to shout at the pearl clutchers

[coraltoes]

"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.

No one is allowed to be told about BESH unless they go in there. And unless you have need of going in, then you wouldn't want to anyway

Actually, it's Barren Evil Selfish Hags, those awful career 30-something career women so beloved of Liz Jones and her ilk, who have been so monstrously selfish as to wait until they're in their 30s before TTC and then encounter difficulties.

Do we still use that one?

Your teenagers are doing it wrong.

writes on fb like this

If someone uses creepy wee brackets on FB, I know they are a Mnetter.

oops

like this

unintentional bold there

None of those expressions annoy me.
It's just MN speak isn't it?
Utterly harmless and makes a point without being nasty.

Seriously Ariel? Posters on here use that expression? God, some people are vile.

oh Besh dont sound so bad?

what is 4 code for?

"Marking my place", "marking my spot", "." It all gives me "the rage" too.

atthewelles i think they call themselves that...ironic thing

I'll tell all the teenagers I know that they are wrong then

Some expressions annoy me, but all forums have their own phrases etc.

It doesn't mean you want to be in with the in crowd.

oooh i'm a BESH

who knew?

except i'm not TTC

and i fecking love creepy wee brackets, so nerr

'makes me teeth itch' is sooooo descriptive though

and things like 'quiche' aren't exclusive to MN, i've been excluded from seen them on other sites too

All the teenagers I know use this

No no. The BESH called themselves it. It's irony innit. And I can say that with perfect justification, because I am one myself.

Oh I see. I shall stop clutching my pearls then and change out of my judgey pants .

I can't really remember, but think 4 was the same as a .

Each to their own.

I clutched my pearls today. It was strangely comforting. Everyone should do it.

I thought "4" is a way of referring to the above post, without drawing attention to yourself / quoting someone else / answering a question without saying it.

For instance, someone will ask:
what happened to such and such?

such and such, under a name change, says that that poster is still around but under a name change

next poster puts "4" as a marker to the above post to answer the question.

I love a good bosom hoik

I've never seen 4.

I've seen 7. It was very graphic.

I've seen 12 Angry Men

Am I the only wanker who uses creepy wee brackets and strikethroughs in emails?

I would love to be able to use strike through in everyday life but only can find it on MN.

It can be so wonderfully PA.
