Sounds like a major penalty.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:00 AM ^
12 hours for unsportsmanlike conduct, I guess
January 20th, 2021 at 8:51 AM ^
It’s pretty self-explanatory, unless you don’t know what Twitter is.
January 20th, 2021 at 8:56 AM ^
I am pretty informed in the twitter verse and I don't have any idea what this means?
January 20th, 2021 at 9:01 AM ^
Agreed. It must be a thing in narrow, dark circles.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:02 AM ^
Okay.
Yost Ice Arena has a student section. Before TV mics picked it up (a thing when college hockey was televised for about a ten year period), the Children of Yost had a vulgar C-YA chant with a string of naughty words, beginning with Cunt. [Edit: Evidently "Chump" was the C-word used. I guess in my memory I made it worse to justify why the school made the students stop.]
Today is Biden’s inauguration. Trump is leaving office. A dooooooouchebag (middle of the chant, like five goooooold rings in 12 days of Christmas) might be inclined to post the C-YA chant on Twitter as an expression of their disdain for the outgoing president.
Such inciting and vulgar language is resulting in a 12-hour Twitter ban. Guessing OP learned from experience, though she/he may be a Twitter moderator bringing us this warning.

EDIT: Woo Hoo! Another magical double post! It's my lucky day! Bang me!
January 20th, 2021 at 9:18 AM ^
Thank you.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:22 AM ^
Thanks since not everyone is a UM hockey fan
January 20th, 2021 at 9:42 AM ^
Huh? And you're allowed on MGoBlog?!
January 20th, 2021 at 10:57 AM ^
I received an exemption due to my significant donations to Brian and Co
January 20th, 2021 at 11:00 AM ^
I can fix that!
/s
January 20th, 2021 at 9:38 AM ^
Thanks, that was very informative. So anyone tweeting C-YA will be punished, or do hashtags have to be included? Never mind, I'm not tweeting anything anyway.
January 20th, 2021 at 11:04 AM ^
Appreciate the more detailed explanation, but is anyone seriously proposing Twitter (a global communications platform) is implementing a protocol based on a vulgar chant from college hockey?
Maybe my sarcasm meter requires calibration today.
January 20th, 2021 at 2:46 PM ^
Given it hit like a minute after I posted there is apparently a word or word combo in there that probably triggers some sort of automatic flag and ban.
My best guess is that it's "Dave Brandon"
January 20th, 2021 at 1:32 PM ^
It starts with Chump....
January 20th, 2021 at 2:20 PM ^
Beginning with Cunt?
98-03, but it was Chump not cunt, right?
January 20th, 2021 at 2:28 PM ^
Well, you and the post above and any documentation I find on the internet say Chump. Maybe it was just me...
But is "chump" twitter ban worthy? Pfft.
January 25th, 2021 at 1:26 PM ^
Cunt would have most likely shut it down much quicker. I think the addition of Cock Sucker was where the chant started to get shut down and students were getting kicked out. They needed to keep the insults more pg-13.
January 24th, 2021 at 3:00 PM ^
The students were doing the chant last spring before the season was stopped. If anything the chant was longer than it had ever been.
January 20th, 2021 at 8:49 AM ^
What about "you're fired"?
January 20th, 2021 at 10:10 AM ^
Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.
January 20th, 2021 at 1:44 PM ^
how's your billion dollar palace?
also, someone needs to start a Navalny account on here to go at it w/ Hotel Putingrad
January 20th, 2021 at 11:33 AM ^
How about Bye, Felicia?
January 20th, 2021 at 8:51 AM ^
Thanks for an incredibly stupid post
January 20th, 2021 at 8:51 AM ^
Rule #1 of Twitter: Don't do it.
January 20th, 2021 at 11:32 AM ^
Twitter = cesspool
January 20th, 2021 at 12:10 PM ^
Sports twitter is awesome. Joke twitter is awesome.
I honestly don't know how you find cesspool twitter unless you're looking for it specifically.
January 20th, 2021 at 12:28 PM ^
Telegraph, et al, make Twitter look like a poetry lecture at Oxford by comparison.
January 20th, 2021 at 10:19 AM ^
The toupee at 6:33 lol...
January 20th, 2021 at 9:04 AM ^
Sieve sieve sieve sieve sieve ??
January 20th, 2021 at 9:06 AM ^
It’s all your fault.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:10 AM ^
Better idea: avoid Twitter like you would avoid the Bubonic plague.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:13 AM ^
Facebook, too.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:25 AM ^
Agreed 1000%. social media = huge increase in division within the US
January 20th, 2021 at 11:06 AM ^
Or, social media = huge increase in those who've had their heads buried in the sand noticing how others are treated.
January 20th, 2021 at 10:16 AM ^
As long as you wear a mask, you can tweet without risk.
January 20th, 2021 at 12:00 PM ^
Google, Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter--they all use algorithms that drive you to your bias at the exclusion of opposing worldviews of any kind, not just politics. It's literally destroying our discourse, arts, sciences, etc. It's a full-frontal brain hack. Come back to the real world and deal with the people right in front of your face.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:16 AM ^
Anybody remember the series with Colgate in 1997 where "Wildfong" got added to the end of the C-YA chant? Kinda random remembrance, but it was the same day we came back to beat Iowa so most of that day is stuck in my head.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:23 AM ^
You really felt the need to post this?
January 20th, 2021 at 9:23 AM ^
This cheer's been on my mind for days. If only Trump's "farewell ceremony" had a student cheering section.
Yeah yeah politics and all. This will all probably be locked and deleted at some point. Until then...
CHUMP! DICK! WUSS! DOUCHBAG! ASSHOLE! PRICK! CHEATER! BITCH! WHOOOOOORE!
January 20th, 2021 at 9:26 AM ^
I am not following... are you talking about Trump, Biden, Harris or pretty much the vast majority of politicians in general?
January 20th, 2021 at 9:31 AM ^
Talking about Trump. The general celebratory nature of the post seems to be the major tip-off. I didn't like the tangerine goblin at all and never understood voting for him or the justifications for voting for him given his manifest unfitness for the office, but my wife has been on cloud nine for the past few days and I am looking forward to the day about a month into Biden's Presidency when she wakes up and realizes that pretty much nothing changed except a super annoying Twitter account got blinked out of existence.
January 20th, 2021 at 9:50 AM ^
At least some environmental protection policies should be put into place. And other such positive, long-term legislation. And science will be important again, which should help on the Covid front. But, yeah, not much changes rapidly and that’s kind of the point with checks and balances.
January 20th, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
Well, you obviously don't have Muslim friends trying to enter the country.
