Why?! Am stamping foot now.. Just when we'd all been playing so nicely..

dogsandcats · 03/05/2013 19:48

op, you are the first MNettter I have seen write "methinks", methinks obviously. Smile

MadBusLady · 03/05/2013 19:49

No, it's fair enough. It could have been a jokey fuck off but TBH it wasn't really, threads like this get on my tits. I'm not sure I do say "methinks", but I hate random judgey rules people make up in a "jokey" way, it reminds me of bullying at school

Salbertina · 03/05/2013 19:50

Fair enough. This is in AIBU though

Trigger-happy MNHQ ...

Grin. And there was me thinking you were ironically telling me to fuck off (or whatever it was).

Missed the boat as usual.
I really hate "hence".
But the other day I saw "hubsybobs" which I thought was so pukeworthy I actually liked it.

Love that list BIWI.

LadyBeagleEyes · 03/05/2013 20:06

Just Shock at hubsybobs.
That is classic, I wish I had one as I would use it all the time Grin

MardyBra · 03/05/2013 20:06

For the record, I'm not really being judgey MadBus - just trying to stir a little controversy.

Just hide the conception topic Flighty. Unless, you're -er- trying of course.

MadBusLady Permit me to soothe thy fevered brow with a libation Wine thus.

cecinestpasunepipe · 03/05/2013 20:12

And why do some MNers post on t'internet? What's wrong with the internet?

MardyBra · 03/05/2013 20:13

This is how AIBU should be:

AIBU?
Fuck off?

Ha ha.

No I meant it.

Oh well, what the fuck. Let's have Wine.

LaQueen I have no problem with sweet utterances in their rightful place. Like in text that was composed a few centuries ago.

Can you imagine Mners in the next century trying to sound twee by filling their posts with strange utterances like "totes amazeballs".
