Twitter censors user for calling someone a 'womble': A Twitter user was engaged in some discussion with other users about transgender issues and got frustrated. The user, whose Twitter handle is "CardiffFeminist, tweeted: “Our locations are in our names you womble.” Urban Dictionary defines "womble" as: “idiot, dolt or fool, a person that wastes other people’s time by endless waffling about one thing or another. Someone that interrupts a constructive conversation with a piece of irrelevant or unrelated information, often a personal story or anecdote, that doesn’t apply at all. In the work environment this person is generally overpaid and always under delivers due to their tendency to wast their own and everyone else’s time.” Twitter restricted the user's account for 12 hours after the offending tweet was deleted.
