Dogooders v Ne'erdowells

[jake]

A lot of threads on here (normally of the "send 'em back/string 'em up" variety) seem to take exception to "do-gooders". The opposite of do-gooders would seem to be "Ne'erdowells" - so lets all see what everyone thinks - who's best/worst...

 

1. Do-gooders

2. Ne'erdowells

 

Answers on a postcard...

Only one way to decide this - FIGHT!

Quite.

 

What about the "doasyouwouldbedoneby's"?

[pattricia]

What exactly is a Ne'erdowell ?

[pinklady]

In my experience Do-gooders are usually Ne'erdowells

[Squiggs]

or just "interfering busybodies"

[jake]

What exactly is a Ne'erdowell ?

 

As the name suggests - it's someone who never does well/good things.

Oh , yes I see Jake. Had to be opposite to Dogooder.

Interesting to see that the people of sheffield prefer people who do bad stuff to those who do good stuff...
