It's not any who, it's any how. Does my nut. As you were.

I'm afraid I've taken to the MN anyhoo, I love it 😀

caz323 · 03/05/2017 16:18

I don't mind it either. Until I joined MN, I'd never heard of mahoosive - quite like that one aswell.

BorpBorpBorp · 03/05/2017 16:19

It's not any how, it's anyway.

It's not any who
It's anyhoo.
You've gotten it wrong

It's just an affectation. In terms of crimes against English it ranks pretty low down.

Batgirlspants · 03/05/2017 16:29

Oh no much prefer anyhooo,

Boils my piss good too.

It's not any how, it's anyway

This. Sorry OP.

Goldfishjane · 03/05/2017 16:50

annnnnnnnyhooooooooooooo

Actually that is the full correct spelling.

Should be preceded by "hell" and accompanied by an old fashioned in a tumbler.

SweetChickadee · 03/05/2017 16:50

yes anyway is right

anyhoo is much better though - more expressive

MrsFrisbyMouse · 03/05/2017 16:50

It's anyhoo. And it's in the Oxford Dictionary. (meaning informal - to get back on track) Good example of how language is a living developing thing.

Anyhoo - YABU

Littledidsheknow · 03/05/2017 17:07

I like "anyhoo", it's not an MN thing though.

TwitterQueen1 · 03/05/2017 17:11

Another yes for 'anyhoo'. Great to use in business meetings when the conversation gets derailed. Everyone stops talking and looks at you in a puzzled fashion, which means you can get back to the points that need to be discussed.

justgivemethepinot · 03/05/2017 17:15

I like anyhoo too I use it a lot.

horsemadgal · 03/05/2017 18:28

I could be wrong but I thought it was The Wiggles that started it.

Is it a Ned Flanders-ism?
