to think netmums should have an acronym gossary?

[cornishmaia]

Apologies if there already is one but I haven't found it. Quite a few acronyms I know/can figure out but there are some ones that no matter how long I think, I just can't figure out what they stand for. AIBU (I know that one!) to think a glossary would be helpful? (Feel free to just say what they all mean for me)

I fucking love this thread! OP you're already a legend this made me chuckle !

This thread is mean. You'd never get this on netmums hun.

Netmums wouldn't let me join so I ended up here. Thank fuck

Welcome to the...dark side OP. BA BA BAAAAAA!

I came here from babycentre if you think netmums is saccharine, you would not be able to handle that place. No swearing, no controversial opinions, just undiluted 24/7 sisterly love and support.
Made me want to puke, so I'm here! Love it

I've just clicked on the link in regards to the acronyms in NM. In that thread the OP called it MumsNet, but only got one reply and that was just the list of acronyms and their meaning. That goes to show how much better it is over here after the fun we have had regarding this thread.

I never realised mumsnet was netmums in reverse...I'm not the only stupid one right??

Yea, ths iz mean. Only stupid ppl use swear words as there vocabilary is 2 small.

Ur baby ur rulz hun xxx

Oh Stupidly...

I accidently trampled a quiche in Tesco if that counts but it was really made better by the fact that the offending foot slid forwards resulting in a clumsy effort at the splits

Come on, fair dues. Their duck pouting, posing photo avatars are very amusing.

My all time favourite description of the difference between NH and MN is that over here, it's more acceptable to say "cunt" than "hubby"

I was on NetHuns before I discovered the light. Too much baby dust and "is this positive or evap". And quite frankly a website for adults that filters out swearing (including "bloody" and "frig") makes me slightly uneasy!

Bt seriously Hun if u eva need a chat or sum babydust jst holla. Hugz. Xxxxxx

(Make shift ticker entirely inaccurate - I have 1 son and am pregnant. Not that you shouty sweary mumsnetters would care

I often trawl the huns and am rather surprised at the contempt most posters have for social services or social scumbags as they call them < without sanction >

Ah well, it's not like it's the first time mumsnet and netmums have been mixed up

"Obviously the other site is inferior as i have never heard of it. ( niiiice mumsnetters, caaalm mumsnetters)"

Ohhh cornishmaia - I think I love you already! That made me laugh out loud.

I think you are going to fit right in here.

I just had a look at Netmums. Once my eyes had adjusted to the glare, the first thread I looked at contained "lol" "hun" and "little angels". And almost every post ended in "xxx".
The "lol" used in place of a period was enough to put me off...

And they all refer to themselves as 'mummy' which I find irrationally infuriating, especially the ubiquitous, 'Any other mummy's [sic] with the same problem? xx'

I would like to suggest UNUBHX

= U no yr bubz Hun xxx

My all time favourite description of the difference between NH and MN is that over here, it's more acceptable to say "cunt" than "hubby"

Why why why would anyone ever use the word 'hubby'? What place could it possibly have in polite society?!

Probably within the same social circles that call their female friends 'wifey'.

And sit. Good dog.

Thanks OP. I have had a bugger of a day and this thread has made me LOL.

Hugz. Xxxxx :)

I do like the owls on netmums, though. Totes want some of them around here.
