to wonder why everyone seems to be using the word 'naice'?

[theincredibequeenofwands]

I've seen it LOADS today.

Is it a typo? Or is it an actual new word?

Please tell me!

I could tell you.

But then I'd have to kill you...

IIRC it originates from Jilly Cooper novels where someone is trying to sound posher than they are, they have elocution lessons but get it slightly wrong. Therefore they wouldn't just buy ham, they would buy nice ham.

Oh and because it is xmas one buys "naicer" things than usual

Wasn't 'nice ham' on a shopping list that someone found?

Cause it's hilarious.

In Tesco yesterday, my list consisted of:

Champagne
Frozen raspberries
Birthday card
Cake ingredients
Crusty bread
Nice ham.

I had actually written 'Nice' ham and didn't notice until in the 'ham' aisle I looked at list, looked at 'Naice' ham and let out an almost-giggle (got a few strange looks)

I did consider leaving said list in trolley in the hope an unsuspecting Mumsnetter would find it and smile

'vair' is another one!

vair naice ham?

btw - having Champagne on my list may seem a tad pretentious, however to even things out I had just done my main shop in Aldi.

(I is common as muck and vair proud of it )

I hate "naice" and "vair", especially when italicised

While doing the Christmas food shop at sainsburys I asked DH "shall we get some naice ham?"
Then snorted and giggled a bit.
He didn't get it, and disappointingly, no-one in the queue for the deli laughed either. I guess you were all at waitrose.

I love naice and vair. They make me laff.

I love how it sounds in my head - that's enough to make me giggle doesn't take much

Naice
Vair
Laff
Luffs
Norty

Am pulling the skin off my face right now.
