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!!!

Picky tea is what you have usually around Christmas time or any time you have a fridge full of nice things and is a meal made up of lots of lovely things for everyone to pick at e g. cold meats, cheese, bread rolls, dips etc. Some of the things you'd have on a buffet but a buffet is much more extensive.

Love a picky tea and it has positive connotations for me as I just think of nice food.

I hate it. It’s the same level of cringe as “should of” and “could of” ! 😱

I did hear a mum using a mn cliche in rl yesterday. She said "what fresh hell is this?" And if you can imagine very mc boden wearer, she fits that stereotype completely. She's someone i've been avoiding for years now as she seems "a bit much".

I hate "get the rage" more.

Or maybe she was an English teacher?

@MarieQueenofScots yes I do.

'what fresh hell is this' has been around for decades it's not a MN thing.

Fresh hell has indeed been around for decades,if fact I can't really think of anything I've seen on MN that isn't in RL use. MN adopts phrases but very little is original.

It's reckoned to be by (or at least popularised by) Dorothy Parker.
I can imagine her, though not a parent, making some fabulous contributions to MN. But without ever being 'naice'.

Fresh hell is something I have said for many many years. A lot of my friends say it. It's a good phrase, very expressive.

Mumsnet is just a group of people typing out their thoughts. They are real people and real thoughts. The attitudes and beliefs are real, the phrases are real.

Yes it's in general use but it's still not something you hear much outside mn. I don't think i'd heard anyone use it in an everyday context until i joined up in 2007. Far too pretentious! Maybe you haven't been here as long as me!

@Rufflecrow I have said it since about 1985.

Why is it pretentious? It is a turn of phrase.

Maybe she reads books or watches television. It’s a pretty common phrase.

I think 'what fresh hell is this' may have had a resurgence courtesy of Sheldon Cooper in the Big Bang Theory.

I hate it. It’s the same level of cringe as “should of” and “could of” !

it's usually from the same people anyway.
It's even more cringey because you can feel the smugness, they think they are being funny or clever. So maybe not rage, but they do sound ridiculous.

and I still don't know what the fuck are posh biscuits or posh chocolates!

I've always wondered how naice is pronounced. Is it like 'nay-ss'? Or drawn out to two syllables 'na-eece'?

(From the person who insists Balonz should rightly be pronounced BAY-lonzz...)

Oh I like 'naice ham', it reminds me of Cod and possibly Enid on the shopping lists thread.

I don't MN regularly but 'naice' makes me smile enough that I do think it when choosing ham at the supermarket

I like “What fresh hell is this?” Unlike “naice, it’s punchy and not self congratulatory.

Really? I thought 'Should of' was just a grammar error, and naice a bit of a self piss-take.

But then I said 'What fresh hell?' while probably wearing something from Boden recently, so what do I know.

Why are you so bothered though Op? I hate gives me the rage but don't start posts slaying others for using it if you don't "get it" then you don't. I do admit to using fresh hell in rl. Oh and suck it up,

Also my mum has used 'picky tea' since the early 80s at least!

There are very few phrases I can think of that I dislike or that annoy me, but I always cringe inwardly at 'tear him a new one' which in my mind is horribly violent and thrown around casually.

i shall just leave this hear

and yes, YABU, it's generally being used in a very lighthearted way. And to the PP, no, not by the posters with poor grammar who use could of and would of.

*here ffs

You're supposed to use it about yourself too though. It describes the self conscious choosing of something more expensive or whatever because you know it's 'respectable'. Like, I always wrap my family;'s christmas presents with no ribbon or plasticky ribbon but DH's family will get proper fabric ribbon - naice ribbon - because they're posher than me.
