to want everyone to stop using "naice"?

It's a long running joke that really isn't funny anymore. and never was

To me it's as annoying as the phrase "did you mean to sound so rude?"

Finally "yoni" seems to have gone forever but this is lingering.

Note to anyone who uses it - it's not funny and it's certainly not original.

What the problem?

Its a piss take. There are lots of piss takes, why does that one get your goat so much?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 27/01/2014 00:06

Say what? That I'm bored? I'm not, I'm knackered and I'm going to bed.

I did think your Op made you sound like a bit of a twat though.

Sorry.

Bogeyface · 27/01/2014 00:07

Bewitched you spelt Sorry wrong.

It should be Sooooorrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee [intonation of stroppy teenager]

HTH

CouthyMow · 27/01/2014 00:08

Yoni was some weird perv asking if we wanted a 'Yoni' massage...just say minge, TSC said it best!

CouthyMow · 27/01/2014 00:09

And if I want to say 'naice' when I buy naice ham I will, provided autocorrect doesn't change it to naive like it tries to!

CouthyMow · 27/01/2014 00:10

Has someone said "did you mean to be so rude" to you, then, OP?!

AwfulMaureen · 27/01/2014 00:10

YANBU and I've been here a while under various names. I also despise "Boak" but especially "Did you mean to be so rude?" as it sounds so frigging prim and is more likely to garner a "Fuck off!" than any other phrase I can think of.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 27/01/2014 00:11

Ooooooooooooooooooooooops!

Surely it should therefore have been sooooooooooooooooooooooz!

livelablove · 27/01/2014 00:11

Its not supposed to be hilArious, just mildly amusing. As for yoni, the massage parlour in the MN village was called "only the yoni" which I did find vair funny.
One thing I don't like is not being allowed to say lol, how am I supposed to show I am joking or find something amusing eh?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 27/01/2014 00:14

AwfulMaureen · 27/01/2014 00:14

Live you show amusement like that. Surely?

As for mildly amusing...not any more! It's time to shunt those sayings out once and for all. Fuck em'.

For a time there was some shite to do with Wolefs...that buggered off..and never left a stale taste in the mouth. I didn't mind it then.

CouthyMow · 27/01/2014 00:15

And yes, YABU! Mumsnet's 'words' have usually grown out of threads that have ended up in Classics, which is well worth a look through if you can keep your sides from splitting.

Whenever I want a good laugh, I go to Classics as a standby.

For example, in my house, a plate that you keep hair bands on will always be a booble plate...

We aren't cliquey, it's just some of us that use these words have been here since the ark was built, and it's part of our shared 'experiences' of MN.

I've been here since Ellaroo's river of sweet corn, and a bit before. If those words have become part of the way I use MN, it's because they were an amusing thread I was reading at the time.

Yoni is a fairly new one, tbh.

You will end up using some 'MN' words too, in time. It happens to most of us, if you are here for long enough.

livelablove · 27/01/2014 00:18

How can a smiley be better though? Although I do like these Scottish ones or should that be scotch?

AwfulMaureen · 27/01/2014 00:18

Couthy yes, yes, but being here a long time doesn't mean that you should continue using words which have ceased to be funny. Surely it's funnier, or more amusing to keep them coming...ditching the stale ones as you go.

It's got fuck all to do with MN Classics.

Lweji · 27/01/2014 00:33

LOL is ok, just as long as you are actually LingOL or LedOL.
It's frowned upon here mostly because of people who use LOL at the end of any sentence and just for mildly amusing stuff.

I have used LOL a handful of times, when I actually did laugh out loud.

For people who were there, or who have read the threads, references such as naice remind them of the threads. And it can raise a smile years later.

I think most of the "Classic Threads" aren't funny and only generally funny if you were reading when it was actually happening.

And before I get jumped on - I said most

FloweryFeatureWall · 27/01/2014 00:36

Expressing an non sexist/racist/ageist opinion makes me a not very nice person?

Hmm don't know what my comment has to do with that verbal diarrhoea but no, it's not very naice to bother people with your opinions of the words they use. It's almost as tiresome as moaning about peoples' opinions of Kristen Stewart. Do you just trail through mumsnet trying to find things to be PO'd by?

I've seen similar threads to this and they've been taken in a lighthearted way.

Perhaps you need to put 'lighthearted' in the title in future OP. Seems it's getting that way on here these days.

Thanks Randy I actually thought I was going mad for a moment and had said something bitchy and offensive.

Shame that you have to actually state when something is suppose to be taken as lighthearted.

Creepy. Very creepy. Anyone who goes to the trouble of searching someone on here and then dragging up threads that have no relevance to the current one is very pathetic.

I wouldn't search you because

I couldn't care less.
I take people for who they are on each thread. I don't feel the need to bring up anyone else's old threads and will read their comments for what they are.

What were you trying to achieve by mentioning an entirely different thread?

OP posts:

BeverlyMoss · 27/01/2014 00:41

Bloody hell, there's a lot of this drivel around recently, isn't there?

People will post what the fuck they like really.

Do you just trail through mumsnet trying to find things to be PO'd by?

No but you obviously trail through mumsnet looking up uses and trying to use threads against them.

Perhaps I have posted too much. I'm currently off sick from work so have a lot of time on my hands. But surely you would know that after trying to dig up dirt about me and I posted about my depression.

Would you also like to use that against me? Feel free - I have not one single fuck to give.

OP posts:

Bogeyface · 27/01/2014 00:44

The reason a thread like this needs to be flagged as "lighthearted" is because your OP is anything is anything but. It is bitchy and bossy, which is why no one thought it was funny.

FloweryFeatureWall · 27/01/2014 00:45

Silly billy. I didn't search your threads. I read it when you posted, commented on it under my old nickname and remembered your name. I thought it was funny to complain about people's comments about people not smiling when your name referred to not smiling too. Oh god shoot me because it stuck in my head

But yes if it helps fulfil your little stalking fantasy, feel free to imagine I'm sat searching you right now

PedlarsSpanner · 27/01/2014 00:46

I am sorry to hear you are off work atm. Depression sucks big ones.

It wasn't suppose to be funny Bogey

Bitchy and bossy?

Goodness some people are getting their knickers in a twist aren't they.
