I haven't read the whole thread I am so important I don't care if this has been said fifty times already, it's not been said until I've said it.

AIBU? give me some sympathy and agree with me

I don't mean any offence but... I am a twat

I'm not being rude but... I am a twat

There must be more. Snark away...

Where did Norks do that?

lougle · 04/04/2013 22:31

Norks I think there are plenty of generic phrases to translate without resorting to phrases used by specific posters.

LTB= why haven't you left already!!!?!?!?

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:21

Your baby your rules = I can't be arsed to formulate a reasoned argument, but just wanted to spout some supportive sounding nonsense

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 22:21

You mean when ::gavel:: is used by me, right MaryZ? Because when it's used by you, well I don't want to call you a...you know...

Should I POAS= Look at meeeeeeeeee

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:17

HTH= I have just said something really nasty and want to end on an amusing note = I am a twat

But I love going to strip clubs, it is so empowering for the women who work there= I am a twat

I am a lawyer with my own island and nobody should get benefits ever, because I single handedly raised 97 children whilst being a successful island owning lawyer = I think you get where this is going

NorthernLurker · 04/04/2013 22:08

Grin at geriatric baby bearing upmanship. Nah. Three dds is enough for me Smile

That reminds me though

'I've got a bump, 50 positive HPTs and a liking for gherkins but I can't be pregnant' = I had unprotected sex 4 months ago and I bloody well am pregnant.

BarbaraWoodlouse · 04/04/2013 22:07

= I am a twat Grin

BarbaraWoodlouse · 04/04/2013 22:05

"I'm not a sock puppet" = "I'm a sock puppet"

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 22:03

Grin PD

PacificDogwood · 04/04/2013 22:02

PacificDogwood · 04/04/2013 22:02

Any mention of 'mouldies' = you are a twat Grin

Try and have your a baby at 44 = geriatric mum upmanship = you are a twat

Oh, oh, and: overuse of evil = you are a twat

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 21:59

Do what I did, NL. Have a baby at 40.

By the time you're 44, like me, you'll feel about 60.

Probably not encouraging.

I was just teasing. As my oldest child is nearly 15 I am starting to feel old though.

cumfy · 04/04/2013 21:57

Flame away =

It's none of your business = IABU, now fuck off.

Rant over = IABU but have crossed my fingers so nuuurrrrr.

:) = Fuck off

Wink= I'm sure you'll agree I'm clever; now fuck off.

MavisGrind · 04/04/2013 21:55

Yeah...that all came out wrong Blush

MavisGrind · 04/04/2013 21:53

No, no, no Northern - not wishing to offend at all! Wisdom has nothing to do with age (and I'm older than you and a fuckwit) Grin

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 21:51

NL you're 36? Such a babe! Grin

(Saying someone is a a babe = you're a twat)

milkwasabadchoice · 04/04/2013 21:49

HTH = hope this helps you realise that you're a twat.

NorthernLurker · 04/04/2013 21:49

Well Mavis now I'm reeling from the idea you could think I was considerably older than 36. Do I know you? (= oh bugger she IS a stalker Grin)

PacificDogwood · 04/04/2013 21:48

Any mention of 'mouldies' = has been on MN too long that'll be me then
