Am I the only one who wish this 'naice' thing would stop.

[bluefay]

It does not look nice at all, it looks ridiculous WTF is it even about!

Isn't nom nom the little candy eating monster in Cut the Rope?

You called?

I heard it first on MN and think it's a great expression. Says such a lot.

Penis beaker

????

Ah no wasn't invented on here but has been assimilated. Nomnom I mean.

But seriously OP, 4.

Someone found a shopping list discarded in a supermarket trolley.

Amongst the list of things to buy on it, was ' naice ham'.

Could have been a typo, I guess, but was quickly adapted by MN.

I like it, it just sounds nice

I don't think it was actually on a shopping list. It was Nice Ham and fucking Eton Mess then it became "refained"

2009

Can we also get rid of handing out biscuits and strike throughs? Either use brackets or bloody say it

Okay Queen jeez

Well I've just discovered that you can't strike through a biscuit. It was worth a try.

This is for your Donkey

I can't even do it. Sorry! I take it back!

On the original shopping list thread it was nice ham

I fucking love strike through.

Hi Queenbean

Have my first ever

And I've been here for years

Do you know what I hate? DH DS DD etc. I'm often confused by the abbreviations, I never know if it's darling or dear, and I don't understand why people use it in contexts like: "my DH has been sleeping with other women"

I also hate biscuits, naice and nom nom, I didn't think penis beaker was funny, but I do remember the Pom bear thread which was hilarious, as was cutted-up pear. I don't feel the need to endlessly refer to them though.

I miss norks. No one seems to use the word since the dreaded penis beaker influx

I like the fact that MN has all its little in jokes, abbreviations etc. It makes it feel like a club, rather than just a generic chat room.

Most are from way before I joined but it didn't take me long to pick things up.

Incidentally, I put naice ham on a shopping list recently and left it in a basket in Tesco, so I'm waiting to see if a fellow MNer picks it up and posts it on here!

Ceiling cat says leave noms and nom nom alone or he will send Dr Tiny cat to investigate.

I like norks. And surely any community develops its own in-jokes? T-rexing, Sharon & her wasp, Brian from Hull, hamwidges... Some just stick around longer than others.

Could we also maybe sometimes have shits that aren't shiny? Please.

Shared slang is the mark of a community.

'naice' isn't unique to MN, though. I first came across it in Jilly Cooper books, and have always taken its meaning to be "trying too hard to be posh, tipping into poncy"

(Actually, aren't threads which complain about the language habits of MN also part of the tradition of the site? After all, they come up regularly, and never seem to make any difference. Though I do wonder why people who don't like the site stick around, as there are so many others).

I first came across naice in an R F Delderfield novel where he is describing a character's way of strangulating her vowels in order to sound upper class.
