Use of 'Twas on Mumsnet

[Puttingitoutthere]

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

Oh my days has been around for years as a 'cool expression'

'Allow it' meaning 'I can't believe you just said that' has been around for about 5 years (and doesn't get less annoying)

I don't mind most of these actually. It's like having a mumsnet accent. Maybe we are all smug twats .

Hun, hubby, bubs, girlies on the other hand. Not for me at all.

Mmm, I don't use 'twas but I do use C'mon. How does that score on the twat'o'meter?

They can all fuck off.

May I add "t'internet" and "t'interwebs" to the banned list/

I've been seeing a lot of lol recently.

Please stop lolling.

Methinks is stupid.

I am also fucked off with the overuse of amazing, I have said this on other threads, it's/he's/she's not amazing!

'C'mon' is usually the sign of a sophisticated non twatty poster.

I use 'c'mon' a lot. Naturally.

Is naturally ok?

I am guilty fuckin guilty ! I have used ' Twas, I am fessing up

I think I've also been guilty of using 'twas, on occasion.

However, I'm asserting my right to use it until MN bans the use of:

Boils my piss
Makes my teeth itch

and

Cunt.

So overused, all of them, and so dull.

'Twas ever thus' has got to be a MN expression coz I heard Justine herself use it in a TV interview once.

I hate the outbreak of "Methinks" on facebook.

E.g. Methinks a cheeky drink is in order.
E.g. Methinks an early night is called for.
E.g. Methinks Methinks Methinks

Natch we use 'twas. It's the law.

I like "just sayin' "

Just sayin...

Boils my piss? I must admit to sniggering when I read that. Had not heard that delightful expression before!

Cunt is overused here now. But 'twas (see what I did there) only used for a deserving occassion at one time.

"Methinks it's wine o'clock" is a double whammy of twattism

Does anyone actually say 'wine o'clock' in real life?

I find the increase of acronyms confusing. I had to look a few up the other day.

Hate List: sweetie, hubby, No?, Hollibobs,

Make me want to puke and I agree with you OP, 'twas fits right in there.

I can't get over that nobody has mentioned "oh no" as in

"I'm not placemarking Oh no, not me. "

I can't cope with that.

I'm not sure whether I've ever read it on MN or just Facebook, but when men describe their spouse as 'my good lady wife' it makes me angrier than almost anything else in the whole world.

at Usual actually having a Po face.

Are we still allowed to

Discuss. In thread title's makes my teeth itch. I'm not in bloody school and I'm not writing a bloody essay.

We don't need LOL on MN because we have this and this .
