... to ask if MN has a grumpy 'old' women topic?

I know there is pedants corner but I was wondering if there was anywhere where like minded people who want to complain about words like amazeballs, and other grumpy things can go and be grumpy without being told to get a life?

I'm in.
'Guys' ( bloody hate that)
I would love a safe space to moan.
I can't in AiBu as far too scared and its turned into a frightening place recently.
I can't moan at home and I can't out loud outside as Iive in a small village.
Can we nudge MN Towers?

ArgyMargy · 10/11/2014 18:09

Is that not what the Sweary threads (current one seems to be called Sweaty) are about?

I'm in anyway. Grump on!

chockbic · 10/11/2014 18:10

Sounds perfect to me.

There's so much to grump about.

Pipbin · 10/11/2014 18:12

I don't know the sweaty threads.

I would like a proper real corner.

Go MN, you know you want to.

Oh I want a section like this!! I vote for it to be called "Back in my day..."

Grumpyoldblonde · 10/11/2014 18:13

I wont stop moaning until we get a grumbly corner

Poopooplop · 10/11/2014 18:14

I am in total agreement. I'm loving the "agree or fuck off". And can we actually have a "fuck off" button?

Hullabalooey · 10/11/2014 18:17

Twas only saying the other day to my DH that I felt I was now of an age to fully embrace the Grumpy Old Woman persona. But I've now forgotten what it was I was moaning about! Grin

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 10/11/2014 18:17

No more fucking buttons! I am sick to death of all of the share buttons and the excessive amounts of smiley faces. Back in my day we had 10 smileys and now we have stupid wine glasses and coffee mugs and flowers. Arrghh.

Pipbin · 10/11/2014 18:18

Come on MNHQ, you know you want to.

How do we ask?

We could call it, 'agree or fuck off'.

chockbic · 10/11/2014 18:18

I've got two lots of flowers in my list.

It isn't cheering me up.

ginslinger · 10/11/2014 18:20

Oh Annie Wine ThanksCakeFlowersBrew

Poopooplop · 10/11/2014 18:21

We could call it "Am I being unrea... Actually screw off or agree with me "

ginslinger · 10/11/2014 18:21

Sorry Annie - i shall star an AIBU thread about my behaviour

chockbic · 10/11/2014 18:22

There's no gin in the list Wine Brew?

Fuckerysmuckeryboilsnspornery · 10/11/2014 18:22

Umm, you could always come over to the dark side sweary thread. Whinge, whine, stamp your feet, swear (a lot) and never ever any reporting.
Tis CATHARCTIC to say the least. (Dunno why the random shout)

HicDraconis · 10/11/2014 18:22

What a bloody good idea. Have reported OP / thread to MN with a request that they create it - I'd be completely at home in a grumpy corner.

The grumpy emoticon could be a purple annoyed face.

Wishtoremainunknown · 10/11/2014 18:22

I'm in. I'm 26 and twitched at the mere mention of upcycling.

Sorry x post with Margy. (We aren't sweaty-just fat fingered)

duchesse · 10/11/2014 18:24

A GOW topic would be my natural constituency. nom nom >kills self>

BrendaBlackhead · 10/11/2014 18:25

Flippin' hate the John Lewis ad. So cynical. Give me the Iceland ads any day, or Morrisons. And, what I really, really, want is the WOOLIES ad back again. Now, that was when Christmas really started back in t'olden days.

AnnieOnAMapleLeaf · 10/11/2014 18:25

ginslinger you are lucky that I also despise stage direction posts (i.e. ) otherwise you would be in a world of trouble. Suffice it to say that you are now on my shit-list - worry not, there are numerous people there to keep you company. Wink

Poopooplop · 10/11/2014 18:26

I might consider the sweary one! I thought it was a secret club.
