Forever Cloncing

[Icehaven]

I've been in New Quay (the Welsh one) today and on the big jetty there's a bench with a plaque on that says

            In Memoriam
         (couple's names)
               New Quay
        Forever Cloncing

And I can't find any reference to what cloncing is or was anywhere online. Either it's a misprint and should say either dancing or noncing, neither of which are that likely (although tbf I didn't know them) or it's some very obscure dialect. Does anyone know? Is it fatal, hence the memorial bench?

I think it's a goth emo thing, a sort of polyamorous no-commitment thing. A woman my friend was in love with about 15 years ago told him she was only into cloncing so I had to hear quite a lot about it as my friend spent many an evening weeping drunkenly over this woman having the temerity to not want to have sex with him.

[Shit Good Nose]

It is a Welsh term (which I think just means something like aimlessly bumbling around), but I thought it was quite specific to South East Wales.  So either I'm wrong, or the word has travelled.  Either one could be true.

It has nowt to do with having sex with children.  Unless in this case it does.

It's a Welsh term which means carrying a pound of cheese over your shoulder in a hobo bag.

Our respective definitions sort of fit together really. I know my friend struggled to find any mention of it on the internet, apart from the general chat boards of an aviation forum, oddly.

Anyway, he got a sympathy fuck from me out of it, so every cloud.

It's very much like the word nonceing.  Obviously we all know what that means on CaB and to 99.9% of the British public, but go to a small part of North West Somerset (Weston-Super-Mare, Yatton, Clevedon etc) and nonceing means aimless bumbling around, or at least has done historically.  I'm sure most people round there are aware of the alternative meaning.

It should read "Forever Cloneing".

Derek and Joyce Simulacrum were a pair of married mad scientists.
After they died they installed the plaque themselves while another group of themselves stood nearby and opened champagne in honour of themselves.

They're all terrible at spelling.

I was there one summer evening last year, watching dolphins from that harbour wall. Didn't notice the bench inscription though, but I think locally it means chatting/gossiping.

It's a Welsh term for stealing someone else's tartare sauce for your own chips.

So there we go.

I think locally it means chatting/gossiping.

Texts with a friend in Ceredigion confirmed the above. And it's pronounced clonking.

[Annie Labuntur]

I sense antipathy.

[Cerys]

Nah, I just wanted to use that gif.  I only just got it and I wanted to bestow it on someone who was deserving of how much I love it.  It's actually the opposite of antipathy.  So nyer.

Oh fair doos. Well that's not very nice then is it? "In loving memory of our dearly beloved gossips who are now forever talking God into a coma for all eternity."

I didn't see any dolphins, maybe the wrong time of year.

Is it just me, or do those sheep also look as if they're beady eyed little creatures who are busy chewing frogs?

You cwn't start a fllre
You cwn't start a fllre without a sprdh
This gwn's for hllre
Even if we're jwst cloncin' in the drdh

No, those are two weird ŵyn.

Could have been members of this group learning Welsh and meeting up to practise it from time to time.

Summer to early autumn is probably best, although I've seen them in spring from the castle at Aberystwyth when literally no one else seemed to be taking any notice.

[Cerys]

I'll believe you.  Thousands wouldn't.
