To find the term 'unmumsnetty hug' absurdly irritating?

[justfivemoreminutes1]

1. It is used with such frequency that said hug cannot, by definition, be 'unmumsnetty'

1. It's just so ANNOYING! Why not just say 'sending you a hug'?!

Rant over. I feel better already.

I agree. I don't know why people feel they have to say it.

YANBU. No need to say it.

Why is a hug felt to not be mumsnetty?

I cannot bear it when people say that.

I have often wondered the same thing eggy!

It is very irritating. Much, much more irritating than just saying 'hug'

I mean really, I have just been handed a pair of virtual bollocks on another thread. Surely it's not too much of a stretch that we can virtually hug one another if the occasion merits it

It bugs me too.

Completely agree. They are so ubiquitous that they are very very mumsnetty.

I think hugs are fine.
Not hugz hun!

It's kind of a jokey thing really and meant in a nice way and that it's a genuine hug, refers to the other parenting site and the over usage of hugs and xxxxx

I don't even know what it means. Most of the weird language on here IYSWIM DD MIL LTB etc irritates the shit out of me. I can't see why we can't just use the beautiful English language to communicate to each other.

I'm sorry you're irritated. Have an unmumsnetty hug (or two) xx

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's just a bit of an MN joke. Loads of things on MN are way more irritating than the way people use acronyms and the way they post TBH.

Doesn't bother me at all.

Unmumsnetty is also hard to type.

Maybe we could come up with the another natty acronym for it?

Unmnh?

Brave, quivering chin, defiant hugs that I'm sending you even though I will be roundly thrashed for it for being too twee?
No, that's a bit long.

It's just an in joke. Part of being part of a gang. It's funny. Let's not worry about it.

Ah, thank you for saying 'natty' passme. I haven't heard that for years, my nan used to say it. That's made me smile now

YANBU. It reminds me of a saying my DS's therapist had - it 'was funny once'. So once in about 2006 it was a tiny bit clever and ironic, but now it's just being a sheep and writing it because you've seen other people write it. Stop it now!

A shall another you in my compassionate bosom in a hug which flies in the face of the mumsnet zeitgeist
