To dislike the term 'naice'?

[MemoryOfSleep]

I am starting to see this with increasing frequency on MN. From what I gather, it means posh/expensive. I don't know how those who use it pronounce and for or some reason I find it incredibly irritating! AIBU?

I've read penis beaker and elderly Korean lady, but my favourite thus far has been the one about the fat balls. Penis beaker was also hilarious.

I always took it to mean nice and not as posh as it seems,pretentious.Perfect for the right situations.

I need to find Elderly Korean Lady ...

@Andtheresaw how do you pronounce it??

Penis beaker was also hilarious

It really wasn't.

I think it's a lot more expressive than 'nice' on it's own.

Nice = decent, ok, of an acceptable standard, no obvious deficiencies, an area with working, well behaved citizens etc, but they don't shop waitrose.
Naice = that extra bit special from the finest range, property prices just that bit extra and so on.

Snapped and farted it’s my favourite

I think it depends how it's used, in some cases it feels like a genuine boast, on others it seems tongue in cheek.

I think it’s used in here in a smarmy jealous kinda way tbh. Nothing wrong with buying nice if you can afford it.

It isn't. It's a way of saying something is "nice" quality.

Example - my dog chewed my naice shoes. Meaning the shoes were decent ones. That kind of thing.

Naice = nice but with a soupçon of extra pretentiousness. It's a useful word.

Nice ham = reasonable quality

Naice ham = artisanal ham, wrapped in greaseproof paper and comes in a paper bag. Probably from a butcher with a hipster beard.

Penguin on a train is the best thread ever.
Naice is a part of MN legendness.

Lots of people think penis beaker ruined mumsnet it did

Naice was around here back in the days it was all trees.

Fuckit I miss those days

Elderly Korean Lady entertained me all of that afternoon .

OP I am with you

Naice , for some reason, boils my piss.

I like it, naice ham is very different from nice ham. I know what a poster means when they use it.

Personally I like filthy ham. The description needs to contain the words mechanically separated, formed and added water. I know it's wrong but it's so good.

I used naice the other day (first time I'd used it) to mean posh and a bit pretentious, it's definitely different from nice.

I think if you don’t know about the naice shopping list it looks a bit wanky.

It’s an ‘in joke’ that’s all.

Someone on my road has a number plate that says ‘naiice’ and it always makes me chuckle.

Can anyone remember the bun fight about Robert Mugabe eyeliner pencils?
I don't think it made it to classics but it left me wheezing.
Such a random thing to row about.

I like naice. It’s very useful shorthand.

@Miggeldy, YES! It's always reminded me of dear Valerie.

OP, the fat balls one is my absolute favourite MN thread ever. I honestly laughed so hard I cried.

I don't know why you don't like it OP? Are you a bit common and prefer value ham from Tesco?

According to the Urban Dictionary, the definition of 'naice' is: "An adjective to describe a genuinely nice but naïve person."

This has upset me, for reasons that I can't quite articulate.

@TheQuuef could you explain about the Robert Mugabe eyeliner? It rings a bell, but I've forgotten the context.

Bet you don’t have a son called Tarquin. Or Wentworth. Or Apollo. Stand down OP. Ha ha ha

I agree with you OP
