'Hi Op'

[Mooey89]

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.

'Chick' has superseded 'hun' for indicator of intelligence levels.

I had to read an entire thread in text speak this morning. It brought on an attack of the vapours.

There are people using text speak unironically even though the TGs point out that it mucks up accessibility software.

There are people using kisses as punctuation.

I know it's probably sensible but I get all agitated when someone quotes me.

Get OVER it, babe. It is very sensible so people (and unnamed OP) know exactly what you are referring to.

Oh yuck yes - addressing one's audience as "mummies" or even "mums" is very NM/Bounty/Babycentre.

Use of the phrase "we're all mums here" should be punishable by death and if there's an errant apostrophe too then that death should be slow. Because FUCK OFF.

If someone quoted me and didn't say my name I might not even notice they had. So it's not particularly sensible if you want any answer from me.

Quoting is often used when ripping what someone has posted to shreds.

I like someone quoting me if followed by a simple 'This'.

Hi OP,

YADBU, just asked the hubster and we were both like, lolz.

Mn is being invaded by the babycentre/netmums crew didn't you know xx

It always does when I am being ripped to shreads that's for sure. I am hoping that 'Babe' was ironic.

I love that Ella, I feel so happy and appreciated when that happens. If complimentary of course it's acceptable, I am arguing against myself here.

What's ironic, babe? Like rain on your wedding day?

(Oops let myself down with too much punctuation, I fear).

Not a classics, I fear.

MN Nazi????

And lack of kisses Merry (I am sticking to bolding names)

'lo' (as in: Today my lo was sick, poor bubba).

It always looks so Biblical, but is then let down by the context

There's a Jilly Cooper novel where a man asks a woman if she would like a drink, then comments 'It's a real LO'. She asks and it turns out 'LO' stands for 'leg-opener'. That's why LO freaks me out a bit. Well, that and it's twee as fuck.

(Hi OP! And ladies doffs hat)

MN obvs. We have gin and swearing.

Your being a dick OP.

That is all
