I can't be doing with all the "methinks" stuff either, although that seems to have calmed down recently.

Not as bad as bloody biscuits. Fuck off handing out biscuits.

Show me someone who uses "Methinks" and I'll show you a twat.

I'm sure I've seen MNHQ using "methinks" Jeeves!

Dp says he has "erred". I tell him he sounds pompous.

Hoppinggreen · 01/09/2015 16:41

I use methinks and 'twas in a post modern ironic way - is that ok?

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

Snowfilledsky · 01/09/2015 16:42

I have never seen 'Twas on Mumsnet' after nearly 4 years service here. Confused

Sorry Hopping. The post modern irony doesn't radiate though the internet. I'd just assume you were just failing at irony.

Hoppinggreen - no it's not ok. Please desist.

MardyBra · 01/09/2015 16:44

Maybe you could use them in a post post-modern ironic context?
