About huns?

[WellErrr]

I'm fully prepared to be told that I am VU/a snob/a fucking cunting bastard etc.

Fully prepared.

But more and more and more since the recent DM shite I've noticed 'hun'ing creeping into over half the threads I click on.

It makes my teeth itch. I always want to say something but I don't want to be that arsehole.

I don't know why it annoys me. I'm not a snob so it's not that. It's just so bloody twee.

I accidentally say "like" quite a lot. I have done since about 1995, probably. Maybe since watching Clueless? I hate lmao. I assume this means "laughed my arse off". Is this even a saying? Or did someone just decide to go one better than "laugh my head off". I don't mind the occasional lol, but only if it's in reference to something funny, not "Hello lol" for example.

I can't even count correctly! WTF is wrong with me?

Yanbu. At all.

It just softens a sentence, makes it sound a little less harsh

No, it really, really doesn't. It's stupid.

One of the reasons I object to it is because it is often an 18-19 yr old person addressing me, at 57, as Hun or Babes. It just makes me want to slap you. Sorry, but it does.

This place is so weird sometimes.

So understated Umbongo

MN as a community has its own community language.

The end of that, and anything else that marks out viperish from unMNetty, weakens the community.

It often happens after an influx.

I think it would be a shame if MN changed too much. A major change to something as fundamental as the language would be a pity.

So bring on the cunts!

I do wish all the hun adherents would adopt the spelling 'hon', though.

Feeches, that's what comes to my mind when I read it.

just5 it seems mumsnet hates me today. Can't say a single thing right.

Hun gives me the rage. Inexplicably. No hun. No. Fuck off.

Back when all this were fields Navy

This emoticon 😂 annoys me on mn aswell...

FB is understandable. But there no need on mn when you can have

Fuck yes, the lolz

Even my phone tried refusing to type that bloody word.

Lol .

Just start a thread talking some random bollocks Umbongo, then you'll get to steer the madness

Do all you lot see the 'huns' as a purely class thing? Or is it regional? Or a term for the young?

None of the above, just plainly deluded.
