Ugandan discussions

"Ugandan discussions" is a euphemism for sex coined during the early 1970s by the satirical British magazine "Private Eye".

The basis of the term arose at a party in London hosted by Neal Ascherson at which Irish moralist and journalist Mary Kenny, during her early, wild phase, spent some time upstairs with a former Ugandan government minister. On rejoining the other guests, Kenny explained their absence by saying they were "upstairs discussing Uganda".

— Where are they?
— I believe they slipped away for some private Ugandan discussions.

— She looks like she was dragged through a hedge backwards!
— She was upstairs discussing the situation in Uganda, allegedly.

Ugandan Discussions

Ugandan discussions:
Originally referred to a British journalistic euphemism for sexual-intercourse , usually illicit, coined by the satirical magazine Private Eye when dictator Idi Amin Dada (1971-1979) accused one of his ministers, Princess Elizabeth, of having sex in a bathroom while on a diplomatric mission to Europe. Has more recently been applied to Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and his wife, Crown Princess Mary.

Thanks to increased security and press coverage, Crown Prince Frederik's Ugandan Discussions opportunities have been curtailed and he is firmly under guard, walking ten paces behind a Prada-boot-sporting Princess Mary on shopping trips, carrying the kids.

This means that the discussions are tedious and literally no one cares about them! Most students just find some answer on google and summarize it as their discussion.

BFDI Wiki Discussions 

Considered by many to be hell on earth.

Side effects may include addiction, the worsening of mental health, having to deal with trolls/new-gens, and having to witness random meaningless drama.

However, Discussions has gradually fallen off ever since some point in early 2025, slowly succumbing to its inevitable heat death.
(Or will it?)

Quick History:
- Discussions added to the BFDI Wiki in 2018.
- please talk to me (quite possibly the greatest mega-thread on all of fandom) is born in April of 2020.
- idiot wikians decide to raid paw patrol wiki in 2021/22
- Discussions is shut down in 2022. (Reason likely being the drama.)
- Discussions returns around late-2022 or early-2023 as a second chance.
- Off-topic gets banned sometime in 2023. (It gradually gets less and less enforced.)
- Eventually, off-topic is no longer enforced to the point where the ban is essentially lifted. (However, the category stays archived.)
- The greatest year of the wiki, 2024, takes place.
- damn 2025 the fall-off is real

Person 1: "hi im new"
Person 2: "heyyyy welcome to the bfdi wiki discussions"
Person 4: "sup"
Person 3: "Welcome to our special hell."
Person 1: "what"
Person 2: "dude not cool"
Person 4: "no they've got a point"
Person 5: "h1! w31c0m3 t0 d155cu5510n5!"
Person 1: "??? what does that mean"
Person 2: "^^^ yeah okay but still"
Person 6: "HIHIIHIHIHIIHIHIHI"

rainfall discussion 

A rational dialogue in which all the bullshit gets washed away, and straightforwardness is valued over emotional manipulation. Alludes to the gentle fall of rain, as rational discourse is more cleansing and beneficial than typical heated arguments driven by anger.

Instead of another rant, let's try and have a rainfall discussion about Islam. Both sides are much too emotionally charged to make any real progress.

FlowerBomber - I think what Malala Yousafzai's (the girl who got shot in the head by the Taliban) father said about The Satanic Verses and uproar and offence it caused in Pakistan is important with situations like this:
"First, let's read the book and then why not respond with our own book" and then said "Is Islam such a weak religion that it cannot tolerate a book written against it? Not my Islam!".

Diplomjodler - No wonder she got a bullet to her head. Extremist ideas can never survive a rainfall discussion. They can only exist by suppressing dissent. That's what all this shit is about.
