'Hi Op'

Hi ladies,
I've noticed a huge influx lately of people starting OPs like this, or starting responses 'hi Op'.
Don't even get me started on the X's.
Yes, yes. I know I'm a MN nazi. But I'm a purist. I don't want to be a nethun.

As you were.

So I'm guessing, "Hey You Fucker" is better in your opinion, Op?

Can we use "what up fuckfaces" ?

2boysnamedR · 23/03/2016 17:38

Maybe we need to create a universal generic greeting that covers all possibilitys without offending anyone while summing up the MN ethos? Let's have a think....

.....Can't think of anything fitting plus I can't spell and I know that can set of "the rage" Wink

Hi GoadyRagingVipersOfNonSpecificSex?

You hot to love a thread that manages to have reference to shibboleths and cunty chops in it!

Budgetbust · 23/03/2016 17:45

Hot to???

GOT TO

Why is it hun and not hon?

I use OP because my memory is non existent by page 20 and can't be arsed to scroll on my phone. Either you're taking the piss or genuinely need to step away from the internet if 'hi Op, hi ladies' pisses you off.

Mooey89 · 23/03/2016 18:50

The use of 'OP' is not a problem.
It's introducing your response every time
'Hi Op, Just wanted to say xyz'

I haven't heard a good 'Wotcha' since about 1984.

Cutecat78 · 23/03/2016 19:08

There has been far too much of this Flowers for my liking recently too.

Charley50 · 23/03/2016 19:13

Wotcha tethersend...
Hi OP, I too can't be arsed to scroll back on a phone and I use it to make clear I'm responding to the OP and not another comment in the thread.
I also now hate my user name: I'm not called Charley, I'm not 50 or born in 1950, and I'm not a man. And when I first went on MN two years ago I didn't put much thought into it cuz I had no idea I would become ridiculously addicted to the cuntychops site

Charley50 · 23/03/2016 19:14

This cuntychops site even!

coffeeisnectar · 23/03/2016 19:17

What about OppyMcOpface?

Or MummyMcMumface?

Cutecat78 · 23/03/2016 19:19

Cuntymccuntface......

ClopySow · 23/03/2016 19:20

Yeah, hi op winds me up. As does someone starting their post with the OP's username in bold.

mooey89

I am addressing you as the op therefore you must pay attention to my very important post. I am not talking to other posters. Just you. This is a one to one conversation. No-one else is involved.

I feel better for having got that off my chest. Thanks hun. Rofl. Xxxxxx

ClopySow · 23/03/2016 19:22

"For having got that"

Jesus, where did i even learn to speak?

Soz. Lol.

WitsEnders · 23/03/2016 19:24

Sometimes 'OP' is just easier than typing out the full poster's name.

A bit like 'hun' is easier than 'honey' and 'lol' is easier than Grin

DustOffYourHighestHopes · 23/03/2016 19:32

Peaceandloveeveryone · 23/03/2016 19:36

I am with you on quotes sparkling, I know it's probably sensible but I get all agitated when someone quotes me.

MollyLollyPop · 23/03/2016 19:40

Knob off you bunch of penis beakers! Grin

Sparklingbrook · 23/03/2016 19:43

It came up a while back Peace and everyone seemed to think it was fine. I think it's a bit odd to quote when you can just type the name, bold it and comment on what they said, but that's just me. Grin

Sparklingbrook · 23/03/2016 19:44

TBF I have started doing it a bit but I am not entirely comfortable with it. Grin

almondpoisson · 23/03/2016 19:46

OP, what are you going on about? I don't have time to check the number and order of ironic digits in your username hun so OP is surely easier. Ladies though, is a terribly erroneous way to address the users of this site.

almondpoisson · 23/03/2016 19:47

the hun was iro.. oh never mind

Peaceandloveeveryone · 23/03/2016 19:52

Don't Sparkling a few of us need to stand strong on quotes.
