To ask why people use 'naive'?

[NNDS]

It does my head in!

[SelectAUserName]

As opposed to...?

Context?

[Faverolles]

Why?

[NNDS]

Tiltle should read: Why people use the word 'naice'. Silly autocorrect!

[Faverolles]

Hahaha.
It's used to describe stuff that's a cut above bog standard.
Naice ham - not the wafer thin crap used by me peasants.

[Sammie101]

Ditto! I have never understood this. What's worse is that every time I say "nice" I automatically say "naice" in a silly voice

[SelectAUserName]

Ha ha, epic autocorrect title fail!

I don't use 'naice' myself but it doesn't bother me when others do, it's just one of those MN shorthands that has become a bit tired in the over-use, but most people know what is meant by it.

[TheListingAttic]

I quite like it. It has very different connotations from merely 'nice'. 'Naice' is niceness+snobbery. It's a handy term!

[NNDS]

Don't even know why this particular word annoys me.

[SauvignonBlanche]

It was a very funny thread which is probably in Classics now about a shopping list that was found that unclouded the item 'naice ham'.
It was very funny at the time.

well because I went to a naice gels school in saith Ken
where a creche is two Range Rovers hitting each other

on the other hand niiiice refers to Jazz and the Fast Show

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Hands up who has just said creche out loud to see if it sounds like a posh crash.... :o

[sayxa]

Its a word used by people who want to be witty and humourus by copying other unfunny people.

[KellyElly]

I have never heard it used or spelt like that in RL, so am assuming it's just a word made up on here. Wanders off to check the dictionary...

[TalkinPeace]

Kelly
its phonetic .... a bit like typing forriners
and having grown up around people whose accents were so cut glass they make the Queen sound common I love it

[badbride]

Well I look like a twat now, don't I.

Not at all, GaryTheTankEngine. I think you've come up with a lovely little nuance there:

Naice: adjective used by middle middle class MILFs who shop at Waitrose
Naïce : adjective used by upper middle class owners of holiday homes in the Dordogne

[NothingMoreScaryThanAHairyMary]

As Sauvignon says it is in reference to a really old but v funny thread about a shopping list.

[Catsmamma]

I think it adds a small sense of irony

especially when typed with vair

[NNDS]

Thanks for explaining
