to think MN is being infiltrated by Huns?

[BendyLikeBeckham]

So much love, babe, hun and xxxx on here lately.

I'm getting viper withdrawal.

Am I imagining it?

Thanks in advance x

Can I point out I am not a viper, hun.

I’m a fucking harpy.

MN gives you wings...

The kisses at the end of posts irrationally annoys me, I automatically assume things about the poster and judge.

I hate the over long sentences and paragraphs.

However, taking the piss out of people on the fertility board for using babydust, af and baby dancing is out of order. They're going through a really hard time. They're posting on their own board about issues affecting them in a way which makes it a bit easier to deal with.

completely different to

It's 'different from'. God, isn't crappy grammar offensive?

I always remember reading Jilly Cooper's "Class" book and she wrote how furious her parents were when a local aristocrat, despite being invited to their house for a couple of dreary sherries and correct conversation, disappeared from their social milieu. They had designs on him for Jilly, I think.

Turns out he was to be found every night at a working class man's (factory owner?) house gambling and drinking all night instead of going to them

As Jilly pointed out,the working classes and the upper classes have more in common than the middle classes have with either - that being they both don't give a damn what other people think about them. Both groups are to be seen very inebriated and shouting in the streets of an evening, acting like they own the place

I’ve not seen auntflo, baby dust and baby dancing for a long time and not really on MN either tbh. I doubt using those phrases makes someone feel better for doing so though.

Agree with pp - nothing inherently intelligent about cruelty IMO.

@BendyLikeBeckham
If you’re Scottish you don’t casually describe people as Huns, really don’t 🙄

multivac why do you think it’s ok to pull someone up on their grammar?

As for the poster who says we're all 'just having a laugh': grow up. And find ways to amuse yourself that don't involve shitting on other human beings because of the way they speak and write to each other.

Have you RTFT, NoSauce?

kenandbarbie I'm facing infertility but can catagorically say the baby dancing, Aunt Flo showing her 'face' and tonnes of baby dust (whatever that is, anyway) being thrown about is grating.

What's wrong with saying sex, period and good luck?

Genuine advice and sympathy on the conception/fertility board threads is appreciated, but 'baby dust hunny xxx' can go up the vacuum. It's patronising - even a 'best of luck' is a much better sentiment to offer.

Yes I rtfs. You can’t pick and choose which responses are ok to put down.

WTH is baby dancing?

Baby dancing is a saccharine term for trying to conceive.

Baby dancing is shagging with the intention of creating a baby. It's a horrendous phrase that should never EVER be used EVER (not envy).

Maybe you should try reading it again. I was making a general point. About hypocrisy.

@hunsontherun

@Iboogy no not at all. Nobody should behave like a bitch. I the past I have received the most amazing emotional and practical support here on MN from total non-huns. Hunnery is not the only way to be nice.

You guys need to watch this

Another Scot here that thought it was about Glasgow last night!
DD was working in Govan yesterday and wondered where all the buses, trains and even taxis had gone
Luckily got home before it really kicked off.

Anyway what did happen on netmums? Did anyone explain?

I’ve not seen auntflo, baby dust and baby dancing for a long time and not really on MN either tbh. I doubt using those phrases makes someone feel better for doing so though

Can’t speak for everyone but they don’t bother me either.

When I was into month 30+ of fertility treatment, a poster sent me a very kind DM including the phrase “babydust”. Is it how I would have expressed myself? No. But how much of a cunt would I have been to sneer at someone trying to be kind.

The “babydust” didn’t work. I still have the message though, because it was such kindness from a stranger at a really shitty time.

the vid even has swearing and the word VIPER. 🤪

I dont really need deffending but that vid is so fun. Cheers babe

Live laugh love huns xoxo

@Sistersofmerci

Down with that wankery sort of thing
