To be very annoyed when people write N'aw'

[Glastogirl]

Surely it's just 'aww', where does the N come from???!

I've never heard anyone write it like this until recently and now everyone seems to be doing it!

Why???

Naw means 'no' where I come from.

It's definitely meant as 'aww' in these circumstances!

another one who'd say it was no.

n'aw? instead of aww? don't get it, sorry.

I would say abbreviation of "and all"

I'd have though it meant no as well. I've heard people say na-ahh (best I can write it how it sounds) & nah for no. And naw as well.

I have seen it used as 'aww'. It's a bit n'irritatiting, but nothing I'd get my knickers in a twist about.

Would this be a Facebook-type thing?

I've never seen it but I expect it would mildly irritate me if I did.

It is a Facebook type thing Salmotrutta

In scotland it's 'naw' and means 'no'. As in 'aw naw' - oh no.

Or in Scotland you might say an' aw.

Meaning and all or everything.

Is it this use that is getting abbreviated? To n'aw

An' aw in Scotland means 'as well as' eg 'get some bread and you better get buy some butter an' aw'

Ie dialect!

N'awww sound a tittish, twee social media invention...

But I must protest!

In Scots "all" becomes a' and "and" is 'N so therefore "And all" for as well should really be written as :-

'N a'

See?

P.s. - I'm running away now

Homer Simpson goes "d'oh". I don't know why that is either.
