There are lols and huns creeping in.

And some of you aren't fucking swearing enough!

That's the other problem with MN at the moment. You can't have a good friendly rant sometimes.

Clipped I think you meant 'that' and pedants, not pendants .

I PSMS (pissed myself sneezing) this morning.

Twas like doorstep incontinence except I was on the way to the loo (downstairs) and felt a sneeze coming on halfway down.

Is that TMI?

x posted with Tweasels and loads of others.

That'll teach me to stop MN'ing in order to do some work.

ClippedPhoenix · 18/01/2013 18:17

Actually can I add an important point to my OP?

AIBU to think that some posters should lighten up and develop a sense of fun and irony?

OP posts:
TapselteerieO · 18/01/2013 18:29

Surely it is a shower of cunts.

Tweasels · 18/01/2013 18:29

Of course standards are fucking slipping - have you seen how icy it is out there!? Hun. Lol. Ugh.

DoodlesNoodles · 18/01/2013 19:05

lol , hun and swearing

thx huns

RandallPinkFloyd · 18/01/2013 19:06

My friend told me extraneous exclamation marks are the jazz hands of the written word.

I quite like an ironic lol, and I love a well placed soz. Can't imagine anyone over the age of 17 uses them in a non-ironic way.

I rarely actually lol at something written. I normally just blow the air out of my nose with a bit more force.

wigglesrock · 18/01/2013 19:11

I apologise - it was below the belt [phnar phnar]

MadBusLady · 18/01/2013 19:13

Don't look at me, I even fucking swear in Baby Names.

Why IS it that some people take Baby Names UNBEARABLY personally, by the way?

MardyBraWouldDoEddieRedmayne · 18/01/2013 19:13

I like jazz hands.

I feel that multiple exclamation marks are more an indicator of someone who would have a "Baby on Board" (or worse "Powered by Fairy Dust") sign in their car.

OH I LUVS A JAZZ HAND !!!!!

MadBusLady · 18/01/2013 19:15

Didn't we have it out about bleddy and fecking though and they're a bit accent related? "Fecking" is certainly taken to mean exactly the same as fucking IME.

SpicyPear · 18/01/2013 19:17

Ur thread ur rules hun. Hugz mardy. Lol.

IamtheZombie · 18/01/2013 19:17

Zombie's standards haven't slipped. She spells words out in full and posts in complete sentences.

It's probably better if she doesn't reveal Zombie bodily function mis-functions.

She's also highly annoying in her posting style.
