What exactly is a Binfest?

[JJ McClure]

A Binfest

It's like glastonbury but with bins

 

[Uncle C]

No come on, thats just rubbish

 

[beorhthelm]

what sort of CACKBADGER asks this question?

 

[CHAPPERS]

So what if we try and break it down by syllables.

'fest' is probably festival, so we have just to find what 'bin' is.

Correct. Fest is short for festival.

Bin is short for BINNER which describes somebody who is a complete MOWTCHOPS. Ergo, a binfest is a festival of binners normally arguing the toss over something that matters not in the real world.

Go start your own thread

 

[Man of Harveys]

I guess BINNER is derived from a snobby way of looking at people that empty said bins for a living?

 

[Uncle C]

If you Google 'binner' you end up at someone who raids skips and dustbins - doesn't sound very relavant.

 

[Mendoza]

it also involves someone trying to bring unecessary attention to themselves, and why, nobody knows

 

[Gazwag]

Shut it TOBLERONE.

If it wasnt for you gaying up the threads NSP would be alive and kicking.

How things change. I feel raped. Your words cut me like a knife.

You f***ing BINFEST Tobes.

Is possibly the first use of the word on NSC

Bloody Grade E pissed-up hacks...

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Doesn't it come from a misspelling of 'bunfest' which means a huge arguement referring to people throwing buns at each other?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Or maybe a misspelling of this:

Urban Dictionary: bunfest

Personally I prefer this meaning...

 

[Brovion]

From the NSC dictionary:

BINFEST : A load of bobble-hatters (qv) getting irritated with each other's drivel on NSC. Instead of stopping each bobble-hatter will continue adding to the binfest using more and more emotive language as they slowly forget that it's just a f***ing messageboard. Note that a binfest is usually followed by, or will contain, one or more flounces (qv)

maybe somebody should put binfest onto the Urban dictionary (like fixtures already is )

Atcherly, I think CTS' definition is closer to the mark, you SPANNER.

Now I like that. Some second rate piss artist hits the 'i' next to the 'u' by mistake and everyone else is convinced it's in the Oxford Dictionary.

What a load of prucks.

Didn't it start when Safeway was working for Brighton council during the dustmen strike and had to deal with a load of angry binmen - fondly referred to as BINNERS?

Good call Lish

Nope. I've certainly used the word BINNER for about 15 years now, the fest element was added about 5 years back.
