And why has the thread about it disappeared. Been on mn for 6 months and keep seeing references to it. My curiosity has got the better of me...

But they're not 'in' jokes. They appear as the threads appear.

You just have to chuck yourself in, make a stupid comment and repeat until you get acknowledged or at least that's what I did

SuePurblybiltbyElves · 22/12/2011 20:40

How are they in jokes? You can see the progression from comments on this thread. It's like the drawings of evolution - you can see the jokes becoming erect on this very thread, from actual new comments from actual posters of actuality.

No, but I've managed to get out of wrapping and cooking dinner.

imo some behave as if they are royalty and spesh
and all their bumlickey pals laugh at their jokes, and make oblique references.and piss selves about bats,troll spray and in jokes I think it originated in a press article and stuck

cant think for life of me why anyone would want to be thought of as. royalty,it's a back handed compliment

A meme is an element of culture or behaviour passed on through non-genetic means: on a forum that will be in-jokes and references. Nothing to do with schools, although they will have their own memes. You could argue that persistent references to schoolyards when people feel irritated and excluded are an internet meme too, I suppose.

FFF - Not in jokes they started on an earlier thread tonight where Shiney was finally outed as being a green fingered, pussy willow loving troll.

Hence all the gardening jokes.

Go on Shiney - deny it if you dare Angry

FestiveFrollockingFrenzy · 22/12/2011 20:42

I just don't get the jokes... Maybe it's a different sense of humour thing. If said in rl, I might get them, but here, I'm just like wtf Xmas Confused

Bloody - have you recently NC'd? Sure I recognise you...?

BloodyWedding · 22/12/2011 20:43

trust nae fucker is a reference to a thread last night that scottishmummy imparted the immortal 'trust nae fucker' words of wisdom on, see ?

LEttletownofBOFlehem · 22/12/2011 20:43

It might be more of a trope though. I get them mixed up.

BloodyWedding · 22/12/2011 20:44

Yo Pinot, yes, was for a thread to slag exh off, am usually Brian.

Google is your friend as far as Memes are concerned (they're an internet wide phenomenomomom. Not an acronym limited to MN Smile)

And the schoolyard snipe was unnecessary TBH. As i Sadi unless this is your first foray into an internet forum you would be aware that there are always cries of cliquery/royalty. We don't all arrive on the site as a bunch of friends - we make those friends over time - it's like being a local in a pub. Others come into the pub, you chat happily, another older friend comes up to the bar and you say "Hello sweetie!" you ok?" and that's the way it is.

Admit it Shiney, you set the whole thing up because you were fed up of living a LIE and we all just played into your hands.

FestiveFrollockingFrenzy · 22/12/2011 20:46

I can see where you're coming from, I'm bad with names so I have no hope of making friends on here!
