'Twas always reminds me of Tiswas Grin

The post-ironic context has already been deconstructed by the revisionism of structuralism.
It was last night, just before Corrie.

I did read 'hub' yesterday. Shocked an adult would use that abbreviation.

MiddleAgedandConfused · 01/09/2015 16:52

Twixt?

Mrsmorton · 01/09/2015 16:54

I'd take a day of 'twas over a minute of hubs, bubs, lol and Hun. Any fucking day.

End of.

Should be shot. Slowly.

Rarity08 · 01/09/2015 16:58

Oh my days.

Stop.

ExitPursuedByABear · 01/09/2015 16:59

I like a bit of pomposity (is that a word Confused

But I am getting the rage with thread titles with the word Discuss at the end.

Fuck off. Tis not an A Level.

XCChamps · 01/09/2015 17:00

"As do I" does not endear a poster to me. I know it's perfectly correct and all that, but it makes them sound up themselves.....IMO

Pipbin · 01/09/2015 17:00

I only use it in 'twas ever thus, which is a saying or a quote.

WorraLiberty · 01/09/2015 17:00

Nothing is as bad as ending a sentence with 'non?'

Mind you, it's only bantz innit...

thehypocritesoaf · 01/09/2015 17:04

I'm a twasser.

And an occasional me-thinker.

Rarely a loller.

Could never bring myself to say 'end of'

ExitPursuedByABear · 01/09/2015 17:05

Now Rarity DD who is super cool started saying Oh My Days a couple of years ago. I used to look Confused and Hmm at her, thinking is she being quaint, but I think it had become a bit of a street expression. (in our very uncool none street neighbourhood)

Diggum · 01/09/2015 17:05

Oh god. ExP used to use 'twas. He was such a pompous twat.

Argh!

Pipbin · 01/09/2015 17:09

I can't stand when people write haha, I think I prefer lol if anything at all.

MaillotRojoPan · 01/09/2015 17:18

'we see you.'

just very very creepy.

XCChamps · 01/09/2015 17:21

When people see/write lol, do they read it as a word "lol" as in lolling about, or is it still an abbreviation for Laugh out loud. When I, very occasionally, use it, I am saying what you said made me laugh, I never say it out loud and in my head it's the full words, never the abbreviation or the "word"

Does that make me odd and do I need to stop completely?

HoneyDragon · 01/09/2015 17:22

I'm smug and pompous so can I legitimately continue Twassing?

Exit I too have noticed that. My (very cool) 14 year old dn has started saying it Confused

ExitPursuedByABear · 01/09/2015 17:24

What goes round comes round.

WorraLiberty · 01/09/2015 17:27

Blimey, I'm pretty sure they were saying 'Oh my days' when my eldest was a teenager. He's 23 now.
