to ask the MNers who say "methinks" to desist?

[MardyBra]

It makes you sound prattish. Just saying.

Oh agree with all of this. And adding 'Twas..'.

Nobody says Twas.

What about putting "light-hearted" in the thread title? It's somewhat annoying, but at least it (hopefully) avoids accusations of fascism.

I keep seeing it recently SPs (please don't start).

Unless it's the night before Christmas Chewing.

Methinks twas amazeballs.

^ best sentence ever?

So youthinks people should desist? Unreasonable methinks

I'll make an allowance for Christmas. That's one Twas a year.

The only time I've been genuinely annoyed by a turn of phrase, or what was actually an unforgivable splicing of two of my least favourites, was when a call centre person said "Bear with myself please". My eyes rolled so much I saw my cerebellum.

Bloody hell Shatners.

I saw "doggy dog world" on a thread earlier. That made me .

I love doggy dog world! I wonder what they thought it meant

Oh it is horrible. I am so glad you said this though I'll have to hide the thread as I can't bear to see the word.

It reminds me of being about 16 and thinking we were cool

I think we stopped saying it by the time we were 17

any other Shakespearean weirdness you can have back as well.

OH and can people please stop saying the thing about being sick in their mouth, or a little bit of wee and all that. It makes me want to be sick, actually.

thanking you

Invoking Tee's Rules of Mumsnet, Number 2,000, Section 15a, Subsection QQ, SP must leave MN immediately and never return for using the word "amazeballs".

Thank you

I completely agree Rooney. And, no, some of you are not actually spitting on your keyboards.

Nobody says Twas.

I do. I find it frightfully amusing. But then, I also say "frightfully". Sometimes I even say methinks in actual RL conversations.

People quite often give me a look.

Are you actually Alan Partridge, Sonia?

No-one ever gives a Hey Nonny Nonny though. I think it's high time it made a reappearance (whatever it means)

I'm not a big fan of indeedy.

But methinks is okak, just an extension of meths, which is all good, fir some people, non?

And as for this business of finishing a sentence in "non". What's that all about?

Yanbu. I think it's a really twee word. That and t'was. I do like the word twattish.

Personally I think we should resort to this a little more often thou frothy flap mouthed harpy.

Oh god 'non' is tooth grindingly annoying.

So youthinks tis mispeaking to say methinks?

Infactly, you are indubidobedoobidly correctidge.

Are you actually Alan Partridge, Sonia?

I don't think so.

No, definitely not.
