Request to add a Wee Corner feature to the site

I’m in NI and I knew what you meant by a Wee Corner😃 I do think stuff like that is probably better off in Chat though as others have said. Mostly because a lot of the more niche boards just end up being tumbleweed and the people who use them start posting in Chat or AIBU to reach a wider audience anyway. I like knitting and crochet and sometimes dip into the Arts and Crafts board, but it’s quiet in there. If someone asks a craft related question in Chat, it gets far more responses than on the Arts and Crafts board.

Chat covers whatever anyone chooses it to though. If you have something interesting to add, go for it!

Everyone loves a good toilet thread

I understand what you mean OP, it’s not that difficult.

BUT after the things I’ve seen here in the past few days, I’m not sure I’d bother. It is like throwing pearls to swine possibly wouldn’t be appreciated here in the right way.

FYI there is a place on Reddit for short videos (20 mins ish) on random topics. I like that place.

Another who is a bit puzzled as to what this board would offer, that 'Chat' doesn't.

Thats what chat is for.
I'd love to see lots of interesting random stuff come up in active. I think its a lovely idea.

i get the 'wee corner' meaning, even
uf my bladder reacts 🤣🤣. What I don't get is why we need yet another 'place' when we already have 'chat' & many many topics? Things that are of 'interest' are far better in relevant topics or if very general. There's chat.

Is that not what "chat" is for?

Well that set my bladder off! 🤣

but we already have chat, why do you think another place be useful?

I was fully expecting it to be where we go to piss into the wind, myself

Wee corner? For piss talk?

those interesting articles/subjects that any of us may have stumbled upon
How about Collins’ Corner?

"The random corner"?

Oh my god, I thought the same!

Are people really not getting that the OP just means a thread on MN to share interesting things you have come across that might also be of interest to others? Why are people fixating on the meanings of 'wee' and 'corner'?!

I don't know that 'Wee Corner' would be the best thread title (I've seen worse!) but the idea is a good one I think. I'd enjoy dipping in and finding interesting things I might not otherwise have stumbled across. Would be a nice change from some of the griping and sniping and could be quite uplifting.

What does it mean in Scotland? I mean, I know wee means little, but what is conveyed by the term 'wee corner'. I'm imagining either a noticeboard in a local shop, where people pin postcards about pet sitting, secondhand trumpets, etc; or something like a nature table at school, where children bring in interesting finds.

(I don't think it can be the former, because I never heard the term in Fags, Mags and Bags, which is my main cultural reference point for small Scottish shops

I don't think anyone would understand what it was for with that name. Scottish or not.

I am Scottish and I still assumed it would be about peeing. I think it's a ridiculous idea.

@Arregaithel I assumed you meant "little corner" but even then I wonder if I'm missing a reference

You mean just a place for random interesting things? It needs a more descriptive title, surely.

or did you capitalise those letters by mistake?

I'm honestly not trying to nitpick. I'm just trying to work out whether you want a wee
corner as the thread title or you mean you think a wee corner of the site should be devoted to random interesting things.

We'd be inundated with ads for Tena Lady! 🤭

I’m sassenach and don’t use the word ‘wee’ to mean little, unless I’m culturally appropriating eg a wee dram. Which I wouldn’t say anyway as I dislike whisky, but you get my drift
