to think you lot have ruined me

Facebook related moan warning

Since I've joined mn I can no longer ignore all the yummy mummy posts, the Huns xx , the calling all mummies etc...

You lot have ruined it all. Now when I see them, I can feel my teeth grind just a little.

Nearly every post contains one of the above (sobs)

Bring back my ignorance!!

Oh I'd forgotten about spide and steek! I still live in NI but haven't needed those words since school!

I just find it funny tbh

esp the Jezza dirty laundry airers

free entertainment innit

Am I the only one surprised at the amount of Italian Americans here?

*definitely gonna be racist now

I always thought 'hun' was an abbreviation of 'honey'

Whether or not it's racist exactly, it is a bit snobby to proclaim so loudly that certain ways of expressing yourself are so distasteful to you.

I wouldn't admit to thinking these things in real life! but then in real life it's all a lot less abstract, so when I get hunned on my fb wall it's always associated with a real life person whom I recognise as reaching out to me in a friendly way, so it seems sweet

To be honest the 1st time I started to hate "hun" was when I was online dating. I'd get a msg from a man calling me "hun" and I'd delete it...I hate/d being called it by a man, women less so especially when they're being kind, but when I found MN and read others didn't like the word I felt like I'd come home!

To me it's too overly familiar. If my DH, mum, dad, brother, best friend called me it then fine.

greenhill its an abbreviation of hunni. There's one woman on my fb who calls everyone hunni and tags them in every fecking comment. Example
Status: can't believe my poor prince is all poorly sick.

Comment: aww hope he's better soon
Reply: thanx hunni [insert name]
Comment: get well soon little man
Reply: hope he does hunni [insert name] hate seeing him so unwell might have to go a and e
Comment: why what's wrong?
Reply: he's really snotty [insert name] hunni.

Poor OP.

Could you not work out for yourself which words and phrases annoyed you?

Did you have to wait for Mumsnetters to tell you what to think, and who is worth your time and respect?

Oh yes saga when someone a man I don't know calls me Hun it makes my skin crawl for some reason. If someone I love does it I still don't like the word but it doesn't make me like the person any less iyswim.

Lmao could you be any more sarcastic?!

No they always bothered me but I managed to blank them. Now its everywhere

I was also going to mention the "still awake" ones.
Well if you put your feckin phone down, or better still, don't have it in your bedroom at all, then you might get some sleep.
Have resisted posting that but have nearly twitched a few times!

The WORST: 'Repost this if you care about childhood cancer/suicide/domestic violence. If I see your name I'll know you really care as much as I do.'

I hope you'll understand if you see my name disappear from your friend list.

Can't remember who asked but a spoony fucker is a person who comes along when you are cooking and stirs the pot and tastes it and then just casually adds another ingredients and changes what you were cooking without a by your leave.

It was a thread where someone was complaining about her husband doing it and the phrase was born when other people came to complain about their spoony fuckers or admit they were spoony fuckers.

I am a spoony fucker

Also, a fan is sporn which is a term I have only ever seen on MN.

I lived with spoony fuckers at uni! Putting ketchup into things like chilli or bolognaise. That I was cooking. Knowing that I really hate ketchup.

The problem I have with hun (apart from now knowing the NI meaning) is that it usually comes when someone is actually patronising you / cancelling on you or saying something you won't like. So it's like a put down.

I know someone who is guilty of my 3 pet hates on FB.

1 Vague attention seeking posts (as above)
2 Nauseating posts every single god dam day about how much she loves her kids and how they make her proud every day.
3 Even more nauseating posts saying how much she loves her husband and then how much he loves her. Just speak to each other and not plaster it all over FB.

There's a meme doing the rounds about no. 3: 'The best sign of a healthy relationship is no sign of it on Facebook'

I have done the awake post, i had been lying in bed for 2 hours trying really hard to sleep, in pitch black devices turned off.
Got bored got facebook out to entertain me for a while at 2am.

I hun all the time and I'm not attention seeking, its just a word. Yabvu, hun and possibly a bit racist as its part of some cultures to use that term of endearment.

Thank you!

That post has made my morning. I don't know how I missed it yesterday!

Whenever I see the word "hun" on FB I always want to post "But I am neither German nor called Attila". But then I get over myself, have a and consider the merits of defriending them instead.

Innit, Inuit! Aaaargh. #no hun, just no# #I love my babies# xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxoooooxxxxxx

So not liking the overuse of the word 'hun' is racist now?

Jesus Christ. Here, have a hun. That's the best thing I've heard all week.

eeek that sounds very true.

Keeping thinking the word "hun" randomly having read this thread today and yesterday, a bit like having a song on your mind.

May I ask which race it is that owns the word 'hun'?
