And here's my reaction to them:
burning_eyes burning_eyes burning_eyes burning_eyes burning_eyes burning_eyes burning_eyes
Really, if you need to type out some educated pun despite being born impoverished and speaking in bad grammar, use a dictionary.
Now to all my Guild friends: I'm sure that quite a few times you've read a bad pun in someone's typed statement on any forum. To call a certain website, for instance, "an armpit of the internet"...does he/she imply it's an insult to other websites, or that it smells funny? I don't really think you can use armpit as a literal or figurative term of reference, just as a bad way of judging things.
But even if there's no real meaning behind it, is it still alright to use dirty words or phrases as puns? We all have different ways of using grammar properly, yet I believe you should have a right to ask what the person using that phrase actually means, otherwise you'll dismiss it as being used for spite.

I agree...
I've seen instances online where someone has called a particular item a "pile of sh*t"
My first reaction was to ask if it smelled bad, I was in turn laughed at and told that it was a poorly made item and not worth the money.
My final responce? "that would mean its a 'peice of sh*t' learn english so that the world knows what youre speaking about"

Those aren't dirty words! Those are curse words. A dirty pun would be something like:
"Hey! It's dangerous to go waving that thing around!" - FLCL aka Furi Kuri xp
