to hate some mumsnet vocabulary

[alphabite]

shouty, stabby, dear husband, dear son etc.

Honey, you have no idea.

There you go, Worra. Hardly going to be used on MacConvosUsernet now is it?

Haha. I love how people are trying to defend such stupid words.

shouty and stabby make people sound about 10.

Or five.

If you must use 'creepy wee brackets' please use 2 on each end.

One on each end is opening and closing HTML tags.

Thanks Amykins.

I find all the copycat sweary 'wordplay' usernames very irritating. One or two are clever e.g TheCunningStunt but every other person has a name like that now

I'm pretty sure MN doesn't invent any of its own vocabulary. It's all imported from elsewhere and gets adopted because it's appropriate, useful shorthand, or whatever.

But nobody is forcing you to use it OP. Type whatever you want.

I LOATHE the emoticon when one poster says it to another tounderline how deluded and how very, terribly wrong they are in what they say.

There was one woman who did it recently on a staffie thread and it made me think that at the end of ever posting she was sticking her tongue out like some lisping, spoilt Violet Elizabeth Bott from Just William. You may as well put
"so nah-Nah-NAH"! as far as I read it.

As far as ideas go, that's not a bad one at all Lentilly

'said'

So I knocked on said door etc etc

I think I just got a bit stabby and shouty above (both of which I like)

I like DH,DS etc as Just H and S doesn't stand out enough easily.

I'm another one who cannot stand the tweeness of DH, DD, etc. So I refuse to use them.

I'd never seen them used on any other forum before I joined MN.

euro, I refused for ages but succumbed to the laziness in the end

It does make me laugh though how most of us (me included) hate lazy text speak....yet here we all are typing DD, DS, DH, DP etc...

The only acronymn I really get stabby at hate is AF. It is a period Stop calling it Aunt fucking Flo!

LentillyFart I have no towering intellect and certainly never said I did. I simply hate some childish words used on here. No need to take it too far and become malicious.

Indeed aphabite

Oh no, Worra. Not all of us have succumbed to DH, DS, DD etc. Some of us have standards.

Just for the record, BTW, I don't actually use DS or DH. I just type 'my husband' or 'my son'.

You could do the same, alphabite.

BTW2, neerneer boo boo is childish. DS and DH are just shorthand.

HTH!

I was more meaning stabby and shouty as childish, not DS DH.

Personally I feel the D in DH, DS etc. stands for all sorts of things (daft, deluded, dangerous, drunk, derailed, deaf, diabolical and occasionally dear).

Oh. Well. Then don't say them?

Solved!
