To not like the sudden increase in hun-ing on here?

[ForgetfulNameChanger]

I love mumsnet for the fact it isn't all huggy huggy kiss kiss hun babez x x x rant over end of!

But I'm seeing it slowly creeping in and I'm not liking it.

AIBU?

hmmm so xx is not ok?

or is ok on support thread?

at h.u.numpty

Horrendous
Uber
Nob

ooo I prefer Callmedreckly's one better.

I have been known to put a 'x' on a support thread where someone really needs a hug. However I do not smooch indiscriminately.

Zing Aw thx hunni, that was just what I needed xxx

fluckered so does 'make my teeth itch' make your teeth itch?

Forgetful but my ticker would say something along the lines of

[fuckcuntbadgersODFOD]

so wouldn't that be ok (hun)?

What's the difference between sending a Mumsnet sanctioned bunch of flowers/wine/tea icon and a couple of supportive xx's or a "Hun".
Seriously. Get over it.

lol Wilson yeah it does.

AlwaysWashing cos thems the rules! hun! (see? now ye don't know if I am using it a light fluffy way or of I just called ye a horrendous uber nob)

I can live with being a horrendous uber nob fluckered

good answer!!!

Actually a great thread cos now we've all got a secret, sly insult to throw in when we're having a passive/aggressive moment! Clever stuff.

it is not as bad as people putting state verbs into the continuous to be honest, hun xx

I disagree, bq. It is much worse than that.

what's BRB?

YANBU OP. It aggravates the ghost of my ulcer and makes me want to stab the cunt that used it. And they can take their kisses and fuck off. If I wanted to see slobbering kisses online, I'd fuck off to FB.

YABU Hun

I have never actually seen someone use the word Hun on MN in a serious way

Can't say I can see the issue of "hun" or x or similar stuff :P Can still use these words and have proper grammar! :) I'd rather people try to be friendly, than bitchy!

Ill talk how I wish to talk. Write how I wish to write. That's because there's freedom on the Internet to do so.

If I wish to hug or x I will. There's f all you can do about it. When you are elected head of censorship ill listen. Not before.

I saw somebody do that (((((((soft hugs)))))) thing the other day on a thread in an apparently completely sincere fashion. If it had been possible to crawl down the internet, find them, and pound their knuckles with a hammer one by one until they could no longer type, I would have done it.

I'm pretty sure I've mostly seen 'hun' or 'xxx' used when someone is actually having a sly hint that All Is Not As It Seems. It makes me laugh, anyway.

The Hun and kisses thing occurs most on conception and pregnancy threads I think. But it would be horrible to point it out there.

Oh god that (((soft hugs))) thing actually makes my skin crawl. Urrrrrrgh. If you insist on hugging me, make it a proper backslapping bear hug. It's like featherystroke men . Yy to all the 'wifey' bollocks too. Everyone on my fb has started doing that. I may have to kill them all.

Completely up to individual posters to post in any style they wish!

YY hellsbells. If someone gave me a soft hug in real life, I would assume they were trying to Claim Me for Jesus or some shit. Hug me properly, or fuck off.
