AIBU "Merry Christmas"

[Emerald92]

AIBU to be annoyed that no one uses "Merry Christmas" anymore? Its very OTT!

'Tis those guys with the muslamic ray guns.

Not in the spirit of the thread, but I think the "muslamic ray guns" meme is now in poor taste after the revelations.

Yes he was racist, incoherent and drunk/ stopped clock and all that, but its a pretty shitty "right on" joke to make.

What an abhorrent view.

You are tarring an entire community by the actions of a few. Shame on you.

I haven't followed this earth shattering news afterwards, it was too inane to start with. But well done on shooting down a comment against the inanity of this thread, you are a true revolutionist.

Sorry, I suppose there are still people who try and be right on with the muslamic ray guns meme who are actually educated.

I'm not trying to be right on, I am on MN in the evening talking inane shit, same as you. But you are superior in every way.

🎶We wiisshh you a merry Christmas and a HAPPY New Year🎶

I say Happy Christmas, because Merry isn't in my standard vocabulary.

I write Merry in cards, so it's not Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I say happy because that's what I wish for people - are you really getting strung out about a specific form of words, rather than the intent behind them?

The Queen says Happy Christmas.

I live in the USA and I have cards on my mantelpiece wishing me a Merry Christmas.

Seriously OP go find something else to do with your time than posting such drivel.

Absolute bullshit.

Off you pop back to the Daily Mail comments section.

Not a revisionist, nor am I sticking up for the thread, it's pretty much a tired joke, if you are being serious about not understanding maybe you should read more that he was actually talking about, in is incoherent racist terminology the rape gang epidemic in rotherham.

Just because the thread is a shitty attempt at a dogwhistle, already said I'm an ex muslim and very brown, doesn't mean you need to be the epitome of the alternative view.

I use both at random

Obviously hit a nerve, but whatever.

It is a shitty "right on" joke that everyone jumped on to call out threads such as this, since the revelations however, it just shows you up more than it does the OP.

If you are shit poster you must have come across this many times already, if not, then I am obviously a revolutionary to you

The second such AIBU in a week

Yes, you have hit a raw nerve, Justanotherlurker, but not the one you think. I teach at a university and see a lot of lovely right-on bright young things all day. It's fun, but exhausting and sometimes just a little repetitive. I am not looking for the same on MN.

Merry Christmas everywhere. I have yet to hear anything different.

There you go OP
Don't worry be "merry "

It is a shitty "right on" joke that everyone jumped on to call out threads such as this, since the revelations however, it just shows you up more than it does the OP.

lurker, How does it show up pax? What is this connection yu're trying to make? Why not just say it?

Dp and I are always ranting about this. We were just enjoying taking about the old gold foil and red printed 'merry Christmas and happy new year's banners we used to have as kids.

Yes, you have hit a raw nerve, Justanotherlurker,but not the one you think.

I've been quite open in saying it's a pretty tired joke and in poor taste.

I teach at a university and see a lot of lovely right-on bright young things all day. It's fun, but exhausting and sometimes just a little repetitive.

Good for you, you should then realise that those bright young right-on students even think the "muslamic ray guns" meme is in pretty poor taste, being a teacher I would have thought that you would have picked up on it.

I am not looking for the same on MN.
Sometimes people pull you up on stuff. The fact you didn't know why is more a reflection on you and not me being a GF.

You haven't pulled me up on anything, Justanotherlurker. I have no idea why it is tired, I never heard about it after the initial video. If you'd like me to know, you must tell.

I think you are desperate to find a wrong you can put right.

And if I may put in one request, a bit less of the "as a kangaroo, you should know/ must have heard". I speak for nobody and am here as nobody but myself. We all are.

Not sure about the "anymore" aspect. I'm amongst the older end of the MN age range, and we've always said "Happy Christmas" to people. Not noticed any change.
Do you think it is a regional thing?

You haven't pulled me up on anything, Justanotherlurker. I have no idea why it is tired, I never heard about it after the initial video. If you'd like me to know, you must tell.

Do you honestly have no further understanding on the background of the muslamic ray gun meme?

I think you are desperate to find a wrong you can put right.

Not really, I think you're more eager to virtue signal and I just decided to pick up on it.

What are you doing then, depravity signalling? I am not virtue signalling, I am not particularly virtuous.

I have no fucking idea what the came after the meme and since you have now spent 7 tedious posts passive aggressively not telling me, I am out of here.
