Twats who say "end of"

Am I being unreasonable to want to make a pizza hut buffet out of twats who make a fairly feeble point, finish their sentence and then type. End of.

I'm not. End of.

I use it to annoy ex when he is pissing me off, it annoys him so much I get great joy out of it. As in "no I am going to explain to kids why you have let them down once again, End Of".

So unless it is me using it for that purpose no YANBU.

PerryCombover · 17/08/2011 11:11

oh I hadn't thought of that use

I grant special dispensation to use it to piss off annoying exs but in all other circumstances it's tripe isn't it?

alistron beat me to it! Grin End of.

I use it to end annoying arguments discussions topics of conversation with DC.

Eg
I want chocolate
You can't have chocolate, we have got any
I want you to buy me some chocolate
I am not buying you chocolate
I want chocolate etc etc etc
You are not having any, end of.

As in end of conversation.

Whatmeworry · 17/08/2011 11:15

I use it to annoy MN loons.

End Of :o

Birdsgottafly · 17/08/2011 11:15

YANBU-it should only be answered with, "then i have the right to sew your mouth shut and break your fingers, then, (so you can no-longer communicate), end of".

It is usually used by posters who have no or little knowledge of the subject matter. They won't read or think about what others are saying and refuse to get into discussions.

I have seen it on the anti-racist threads the most, such as, the term goliwog isn't offensive; end of.

HardCheese · 17/08/2011 11:20

YANBU. It's nearly always used by people making a monumentally stupid and completely unfounded generalisation, and then they bellow 'End of!', like they think it's some magic dispensation to stop anyone arguing back.

Plato it's not. In fact it operates at about the same intellectual level as an eight-year-old in a playground fight saying 'I'm rubber, you're glue, so whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to YOU! Ha-ha!'

scurryfunge · 17/08/2011 11:22

I see it as the equivalent of shouting "yellow mini, no return!".

Birdsgottafly · 17/08/2011 11:25

I think that many who post using such terms don't understand what a discussion forum is or that is should be used to DISCUSS, not to just air their stupidity or plain nastiness.

PerryCombover · 17/08/2011 11:59

I don't think that you should use End of at the end of that chocolate conversation Vera

You missed a very good opportunity to do pretend parenting that is only there for the benefits of other mothers.
You should have gotten down to child size and then said something patronising in a very loud voice

scurryflurry my kids do that, most probably to annoy me. I tried it once (smugemotion) only to be told "It's not black,so have it back!" Kept my gob shut after that. End of.

Megatron · 17/08/2011 12:07

YANBU. I hate it! As if the person using it really thinks that whoever they're talking to will immediately shut up just because they've said it. And it always reminds me of Saskia from Big Brother years ago which is not a good thing.

PerryCombover · 17/08/2011 12:25

megatron were you so named because of a facebook campaign?

OP posts:
OpinionatedPlusSprogs · 17/08/2011 12:32

I don't like it at the end of an opinion as it is disrespectful to others with differing ones. I use it on my kids though as I consider it better parenting than yelling "shut the fuck up".

Katiepoes · 17/08/2011 12:38

YANBU. Simple as.

ShoutyHamster · 17/08/2011 12:39

It's the pompous, almost Jeremy Clarkson-esque air of knuckleheaded assurance about it. Yes you're right, there is no further discussion to be had - not because you're right, but because you are so clearly a complacent wanky gobshite who has no idea what the word 'discourse' means.

I predict this thread will run and run - Beginning Of.

The other one that makes me shiver is Jog On.

Oh my goodness. Angry

Its unbelievably rude. Discussion or conversation does not end just because one party feels they have the right to terminate it so unilaterally. The other party has a right to their say or view.
