Having visited the site I see what you were getting at, so scrub my last
answer.

I don't think there are any 'gramatically correct sentences' in there apart
from multiple exclamations. The only words which can double as verbs are
'spunk' and 'piss', which require an indirect object, which needs a
preposition, and 'fuck' and 'wank', which require a definite or indefinite
direct object (ie, an article). All the rest are nouns or noun phrases (in
the phrase on Y, is 'you' acting as an adjective?).

'y' 'w' 'e' 'b' sounds like a sentence, you can start sentences with verbs.

I'm planning on using it for my next flame reply, 'don't have time to insult you right now...'

Very poor post for a family based public newsgroup.

Apologies - I hate bleeping words out, and most of the groups I'm on are
fairly grown-up, so I forgot. You're quite right, of course.
