to hate some mumsnet vocabulary

[alphabite]

shouty, stabby, dear husband, dear son etc.

Except that I was making an interrogative suggestion, so a question mark was indeed appropriate.

And I never said I insisted on formal written punctuation. Just some punctuation.

I am not writing my English GCSE. I'm having a conversation on MN with a lunatic my friends.

Note: I have never actually done any GCSEs, being from the US, so have no idea if one writes on for English or what have you. It was a hyperbolic example.

HoneyDragon. It is fine for an internet forum but it was Tee who said she hated poor grammar and punctuation. Pot, kettle ...

Definitely stabby.

Inspired by this thread and countless others like it I have just walked into my local pub and told them I don't like the decor, the attitude, the drinks or the way they talk. The reaction was not unexpected.

Now Fenton and Tee, can you please stop pissing about and help me pick up my teeth from the floor?

I never said I hated it. I said it annoyed me.

If you're going to quote me, at least don't mis-quote me.

I thank you.

And there was nothing wrong with the grammar or punctuation of that post as this is not the Oxford English Dictionary for Dweebs, but Mumsnet.

Do I need to explain the difference to you again?

What words do you deem acceptable then, OP. Perhaps you could provide us with an exhaustive list so that we don't offend you with any "childishness".

Poo bum
Willy
Barf face
Wee brain
Bottom clanger
Pumper

Honeydragon So, I take it you made the pub regulars a bit stabby?

Bottom clanger?

Dare I ask?

The Clangers. Now there's a great programme made by people high on something.

Milk, milk, lemonade, round the corner chocolate's made.

Maybe DC stands for Dear Clangers?

Oh Christ Fenton (see what I did there?) I haven't heard that in...way more years than I feel like admitting to today.

I am not going to post on this thread again as it's just turning into a joke. I like this forum as I feel it's somewhere people can get a bit of perspective about whether their opinions are unreasonable or not. I don't think hating some words is unreasonable but I do think taking the piss out of someone is unreasonable. I think sometimes people need to remember there is a real person behind the words on the screen and perhaps they don't feel like being abused, patronised or made a joke of.

I sometimes take things to heart so thanks everyone for giving me a morning of doubting myself. I really love feeling like I do right now.

Stabby, really? I mostly see it used elsewhere online by non-parents, who aren't on MN. And shouty? How's that MN jargon? I try to avoid the Mumsnetty abbreviations when I'm posting somewhere else, but they're usually understood in context if the odd one leaks out.
I do like the way boak has been reclaimed for the whole nation. Don't see that much on Twitter.

That's because you are very very old Tee

Bye.

Come here, Honey, just for a second...

Also, thanks for the second Classic AIBU of my week.

AIBU?
YABU.
YABU.
YABU and I am being funny.
I so am not BU. Bye.

No, no, of course DS etc is a Mumsnet thing, used principally by middle class types to sneer and be "ironic'. Which is why I never use them.

See also "little Johnny"...

Personally I think the moral high ground was lost with the inference that the real people behind the keyboard using words like stabby are both childish and stupid.

We were only aiming to please.

You want a serious debate? Know your subject matter.

Also a good point Honey and put much nicer than I originally posted before I thought better and only posted 'bye'.

Avoiding tee , even
