"clutches pearls" IS NOT FUCKING FUNNY

sorry. really had to get that off my chest, seen it on way too many on threads today.

Please join me with your shouty rants if you like. I shall not be clutching pearls, hoiking bosoms or doing any other off camera faux amusing movements. I'm just sitting here...typing.

OoOOOOh put your handbag down Wink

YANBU.

Although perhap you are, discussions would not be so entertaining if people simply put "I think you're typing too rapidly".

Calm down dear :)

I agree OP, it reminds me of people on the outside of a friendship group declaring 'I'm mad I am' to try and make themselves the life and soul. Really try hard and unnecessary especially when I'd bet the vast vast majority of posters on here have never met, trying to become the in crowd and be part of in jokes when you never even really know who you are talking to is just a bit wierd.

I need to know how far this thing goes before I sign up!

Is it meant to be funny?

I thought it was just a general phrase that a lot of people use now, to describe the easily shocked/offended?

As long as I'm not asked to walk in anyone's shoes I don't mind.

aldiwhore · 15/02/2013 14:51

What size are you atthewelles?

YouTheCat · 15/02/2013 14:52

Atthewelles, exactly. I don't wish to walk a mile in my own shoes, let alone someone else's. Grin
