...to wish that 3 particular words would vanish from mumsnet forever.

[BertrandRussell]

They only ever seem to be used to diminish and try to shut down discussion. To deflect from somebody's argument without addressing it, and to try to make the other person look irrational and/or mean spirited, or to characterise their point as an overreaction, however moderately it's been been put. They are the polemical equivalent of playing the player not the ball.

The words are froth/frothing/frothers, sneer/sneery/sneering and hate/haters.

Frances. There would be lots of gritted teeth.

Boulevard is this a TAAT?

Have my first ever biscuit

Yes, so many people losing their biscuit virginity in rows.

I think I used my first biscuit back when nobody knew what to do with them.

Have my second biscuit

I think the biscuit should go, it serves no purpose. now we have the rancid Cadburys bar which is a far better insult.

But I've never used my biscuit! I don't want to go to my grave a biscuit-virgin.

The one the most bugs me has been touched upon about, the deliberate misunderstanding. Specifically the "and what did the teacher say when you told her X" when it is clear from the op and subsequent posts that the poster hasn't spoken to to the teacher, it's just a patronising, self-satisfied way of making the point to the poster that they should probably have spoken to teacher, but why not just say that outright.

I'm not sure I have made my point very clearly but I'm sure others that share my annoyance will get what I meAn.

Have my first ever rancid Cadbury's bar

We need some insults though...right?

I don't want to go to my grave a biscuit-virgin.

LOL

We all know what the biscuit means anyway.

It means "you are a fucking dick but I'm not allowed to say that. In fact the fact I want to give you my first biscuit means no one else I have ever met here has been a
bigger dick than you".

Goady is ,a term I hate. I think that a poster who accuses a person of being goady is very often goady themselves. I have seen that word used so many tmes, try and shut down discussion.

I agree. Another vote for 'goady' from me.

I am a biscuit virgin too.

I don't see the point of giving someone a biscuit. Like we are meant to care that someone has lost their biscuit virginity.

Annie you can give me your first biscuit if you like.

On a slightly different note I really hate 'serve'. I don't serve food up in my house, I'm not a waitress. See also 'food prep'.

Never really see 'hate' or 'haters' much on MN, isn't the demographic a bit old ? I agree with 'sneery' etc. But I have to confess to using 'vile' in RL, love it.

What should replace 'goady'? It describes some posters perfectly.

And don't anyone give me a biscuit after that now

SN brigade

god that is a vile term

I see both sides of "goady"
Have been called it because I vehemently disagreed with tone of thread and said so.
But some do just post to cause a bunfight and it's fair enough to call them on it.although IMO that's troll hunting really.

Is it meant to be a jammie dodger?

Here you go Fanjo

I think everyone should post what they like because variety is the spice of life and trends come and go.

I like those kind of biscuits!

In the context of this thread perhaps it should represent an exposed boob.

What should replace 'goady'?

The word 'goading' perhaps which already exists? And used when someone was troublemaking and being deliberately provocative.

In still have my biscuit after about 8 or 9 years on here. But I'm a greedy buggy, no one's getting my biscuit!

Can all bog off.

Annie you can give me your first biscuit if you like.

U2 I'm never going to get a more generous offer in my life, so:

I actually like that biscuit. (So does Eleven, when he can convince the daleks it's a self-destruct button.)
