to think that the strike out function is the most overused and misused thingmy on Mumsnet?

[bibbitybobbityhat]

(apart from non aibus in aibu, of course)

oh, and the biscuit.

The crown is BROKEN Reindeer MNHQ took it away cos we were naughty

Right. I keep asking this. I never get an answer. It's not in the fucking anagrams whatsit or whatever the fuck it's called and I WANT TO KNOW.

What is POAS?

What is IPOAT?

Pee On A Stick

I don't know the other one

How can you know how to do a fancy bear thingy and not know POAS???? back of the class feak

The biscuit means you have no comment.

If you are going to post a biscuit, you must never ever post anything else other than the biscuit.

It is a subtle little emoticon, not necessarily passive aggresive, because someone may post a question, or about a scenario, that the biscuit offerer genuinly has no opinion on, and yet they feel the need to express this ... perhaps to show the op that it is not actually a big deal after all to some people.

I didn't know that one. IPOAT I'm learning a lot tonight.

Thank you!!!

God I feel relieved that has been bugging me.

Actually Camel I'm quite chuffed that I didn't know the acronym for peeing on a stick!

"There are IPOAT today"

That sounds weird

Bibbity - very intelligent explanation. I thought it meant fuck off don't be silly.

I think IPOAT became a sort of thread by itself, like Nobdies. "IPOAT - the hall has landed" for example

YABU to worry about overuse of the strikeout function when we still don't have the emoticon (yes, iced and with a cherry on top) that Gransnet have.

[Nothing like believing access to virtual cake will solve all one's problems, oh no.]

I still don't get the fecking biscuit. The list says it means no comment. Bibbity says it means no comment but why????? biscuits have nothing to do with wanting to say no comment

feak my autocorrect keeps wanting to call you freak btw. Not good. You've done well! I can't get enough of POAS. It's an illness.

How do you do the bear thingy then?

at FeekandWeeble

All hail Moonlight, she speaks sense. We need !

HTH

Wasn't it about Politicians being asked what their fav biscuit was and one of them said: 'no comment' (for fear of choosing the 'wrong' kind and offending one subsection of the electorate?) It might have been Brown / Blair / Cameron (interchangeable wankers, imo, but thats another matter)

couldn't help myself

Thanks, Bumping Fuglies

Biscuit no commenter was G Brown Esq.

It was Gordy Brown being asked by a mumsnetter what his fave biscuit was - he couldn't answer so it became "no comment". Has evolved a little since then though

(or [death teeth]) at Camel

I've been called worse!

Yay I got flowers from Tuna!

when people do this it makes me want to tell them it's ok you can strike out a whole sentence in one go
