Have you ever received a really strange response to a post on here?

I remember about a year ago posting about someone at work who talked constantly about her child, on and on and was I being unreasonable to find it a bit very annoying. I got the usual mix of YABU, YANBU, all perfectly logical responses. Then someone posted 'YABU. Maybe she's nervous', disappeared and never posted again on the thread Confused.

Just wondering what odd or illogical responses you've had to posts on here?

I needed to get rid of my sidebollocks somehow.

bendydickcumonmybaps · 09/10/2014 21:11

I named nobody by the way....just relayed my experience.

HoldenMcGroin · 09/10/2014 21:14

It's fine bendy, Mintyy outed herself, she's quite sanguine I'm sure.

wooooosualsuspect · 09/10/2014 21:18

It's not fine IMO.

It's not fine to discuss another poster who can easily identify herself.

I thought usual's nickname was in honour of the new Woo board?

bendydickcumonmybaps · 09/10/2014 21:25

I expect a few people on this thread can identify themselves from a comment.

HappyYoni · 09/10/2014 21:34

I love that word sanguine

Mintyy · 09/10/2014 21:36

I am guilty of using the word sanguine far too often.

wooooosualsuspect · 09/10/2014 21:39

It was in honour of the new woo board. But the new woo board is a bit deserted.

I expect they can, bendy. Which is why this is a shit thread.

I don't say it nearly enough. It's on my list of words that I should use more.

HappyYoni · 09/10/2014 21:42

I was wabbling on about mores and praxis earlier, so think self lucky, StickEm. Grin

HappyYoni · 09/10/2014 21:47

I've only really taken it on board this year, and that's only because I've been collecting words. It's a lovely word.

Pagwatch · 09/10/2014 21:47

I love sanguine and I like disingenuous. I also don't think mintyy is prickly at all.

HappyYoni · 09/10/2014 21:52

I don't think so either.
Would you like to know my very favourite word?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 09/10/2014 22:32

I have never, to my knowledge, wabbled, Holden - as demonstrated by the fact that my iPad didn't even recognise it, and corrected it to the far more boring and pedestrian wobbled. I shall be having a go at wabbling not wibbling, bloody autocorrect as soon as possible.

Writing this post has been stressful. The iPad tried to autocorrect wabbling to wobbling, the first time I used it, then corrected it differently the second time from wabbling to wibbling. And when I tried to type wibbling, it autocorrected it to wabbling. And now my brain is dribbling out of my ears, and I think I saw my last marble roll away.

Mintyy · 09/10/2014 22:42

I really really want to know your favourite word HappyYoni ... please do tell

HappyYoni · 09/10/2014 22:46

Oh thank Christ! I've been busting to tell Grin

Phantasmagoria

It's just such a beautiful word. Phantasmagoria.

Might check out the libel thread!

HoldenMcGroin · 09/10/2014 22:47

HoldenMcGroin · 09/10/2014 22:48

HappyYoni · 09/10/2014 22:50

Go on there's, what's yours Holden?

HoldenMcGroin · 09/10/2014 23:10

A toss-up tween plinth and plethora
