Stop with the daft made up words.

[eofa1]

Somebody judging you is not being judgy. They are not a judgy-pants. An actual real word exists for what you're trying to say, and it doesn't take much longer to type. JUDGEMENTAL, people. As in "I am judgemental towards people who use cringe-inducing phraseology."

(To me anyway) there's a huge difference between 'judgy pants' & gawjus. One is 'in joke' phraseology the other is just a ridiculous spelling of a common word. Judgey or judgy pants is fine :) Gawjus is not

This is how languages evolve and Mumsnetters are influential, judgypants will be in the next OED, mark my words.

Oh and you might like to stop being such a Bossy Britches

how many sleeps til Christmas

Dench, LF, dench

Luffly and stabby are just so fucking embarrassing.

Shakespeare made up lots of words. Was he BU?

Oh no. Ffs this is an informal forum where people like to type conversationally. I like made up words, they're fun and expressive, and after all, this is not an English exam!

are you going on hollybobs next year?

Look here is a list of made of shakespearean words currently in common use

Oddly one of them is pedant.

So are these words real or invented on MN?

( cos I hadn't heard them before..)

Mansplaining
Norks
Boak

The key to using language is to be innovative and evocative.

To me, "judgey pants" packs a bigger punch than a mere "judgmental". There is "hoiking" implied.

This thread is rather discombombulating!

My boiler has an "Allday" setting display

I would never have the heating on all day but I have to scroll past it to get to option I need.

If only one could de-friend one's boiler.

Humour failure, much.

Scarlet I'm note sure, but does it matter?

boak/boke is Scottish for dry heave
nork, seen elsewhere
mansplaining I saw on a feminsit site yonks ago

I like mansplaining. My current hate word is "selfie", though. Twee and silly, people! What's wrong with "self-portrait" that grown adults want to take up an idiotic-sounding teenage slang term? Pfffft.

Norks and boak are definitely pre-mn. Never heard of mansplaining.

Chillax is vile.

Sleeps is ridiculous for anyone aged 12-plus.

Lolz: oh, dear...

Norks is apparently Australian slang. Also, having googled it, I've discovered there is a village* in Surrey called Nork. This makes me very happy.

*Well, more an area in the conurbation of Banstead.

mansplain is not a MN term.

Sleeps and naice are awful.

Judgy Pants and judgemental both have their place.

In the more serious discussions It could be trivialisling the issues to use judgey pants.

In others, it's fine. One recent post referred to a mother with whom the poster had already had a run in as " stood there, massive huge judgy pants hoiked to her armpits" which is just good comic writing.

" stood there, massive huge judgy pants hoiked to her armpits"

Sorry, it's so overused, it's a cliché now.
