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 don't mean you WellErr just today on MN generally!)

The only people who I know who say babes are proper posh types

Well I'm about to walk into a local pub on match day wearing an opposition strip...

I like a hun! God, I would never do it myself (I'm not that cool), but I envy the hunners. They're like that group of girls at school who always look immaculate and all the boys fancy and hug each other before they go into class.. "Okay hun, see you later hun, love you, bye!" I get a little bit like "those girls are talking to me!" when I see "hun".

I can't believe myself but that's more than a little bit true.

I saw a "hubby" on here the other day. Bold as brass, right in the middle of a sentence. I was waiting for someone to pull her up on it, but no! She hubbied away all thread.

I'd much rather be called a cunt than hun, personally.

Let's get down to business

To defeat.... The Huns.

EvansOval If I hear someone say 'blessed' I say, 'Oh, I didn't know you were very religious?'.
What the feck is wrong with lucky?!

BorisJohnsonsHair · 07/06/2016 20:45

And this kind of fcking crp gets on my bl00dy nerves too.

If you're going to swear, swear properly you wankers.

I was sitting next to one of the new graduates today. She referred to me as 'lovely' twice (as in 'Hi, lovely') and told me I was 'a babe' as way of thanks.

That I refrained from slamming her laptop lid shut on her head is testament to the people management skills I've developed over the years. I may include it in my appraisal.

Nobody seems to LMAO anymore. :(

Queenbean · 07/06/2016 20:47

And strikeout is so fucking annoying. We can actually read it, writing something a bit naughty in strikeout doesn't make it invisible somehow

AmberNectarine · 07/06/2016 20:48

I do enjoy an ironic 'lolz' though.

My new workplace hatred is when someone signs off 'KR'. You can't regard me that kindly if you cannot spare the additional 11 keystrokes.

I love a strike out, am I a cunt?

Queenbean · 07/06/2016 20:51

Yes. Or a hun. Whichever is worse.

I like a strike out and creepy wee brackets. I don't even mind a lol. Sometimes only a lol will do. But zero tolerance on the hun front. I used to know a hunner. Used to.

Aww bless. Gets right on my tits too. Impossible to say without a headtilt. Patronising as fuck.

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 07/06/2016 20:53

Sooner be a cunt than a Hun

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 07/06/2016 20:54

Lol is shite.

I'd sooner Grin.
