Use of 'Twas on Mumsnet

[Puttingitoutthere]

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

Tis true

Arghggh what did I say?

There are people in my area who use twas as usual language and have never said anything else.
Old men say twas going up yonder.
I live Lancs/ GM

Usual. had a double take at your use of the word honey then realised you were addressing honeydragon [phew]

Hun has to be the word that really boils my piss. Closely followed by babes/((((((hugs))))))

My username causes much offence on here when abbreviated

Usual, it's not your age. It's them. that's what I keep telling myself anyway

I am going to use 'really boils my piss' at every given opportunity.

Naturellement I am skilled in the use of faux frenchy lingo which I am sure is tres annoyant

mwa haha

I luffs 'Twas.
luffs it, I do.

Luffs LUFFS LUFFS

It's LUFFLY

Oh yes tres

Arf

Lot of frothing round here lately, maybe they're escapees from the daily mail comments section.

He's a narcissist, entitled, controlling, gaslighting. He is no longer your friend. He. Is. Not. On. Your. Team.

He's minimising and rewriting history. It's emotional abuse and you need to do the Freedom Programme. For me it's a deal-breaker, get some counselling, go 'NC'.

Photocopy bank statements and his payslips. Hide the children's passports. Get a SHL, then LTB.

Detach x3. Ignore x3. Then just keep on keeping on and fake it til you make it.

It's the Mumsnet way.

And stop saying, "you know". Because, you know, it's annoying and vair twatish.

Hey can we have a rabid emoticon? I'd use that a lot, a little face with a foamy mouth, though, come to think of it, it might look a bit like father christmas without the hat.

Someone say rabbid?

yay!

The only Wii game worth playing.

I can't even.

I think it's more twee than smug. Methinks sounds like something a character in Rentaghost would have said in 1986.

Oh gawd, I can never speak again. My entire vocab will piss people off.
Yay!

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

It was a saying long before MN.
