For me it's 'go with the flow'. Makes me shudder.

'They are playing happily ' is fine.

'Can you do me this favour?' 'Happily' smug

What kind of ism?

It was posted about elsewhere, so you're half right.

My thread isn't bollocks!

It's a proper barney with screenshotting and everything.

Property. It's a sodding house.
Piece when referring to furniture - it's not art, it's a coffee table.

And the super annoying Wink #blessed Angry

Usual I've been on MN a long time now (I'm a hateful name changer) it's always been bollocks.

And people have always
complained that it used to be better.

SkyRabbitt I'm completely behind you on #blessed. I mentally deduct respect points for anyone that uses it.

Some cuntish behaviour on this thread. How surprising.

Sky I don't like 'piece' either, especially when referring to clothing items or accessories like handbags.

How about 'space' when referring to an office or a shop.

YY to piece and space. And people raving about "the light."

What about "Just sayin'." ? It's like being rude and then asserting some right to do so.

Happily, it doesn't bother me. I happily use it when I am going about my day to day business. Happily, so do DH and the DCs.

Therefore, I am going to happily ignore this thread.

However, OP, I do hope it goes happily for you.

"Vintage piece" is nonsense too.

Or "pre-loved". Just fuck off.

Am waiting for hubby to come in to the kitchen 'who are you lot slagging off this time?' oh i loves my hubster. Might send him a bookface message to tell him I love him for good measure.

I am relieved. People are starting to forget you say happily not happy in some contexts. Same with food - you should say I eat healthily not I eat healthy. We need to fight to keep those words correct in their use.
