hope u r ok hun x

[Bennifer]

Why is it that most of my female friends on facebook are forever posting this on other people's statuses? It's so grating. AIBU to dislike this? It just seems so childish

HOPE

huns, not for hugging.

Actually, the worst ones are the kind of lifestyle boasts, e.g

"Awwww, mummy is so proud of her little man for buying me diamond stud earrings for first mother's day"
"Just had amaaaaazing holiday scuba diving in Hawaii with perfect partner, life just doesn't get any better than this".

Grrrrr.
Perhaps I am just a grumpy fucker though.

Morlorth, I did reply to a friend once that I was not called "Atilla"... I think that image sums it up perfectly.

Agree about lifestyle boasts! I don't have a lifestyle, I have a fecking LIFE! Grrrrrrrrrr!

Usually when I see this it's in response to some sort of attention-seeking or passive-agressive status that has already got my back up, like "X is feeling really down today", or "X wishes that some people wouldn't be so nasty" . Irritable? Moi?

YANBU. Hate it. Smacks of pretending to care whilst really not giving a shit but wanting everyone to think you're a lovely, thoughtful person.

My mother tends to put 'argh' instead of 'awwwww', which makes her horror/pirate impressions deeply amusing.

oh hunies it just txt speak chillax

too good to resist sorry

Hun - noun

1. A member of a warlike Asiatic nomadic people who ravaged Europe in the 4th?5th centuries.
2. A reckless or uncivilized destroyer of something.
3. A disparaging name for a German.

3 reasons I do not use this term.

can't bear hun, also :) or ;) drive me crackers. I have one friend who always puts them after a slightly controversial/borderline bitchy statement to kind of sweeten the pill.

Also hate "hun" and kisses by people who don't even know you....

They mean sod all.........

I feel it is condescending to call anyone 'Hun', always feel they are taking the piss....they usually are.

Start doing it yourself on all their facebook walls, but with one slight alteration:

'hope u r ok visigoth x'

Get 'em thinking

Awww, lool, huns, u r all soooo funny xxxx

It's the xx that annoy me more than anything. I think there should be a rule you shouldn't write kisses you wouldn't actually deliver in real life. Best friend, partner, relative - fine. Your hairdresser or your child's friend mother you barely know - no.

My sister in law (late 40's) has her best friend listed as her "sister" on fb. I did chuckle to myself at that and think, are you 12?

According to Urban Dictionary, LOOL means:

1. LOL acronym accented with two emoticon eyes, for a surprise and 'ooh' effect

1. to laugh but also to drool, to emphasise the 'o' thus making it LOOL.

1. 'Laughing Overly Out Loud'. A derivative of LOL.

I don't use "hun", but I can think of far worse things a friend could post. At least it is meant kindly.

Dos anyone else get annoyed at writing coherent, well written messages to people and then getting complete drivel back again? You would think these people would notice the well constructed sentences, correct spelling and use of punctuation and think "I suppose I ought to make the effort not to sound like an illiterate twat in my reply" but nope, I have to endure "hope your ok hun, we re all grate and we carn t wait 4 the wkend"

Raaaaaaaaaar. My particular pet hate in replies like that one ^^ is that they have clearly left a space where there needs to be an apostrophe, but left the space, neglected, lonely and in desperate need of someone to make it all right again.

I think these things through far too much.

Kill me now.

"Does" not "dos".

shoutyhamster I love the visigoth idea

Everytime I see 'Hope you are ok hun xx' I read it as 'Tell me what's wrong because I'm a nosey parker. Tell me, tell me! xx'. Because you know it's only ever put in reply to one of those oh-so crypic statuses don't you?

CULL, anyone who LOL's or Hun's on my wall...instant CULL.
