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.

Live and let live you mardy fuckers

methinks these people doth protest too much

(said ironically)

I have never seen used other than clearly as a joke, and I spend way too much time here.

YABU

I've only ever seen 'gavel' used lightheartedly

Unlike ending an opening post with 'Discuss'

Where is your sense of humour?

I'm watching Homes under the Hammer.

Oooo I was guilty of 'Discuss'. But people did so it can't have been that annoying!

How did gavel come about on mumsnet???

It always makes me thing of someone backing out of a room bowing....subservient like. Not sure why. But gavel away in my company and I shall continue to see this image!! Really....no idea why..makes me laugh...YABU this is in the wrong section.

Think!!! Not thing see....backing out now...bowing....

LittlePanda Believe me, they'll have been munching on valium like they were smarties as they typed

Maybe you're thinking of grovel! I don't see much on MNet.

Gimmer is used by those of us who are less young than some other people on here.

Rant Over I don't know why it annoys me so, but it does.

YANBU.

I also like methinks, no apologies!

Hate LMFAO, and to a lesser extent LOL.

I don't like

Trot on

It sounds very patronizing

so please don't tell me to do it.

Whereas anyone who uses the word 'twonk' is clearly an uneducated moron.

Fact.

That's "a uneducated" as any grammer-policing fule no.

i do it.

you're just being mean.
