To get the rage when people use the word NAICE on MN?

[MotherOfAllNameChanges]

Would upu ever use it in real life? Makes me cringe to my bones!!!

Yes, I guess it saves a lot of words - probably because posters don’t have the words to use in the first place!

Its dippy eggs and picky teas that drive me nuts.

Something naice said like that really gets the message across (espec with a Norn Iron access) lol

accent....

Love a picky tea, with lots of picky bits.

I love using naice.
I don’t think I am vair vair hillair, I just like the way it looks typed next to ham.
I don’t mind picky tea, veggies and hubby either.
I am the MN equivalent of a cool wife.

It’s easy shorthand to gently take the piss out of pretentious types. Quite useful on here.

I used to love a shopping list thread.
I haven’t even seen a shopping list for ages. I blame technology, it’s all done on those bloody smart phones now.

Cool people would not use hubby or bubba. You are the antithesis of “ a cool wife”.

A picky tea? Is that a buffet in normal words?

I see it as just a way to describe something (esp. food) that you wouldn't ordinarily buy because it's maybe not within your budget but are buying as a treat.

Did you mean to be so rude ?

Picky tea? Is that some sort of pidgin? It’s not English.

I would imagine so. It’s what make her name changes pointless she can always be spotted!

I've never heard of that either. I know that finger buffets are often known as 'picky food' but they aren't usually served with tea.

Tea is served with food you eat with your hands but generally consists of sandwiches and cake or scones.

Can't say I think a buffet lunch or supper has any snob value. They are so often served at parties, weddings, funerals, Christenings, I must say I like them (hungry now, yum), and generally like lots of things from a deli.

Makes me smile.
My mum speaks naice on the phone when she puts on her posh voice.

There are lots of sayings that will irritate people here on MN. Its only meant as a bit of fun. smile

My mum did that and it was so obvious, she strung her vowels out on a clothes line! I used to cringe when I was a child if we were out and met anybody she vaguely knew.

I agree with your last sentence. I'll chill out and make myself a picky meal from bits I have in the fridge (if they're not past their use by date).

Pffffffft.

You'd better be pronouncing those scones correctly.

The clue is in here.

Picky tea makes me think of monkeys picking the bugs out of each other’s fur.

You are not being naice, OP.

YANBU.

YANBU it also sickens me it's a horrible word!
I can't take anyone seriously who's used it

I did know some people from South Wales with lovely gentle accents who'd say, "There's naice", quite naturally. In London and surrounding areas you'd just say, "Nice", if you had to say the word at all; it is a bit overused.

As for ham, if I was doing the shopping myself I would just write, 'ham' because I would be choosing what I wanted. If I did a list for my (late) husband, I'd probably emphasise that I wanted something of decent quality rather than a bogof or 3-4-2 of which he was fond :-).
