    I've always thought that Comic Sans is the worst font for any occasion (I was at a funeral 2 years ago and the service order was written in comic sans!), well now I have been proven wrong. There is a more inappropriate font :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

    That's funny.

    I hate it when an 'I' looks like an 'l' in some fonts.

    I'm not so familiar with British slang, but all I can say is that I'm glad a definition and not images came up on Google when I looked that up.

    I knew this thread would have a Comic Sans reference.

    This is worse though. Even I am a better graphic designer.

    Oh. Dear.
    I'm thinking someone's Christmas is going to be very awkward when their kid asks for a minge pie in front of the guests. Lmao.

    Oh, that isn't nearly as bad as Kurt Sutter's announcement of The Bastard Executioner's cancellation...in Papyrus:

    Jaysus. Comic Sans gets all the hate, but frickin' Papyrus. It's a fantastic font, don't get me wrong. But everyone and their mother and their mother's mother uses it. Why not a little originality? Let it fade away for a bit so the glut may be reduced.

    I had to google "minge" as well but that's hilarious. :lol: As one who studied graphic design in school, this sort of theory is the easiest part. Rule 1: look over your work to eliminate any unintentional pubic references.

    I use Comic Sans all the time for comedic value.
    It's expected of me at this point and goes along with my habit of not taking anything seriously.

    True, though there are some fonts I enjoy that make the I look like a lower-case L...

    COMIC SANS FOREVER!!! Sorry, but I actually enjoy the font... It looks pretty...

    Papyrus makes me laugh every time. I'll always remember, there was this instruction book for an RPG made by this death metal neo nazi guy called "Myfarog" entirely in Papyrus.

    I always have to look up the meaning when someone uses British slang. I also always regret it immediately.
