To say we need a new MN secret code / item to use IRL?

[OrdinaryGirl]

I joined MN in 2013, whilst duffers with DS1. There was a lot of talk about a 'Mumsnet scarf' that you could tell if someone was a MN-er if they were wearing one - sort of leopard-print, maybe blue?

I asked one friendly-looking mum at a baby group once if her scarf was a Mumsnet scarf and she looked confused and mildly offended. Yay! Go me.
Other than that I never saw one, and actually it might have been a wind-up or in-joke I didn't get because I was too new and stupid.

But we should have a Thing. A subtle way of slyly signalling that we are Mumsnetters, right? But what could it be? 🤨

They've ditched the scarf and wearing baggy dungarees now !

What's the mn haircut?

You just need to offer any likely MN candidates some Pom Bears and all with be revealed.

Oh god yes the mn haircut. Mine was a bit horrific I did not have the scarf but always bought naice ham

Aaagh! The heat must have gone to my head! I forgot all about the line dancing spiders and their dirty little Willie's!!

Willie's what? Auto correct wishes the willies to take ownership.... Typical.

Definitely doing the supermarket divider signal every time I'm there now

Reading a Sandi Tokvig book and noticed she used naice in one bit. 《Waves to Sandi》.

This is the MN haircut . It was quite popular a few years ago, although there were a few amusing threads when it had gone a bit disastrously wrong for some MNers!
