To think MN is bizarre?

[hf128219]

Look at the last 39 threads and ask yourself is this normal or are people a bit silly?

Really worried about other people and their down right lack of common sense and knowledge.

I agree. Thickos.

But I will, tethers. It's my mission, for the brief moments I'm here, to make MN a Politer Place.

Hello, Cap'n!

Indeed. Tap my heed. Is hollow

Habbibu, I'd say tethers is bang on in your thread.

It's just the silly phrases like hoiking, MN royalty (wtf), aunty flo, fruit bowls, fruit shoots et al.

Fruit bowls?

Apart from MN royalty, I hear all of those in real life. And it's been like this as long as I've been here

Agent. I dont know. I am too stupid to be able to tell you!

Ha! If you think questions about cars & mortgages make internet people seem daft, you're in for a shock looking at this: www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/dumbest-things-ever-said-on-the-internet

I've never seen anyone fruit bowl on MN.

hf, look and post in different categories.
Have a look on the Full Topics list.
There is some educated stuuf going on, and perhaps you could offer more advice with peoples problems.

Oh this is just a stealthy

I think you're all sad wankers thread.

Drip fed much?

I think this thread is bizarre TBH. You either want to be on MN or you don't.

I love it being described as 'Le Pong' Tethers It brings up all the old stereotyping/rivalry between us and the Cheese Eaters.

Nobody uses 'aunty flo' do they OP? I've never seen it. They're just in jokes.

Do they make you feel a bit excluded?

Oh my, what if the OP is Sharon & we've all been rumbled?

Have a break for a month.
You will either miss it, or forget all about it.

But any group of people sharing a "speech community" of sorts for a while will develop their own terminology - I defy you to find anywhere that doesn't. I don't like some of it, but don't see why people who do should have to accommodate my tastes - why should they adhere to your rules/tastes?

I suppose it's like meeting honey bowls at the school gates and having an epiphany.

Honey bowls? Fruit bowls? WHAT?

OP I've got a good idea

Why don't you start an interesting thread and we'll all post on it?

She has - it's about the changing usage of the word bowls which is bewildering anyone over 40. Or maybe just me.

Wha'? Honey bowls? Hf, do tell....? I m here alllll the time and not a fruiting clue as to honey bowls?

I have never met a honey bowl at the school gates.

Why should the OP bother when we're all posting on her uninteresting thread worra?

Too thick to know the difference, see?

So there is a bowls thread?
