So many 'nethun' type posts on here just lately

[HelenaWay]

I've seen so many posts recently with kisses on, not just after a post but after every sentence. I hate it.

Also words such as bubba and hubby have been creeping in.

Does it bother anyone else or aibu to want to punch my computer every time I see it?

Wow we're so cool because we swear and we don't use certain words. Get over it OP. Smh. It feels like I'm back in some sad playground in school.

Yes, there's one at the moment where the OP uses the phrase gorgeous little bubba and loads of the posts end with kisses. I obviously couldn't say anything on there because I would have been eaten.

Wow we're so cool because we swear and we don't use certain words.

I didn't say any of this.

Oh hang on does nethuns refer to people calling each other Hun?? I always though it was like 'Huns' as in 'Atilla The' . Doh!

Yes nethuns are the people who say Hun in ever sentence and follow the "your bubz your rulez" and "mumma knows best". Even if it's weaning a baby at 8 weeks old.

You don't question the Huns. They have a pack mentality and will be shouted down for questioning as like above "mumma knows best".

Now this doesn't mean all of netmums are like this. Not at all. But a lot of them hang around there.

But they are slowly making their way across here and are shouting down anything where the mum is being questioned on what she does.

Well... Quite.

But for those upset by criticism of the huns, there's nothing the vipers don't criticise. Even MN jargon is criticised and put down all the time.

Just do whatever you want, because you're open to criticism regardless.

U OK, Hun? Xxx inbox me xxxxxx

You are now getting the text generation coming through so x at end of posts hun blah di blah. I know some people like to think mumsnet is a cosy enclave of North London naiceness like the good old days where is was a handful of mums but times change new members join it is a chat forum nothing more hugs and kisses is much nicer than goady fuckery is it not ?

Are you on glue, dear?
Why don't you go and get a naice ham, a quiche and FOTTFSOFAFOSM?

HTH

(To MNHQ: huns, it's a joke, I don't really mean those Fs in there to the pp. Xxx)

more hugs and kisses is much nicer than goady fuckery is it not ?

It's not.

More seriously, I've had real problems trying to decode a few recent posts.
I read them and re-read them and think WTAF are they saying?

Remember that post a few weeks ago where someone wanted the perfect back for her and Bae

It's a bit ironic that people are complaining about the use of LO and Hun when most users of Mumsnet use the horribly twee DD, DS and even worse DDOG. DS makes me laugh because it is so much easier than typing the extra letter and just writing son.

What in the name of all that is holy, are 'sticky beans'? And how do they bring on bubbers.....?

I saw a poster asking another poster what LO meant where it was obvious she was talking about her baby the poster was just being pedantic.

Sticky bean is when you just find out you're pregnant and you want that "bean" to stay there and continue the pregnancy

But nicer than saying embryo and foetus

Bit not but

No I get your point Hecate

I've questioned someone thinking they were being silly and it was a joke but then again that's what the emotes are for

after a comment that could have been taken seriously, shows it's a joke

You need more important things to get wound up about op.

Is it fuck snobbery. It's standards. There's no need for a woman to ever call another adult 'hun'. I love the restraint of the quintessential mner, who would only ever post a kiss on a thread to a suicidal person, or the recently bereaved.

On a subconscious level people know that and so try to replace that non verbal element. So you see lots of lol and hun and xx
But that's not really non-verbal, is it?
And frankly, I'm from a culture that kisses a lot and we always send kisses at the end of messages. But not in the middle. Usually only at the beginning or end of conversations.

Btw, DS replaces "my son" rather than just son. It basically replaces their names because it's anonymous.
And I don't mind LO. It was common in another forum (not NM). It's nowhere near Bubba.

Yeah I don't LO, LB, or LG either.

If that's how they want to say it, fine. It's easy to understand
