Fuck off ... And fuck off some more! Ear defenders or not this WAS NOT the place for your offspring! Aggggh!!!

Math
The mother started feeding her baby so one assumes it was indeed crying because it was hungry.

I wouldn't expect someone in their 50s to be familiar with youth slang. I wouldn't worry about it.

Surely your children spend all their time either playing wholesomely outdoors, or setting up reading programmes for underprivileged kids?

I'm sure your kids are totally snatched otherwise, boots!

I see you also have a pretty shaky grasp of sarcasm...

Again, if i were there and a baby was crying through the first song, i wouldn't let it get to second song.
Not the whole of american idiot is all loud.

elodie you're trying to use that pesky logic again

Elodie:
The mother started feeding her baby so one assumes it was indeed crying because it was hungry.

Babies don't necessarily cry when hungry. A breastfed baby in particular sitting right there with her mother might poke at her boobs or root. I have babysat breastfed babies who indicated hunger this way, even babies over one year old, who weren't even mine.

Littleprincesssara:
Are you referring to another thread, by any chance, with your reference to my children?
My DCs are aged 15 to 26.
DD4 still lives at home and rides a bike, but 'playing' outside tailed off a good deal for all of them once they hit their teens. Slang use took off in inverse relationship to playing. I suppose both developments are only to be expected of teens.
However, 'fanfic' and 'fanfiction' are not slang, so the over 50s are just as likely as someone younger to have a really good grasp of what the words mean. That is, if someone younger had a good grasp of what the words meant and wasn't just using words she didn't know the meaning of.

Yes, Francis - a baby who is bopping is a baby who could be swaying, bouncing herself on a knee, or otherwise moving to the music. As I remarked, if you are on your feet your movement to the music could be called 'dancing'. Babies often respond to music by head nodding, rocking, swaying, bouncing. Some people find this charming and call it 'dancing' and some find it charming and call it 'bopping', I suppose depending on which term you would normally use for 'moving to music'.

Moving energetically isn't a 'qualifier' there btw.

I am getting the impression that maybe some of you are not really familiar with babies and their habits.

Or the meaning of some words.

Oh don't be silly.

If you're at the point of googling and copy pasta individual words just because someone uses a slang word you're unfamiliar with, rather than address the actual argument (you inventing a fiction about sleeping babies when the mother admits the baby was awake) you're basically admitting defeat.

Ps plenty of dictionary words have double usage as slang terms. Snatch, Boots, Extra and Ship are all existing words that are also commonly used non-dictionary slang words with a completely different meaning (meaning, you will not find the slang definition of ship or boots in any dictionary). Is English your second language, perhaps?

Copypasta is a noun, not a verb, and it refers to a chunk of text repeatedly copied and pasted in lieu of original thought.

Glad to see you have now figured out what fiction is as opposed to fanfiction though.
No way do fanfic or fanfiction mean fiction, and they never have. They are not slang terms though fanfic is an abbreviation so sort of slang, for fantiction.

I didn't say the baby was sleeping. I said a baby could sleep, if his or her usual bedtime rolled around and he or she was equipped with ear defenders. Which he or she would not pull off in his or her sleep.

Just to head off any further mistakes in reading comprehension or memory on your part - I also suggested the baby was not screaming but moving ('bopping' to the music, as the mother stated) and possibly breastfeeding.

No shit

Fanfiction is a slang term for fake. Just because some random elderly person isn't personally familiar with a slang word, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

On Tumblr it is very common to use the word "fanfiction" as a way of indicating you believe a story is fake. Basically it's exactly the same as is here.

For example, there's a post on my feed right now from someone who went to see an A-list actor in a play and was sitting in the front row, claiming the actor was "totally eyefucking me from the stage." There are currently about twenty comments on that post literally just saying "fanfic" or "lol nice fanfiction."

No it's not, hun.

They are calling it fanfiction because it is 'fiction written by a fan of, and featuring characters from, a particular TV series, movie, [or A-list actor]' - the situation you describe is exactly what my definition encompasses.

I'm obv glossing right over 'random elderly person'.

You must be what - twelve?

I could give you links to a thousand posts where people have told stories that in no way involve any form of fan activity (eg claiming to be interning at the White House, claiming to have been in a coma) and had people respond with "fanfiction."

The fact is there are extremely large numbers of young people online who use fanfiction to mean "fake" and this is a widely accepted slang meaning within a specific subculture.

I suggest you look up the dictionary definition of slang.

Actually copypasta is commonly used as a verb too nowadays. But well done for entering copypasta into Google and reading the Wikipedia entry.

I don't believe for one single second you werefamiliar (without googling) with the unofficial slang meanings of boots or snatch, Ms "if I'm not familiar with a piece of slang it doesn't exist."

Stupid woman. Making it about breastfeeding pisses me off. I'm still ebf an 8 month old and get enough faces as it is without people lumping me in with selfish nutters like this.

I don't go out anywhere that's not baby friendly. That's the choice I've made.

Actually, I didn't want to embarrass you but the post about seeing the play does not fit any standard definition of fanfiction since it was being presented as a true event.

Young people are not an "esoteric little subculture." MN's own unique slang is, so it's pretty silly to attack and bully someone simply because they use a slang term commonly used in global youth culture.

Oh and I'm 24, evidently substantially more mature than you, and I pay my rent and bills entirely through my talents at writing.

little I'm younger than you and very familiar (probably too familiar) with Tumblr, Reddit, fanfiction etc and you're talking out of your arse. Seriously. You're embarrassing yourself.

Such an eloquent reply; you're making the most of those writing skills, eh?

You can bully me all you like, you can invent all the straw men arguments you like ("omg you used a slang term and all Internet arguments must be conducted strictly according to the OED!!"). The fact remains my close friend witnessed the event. No amount of bizarre stories from someone who only read about it in the Daily Mail changes what actually happened.

And Ovaries, I have to admire you for finding the time to become ab expert on Internet slang while simultaneously studying for a First Class degree, holding down a good job, raising a baby and planning a wedding. Where do you find the time!

I blog about it, little, I can send you the proof of it all if you don't believe me :)
