Do the posters who say 'Gavel' or 'End of.' realise they sound like morons?

[BelfastBloke]

Have you ever seen a thread end just after someone has written 'Gavel' or 'End of.'?

I realise some people do it ironically, but many don't.

It's funny innit

My personal favourite at the end of a post is:

Yes, and people who flippin' italic everything, for effect. They need shooting too......

And people who do this..............

I want to know if QS still thinks a gavel is a ceremonial mullet?

I like the gavel but it should be . "Gavel" on it's own makes no sense to me. It's like putting "ruler" or "door".

I hate the term "end of" on the net and especially in real life. It is so RUDE.

I went a while thinking HTH meant "heart to heart". No wonder none of the threads made any sense to me

I don't use it, but I find it hilarious!

Some people have a complete sense of humour failure.

As Psammed said, Courts in England have never used gavel.

Only auctioneers do.

Damn I missed out an 'a'

I really don't like the word moron. Never felt moved to start a thread about it, though.

Ah, someone read my post.

So most of you think is almost always used as a joke?

That hasn't been my impression, although clearly sometimes it is.

And people who say those who hate have a sense of humour failure.

I could say "Right back atcha". But I hate that too....

I like .

If I remember correctly, it is a Codism. She is/was a magistrate and started using it at the end of her posts sometimes.

What about?

Now that is final.

"End of" is really irritating. But so is "Get over it" and "get a life". Or "get real". They seem to be ways of closing an argument without saying anything remotely useful.

YES!

I like it.

SarahStratton IDGAS

I like IDGAS. It should be used far more often.

Surely is always used ironically? I don't think I've ever seen it used in a serious way. 'End of' makes me a little bit twitchy because it's just so ... so ... grammatically incorrect. To be honest though, IDGAS really.

T'is, t'was, methinks and using faux french. Very annoying but possibly funny if used ironically.

I like

End of is chavvy if you ask me even though no one had

I love It's funny!

End of.

I spent ages thinking LOL was 'lots of love'.

Nowt wrong with

WtWWW, I heard of someone who also thought LOL was lots of love.

They sent a text to someone saying 'Sorry to hear about the death of your father. LOL'.

I don't mind but like a previous poster I absolutely hate 'methinks.'

I don't see it much on here actually but anyone who puts it on their fb status I immediately have to hide so that I can't see it.
Stuff like 'it's going to rain today methinks.' as a fb status makes me think, twat!

Belfast LOL!

(I also hate lol but that did actually make me lol.)

I dont know what gavel means and ditto NAICE just because it is said in a jokey manner doesnt make it less annoying and snooty .
