It is a bit cheeky to come onto a website, tell everyone that they are being silly and childish and using words that you don't like, then get the humpf when we all get a bit silly and childish.

You can't beat a well placed 'sanctimonious' or 'disingenuous'.

GetOrfMoiiLand · 17/07/2012 14:21

I got deleted for calling some twat cunt fucker MNer disingenuous.

Honest to goodness.

TheEternalOptimist · 17/07/2012 14:22

tut tut, Getorf. What is MNHQ thinking of?

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 17/07/2012 14:28

II personally think cunts are luffly. They deliver orgasms and babies. So I wouldn't use cunt as an insult.

I've only used cuntworms once, and it did feel like the only possible description...

If you don't like the terms though, alphabite, ignore them. You must have known what kind of reaction you'd get.

Fiderer · 17/07/2012 15:27

Nothing stopping you not using words or terms you don't like.

I don't particularly like "dd" " ds" so I don't use them, use "d" "s" or for my own "s1" "s2" or sometimes "FidGirl" etc. Doesn't bother me what other people use and no one has refused to answer my posts or come at me with pitchforks because of it.

Tee2072 · 17/07/2012 15:36

Fid, they actually have come at you with pitchforks, but I've held them off. Didn't want to worry you.

Fiderer · 17/07/2012 15:44

Pitchforks also because I use single brackets which are coding brackets for HTML apparently Wink
So the excess lost brackets are pitch-forking people as well. You must be well pricked Tee Grin

And heroic.

Tee2072 · 17/07/2012 15:46

Apparently? You doubt my incredibly weak coding abilities?!?!

You wouldn't believe the number of holes. This here tea I'm drinking is leaking all over...

Fiderer · 17/07/2012 15:53

Run, Tee, run!

SandyBottoms · 17/07/2012 15:59

'Flamed' is my favourite MNism. Genius!

Arse.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 17/07/2012 16:05

Ooh GetOrf, I have -fabricated-- it on good authroty that disingenuous is a HotWord and if you type it on a thread MNHQers will be on your arse like something that is fast and eager.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 17/07/2012 16:06

Yodelayoo.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 17/07/2012 16:06

Hulolololololo...

ohChristFENTON · 17/07/2012 16:07

I think the OP has been disingenuous in starting a thread slating MN and then sulking because people took the piss a bit.

Mrsjay · 17/07/2012 16:08

you talking to yourself again Chaos Grin

maytheoddsbeeverinyourfavour · 17/07/2012 16:15

I like all the DH DS buisiness, it just feels right somehow Grin

I also don't think of the actual meaning of the letters, so to me af means period I don't read it as 'aunt flo'

I do hate bd for 'baby dancing' but again after a while I just read it as shagging

Now, there's someone who needs to embrace Capitalism.

RichTeas · 17/07/2012 16:26

Amykins, I'm with you on adding "no" to the end of a sentence. Hate it hate hate it. And you hear it often in RL too. I would even accept an "innit" over a "no"!
