Dilemmas involving texting tattoos to married men? BFFs? Angry Facebook defriendings? Lolling?!

I saw a lol in a thread title the other day and it made me lol Hun xxx

LifeOfPee · 05/12/2013 23:03

Don't worry.

"Another time-wasting literary quiz!!!"

This thread title was in active convos at the same time as yours.

Nuff said.

I saw the term babydancing written here just this week, here on MN, in black and white.

Erk! I think there's a glitch in the matrix or summat.

Shagging period, in the hope of conceiving.

Without change things stagnate. It will right itself again.

Onesleeptillwembley · 05/12/2013 23:18

There's also a few 'bubba's' creeping in. Who the hell used that term?

Onesleeptillwembley · 05/12/2013 23:19

Oops. And 'bubs'.

ICameOnTheJitney · 05/12/2013 23:19

And a few "lo's" As in "My LO is 4 next week."

HereIsMee · 05/12/2013 23:19

Lol

GobbySadcase · 05/12/2013 23:19

Nah.
Still too bitchy.

LineRunner · 05/12/2013 23:21

And if you don't like the answers you get on a thread you shittily started yourself expecting a bitch-in about the poor woman who gave birth to your husband, then you just name change a couple of times and go bleating to HQ and get it deleted. Boo fucking hoo.

MardyBra · 05/12/2013 23:21

Gobby.

I don't think it's bitchy enough. MN used to be a lot funnier and bitchier. That's why I liked it. Any poster who doesn't follow the party line gets jumped on now and it's all a bit meh imo.

AlexReidsLonelyBraincell · 05/12/2013 23:28

I think that's where I saw it Linerunner it was babydancing, or babydustxxxxxxxxx. One of the sock friends names anyway.
Both terms make me feel a bit sick.

Onesleeptillwembley · 05/12/2013 23:31

Obviously there's a lot more going on here than the obvious OP. what's the story?

LineRunner · 05/12/2013 23:33

Oh I'm just being grouchy about someone who actually thought they were on NetMums (apparently) when they were on AIBU.

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 05/12/2013 23:35

Ive noticed lots of 'hubbys' about. I dont like it. Reminds me of RL people who say it

Ah, Ok, grouch away. Lol (Sorry, couldn't resist).

FuckyNell · 05/12/2013 23:38

I hope it fucking does not become like the other one. Cunt fuck bollocks.

LineRunner · 05/12/2013 23:40

Hubby is one of the wrongest words on the planet.

And when did it stop being o.k to use this forum to release a little bit of simmering rage by telling someone about themselves and being a bit sneery?

Isn't that o.k anymore?

LambinsideaDuckinsideaTrout · 05/12/2013 23:50

No judging allowed anymore. It's flameworthy. FFS.

LineRunner · 05/12/2013 23:53

It's gone from CuntNet to fluffy fucking glitter these past few months.

MardyBra · 05/12/2013 23:54

The fishy one (for those who remember that far back) would be kicked out as a troll for a lot of her old threads these days. Whilst I think she could go too far on occasions, many of her threads were very entertaining.
