  • As a phrase, seen here, with a link to this article.

    What a great phrase. We should use it more often. Wordie is a fine place for phony umbrage taking.

    October 29, 2008

  • Ha! When I read your other excerpt (on gnome) I was going to suggest you add this phrase to Wordie. We must think alike.

    That frightens me.

    October 30, 2008

  • What?! I condemn your remarks.

    October 30, 2008

  • I reject your condemnation and demand condemnation + renouncement.

    October 30, 2008

  • I'm highly offended! You will apologize immediately.

    Both of you.

    October 30, 2008

  • I take umbrage at that, reesetee. There is no comparison between your reprehensible comments and Atourgates's demand for a renouncement of my condemnation of your remarks. The decent thing to do is apologize and renounce your terrorist pals.

    October 30, 2008

  • Why do you hate freedom?

    October 30, 2008

  • That is an execrable statement and I demand a retraction. I am shocked—shocked!—that a fine marsupial such as yourself would repudiate all the opportunities you've been given. To apologize, I mean. Or to use brackets! I am shocked.

    October 30, 2008

  • I just want you all to know that I am keeping a detailed list of all the infractions of the norms of civilized behavior that go on here. So don't delude yourselves that your assorted transgressions will pass unnoticed.

    Apologize, retract, atone, renounce NOW. While there is still time.

    You know who you are.

  • His tail's on fire again.

    October 30, 2008

  • I'll take an umbrage - to go. I'm waiting for a pizza delivery.

    October 30, 2008

  • This whole page offends my sensibilities.

    *harrumphing*

    October 30, 2008

  • I have reason to believe that my opponent, reesetee, is faking umbrage taking. And frankly I find that offensive.

    October 30, 2008

  • This intolerance must stop! It is endangering our collective reputation!

    October 30, 2008

  • That umbrage was clearly phony. If you can't take the trouble to take real phony umbrage, frindley... Please.

    Wait... *disappears into self* Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!

    October 30, 2008

  • Clearly, chained_bear is mocking the difficulties that average Wordies face when posting on pages such as "marathon of phony umbrage taking." I mean, is she or is she not for the people?

    I demand a retrac--aaaaagh!

    *falls into c_b's hole of self-absorption*

    October 30, 2008

  • *sneaks in. puts umbrage back. sneaks back out*

    October 30, 2008

  • *reaches a single, desperate paw up from the abyss, grasping at dontcry's donated umbrage*

    October 30, 2008

  • *grabs one of chained_bear's rear paws*

    October 30, 2008

  • *struggles toward the light*

    October 31, 2008

  • Hey! Who took all my umbrage?!

    October 31, 2008

  • Steady, steady. It's a marathon not a sprint.

    October 31, 2008

  • Bilby, that phrase is actually posted on the top of my monitor. And I am highly offended that you would stoop to such depths as to quote my silly monitor sayings simply to make a comment. I demand a retraction.

    October 31, 2008

  • Bah, not enough there for you to get upset about. I am not a premature retractulator.

    P.S. Why do you have cliches on your lizard?

    October 31, 2008

  • I see you've made it out of the self-hole, chained_bear. And I'm shocked--shocked--that you would take umbrage at bilby's comment. I demand that you retract your demand for a retraction.

    October 31, 2008

  • It's not a cliché. So there. Nyah!

    I take umbrage that anyone could possibly ask me to retract my demand for a retraction. Reesetee, your actions are deplorable. I demand that you immediately issue a retraction of your demand that I retract my demand for bilby's retraction!

    I am highly offended. And also quite a bit confused.

    October 31, 2008

  • I hereby stand by my words, and I refuse to retract my demand that you retract your demand for bilby's retraction.

    help....

    October 31, 2008

  • Was this page ever about anything?

    October 31, 2008

  • No. Why do you ask?

    October 31, 2008

  • That question is offensive.

    October 31, 2008

  • That's a reprehensible insuation chained_bear.

    October 31, 2008

  • What's an insuation? *thumbs through dictionary* Should I take umbrage?

    November 1, 2008

  • I am highly offended at your thumbprints on that dictionary, chained_bear.

    Wait...is it my turn?

    November 1, 2008

  • I don't know, but I take umbrage at this page.

    November 3, 2008

  • I suspect that so much umbrage taking has occurred here that there's no more to be had.

    But still, I'm oddly offended.

    November 3, 2008

  • *reloads page with phony umbrage so there's more for the marathon taking*

    November 3, 2008

  • You've reloaded the page?? How could you? I demand an unreloading.

    November 3, 2008

  • *sneaks in and takes an umbrage while all the bickering is going on* *snort*

    November 3, 2008

  • You people! Having fun while I'm slaving over report cards! Don't you *know* that there is an official ban on phony umbrage, bad puns, and the wordie treatment until I can turn them in at 2pm tomorrow??? I demand that you rereload this page, as well as english reasearch paper sans phony umbrage. Don't make me come up there!!!

    November 4, 2008

  • *sits down quickly and folds hands*

    Yes, Ms. Jennarenn.

    January 16, 2009

  • No. No, there is some genuine umbrage there, to be sure--although not yet a marathon.
