Use of 'Twas on Mumsnet

[Puttingitoutthere]

It makes me cringe. I find it smug. AIBU?

Twisn't smug at all.

I can't be doing with all the "methinks" stuff either, although that seems to have calmed down recently.

'Twas ever thus.

In first. So proud.

Twas ever thus
Twasn't twaddle
Twain't a problem

SMUUUUUUUUUUUG

Methinks MephistophelesApprentice deserves a pat on the back

Meph you beat me! That'll teach my smuggery

Is there a Christmas Eve reprieve on the use of 'Twas?

Tis.

Tisn't

YANBU.

May I also add

Ergo

Not as bad as bloody biscuits. Fuck off handing out biscuits.

Show me someone who uses "Methinks" and I'll show you a twat.

I'm sure I've seen MNHQ using "methinks" Jeeves!

Dp says he has "erred". I tell him he sounds pompous.

I use methinks and 'twas in a post modern ironic way - is that ok?

Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

I have never seen 'Twas on Mumsnet' after nearly 4 years service here.

Sorry Hopping. The post modern irony doesn't radiate though the internet. I'd just assume you were just failing at irony.

Hoppinggreen - no it's not ok. Please desist.

Maybe you could use them in a post post-modern ironic context?
