What does 'drip feed' mean?

[yaela123]

As in when OPs say 'I don't mean to drip feed'?

Sorry if it's a stupid question

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

They don't tell the whole story in one go.

[ShowOfHands]

To not give all the information in one go. To add relevant details later.

[mrsBeverleygoldberg]

When they don't tell you the whole story up front.

[ScarletForYa]

It means they failed to write 'War and Peace' in the OP.

[TondelayaDellaVentamiglia]

for example

POSTER:my husband does fuck all about the house, i have to do everything



POSTER: But I love him so much even though he has been bedridden from the nose down for forty years

[ShowOfHands]

OP: My bil is a shitbag. He's 28 and acts 18.

MN: he doesn't sound terrible

OP: he has silly hair

MN: nope. Still not getting the hate

OP: THE CUNT KILLED MY PUPPY

For example

[yaela123]

Oh thanks all!

OP: my DP wrestled my toddler to the ground stamping on him.
Mumsnet > attack.
OP: toddler was on fire at the time.

My favourite.
