile. Point when it's still pliable but so encrusted with crup that you no longer stick to the floor. Quote Link to comment
+Phone guy Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 I sure there is a word for that old gum. I'll get back to you on that. Quote Link to comment

+Cherokeecacher Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 This would be a fun word to work into our everyday stuff. Everyone try to use GUMF (correctly) in some of your posts and logs. It will be funn to see if it takes off Quote Link to comment
+Cherokeecacher Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 How would you use that word? (smeg) just run a google search for "smegma". I do not want to post it here. It is actualy a medical term/slang, that has been used to describe lots of things in everyday slang. Quote Link to comment
