Honestly, if you're going to come up with a mean nickname for someone at least make it a good one. It sounds like something my young DS would come up with!

Am I the only one who thinks mad handjob?

nosswith · 15/11/2020 17:52

The only good thing about the nickname is if it led to them being shown the door.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon

Country, even.

But they some of them would struggle to even run a county.

They couldn't run a lemonade stall.

Jeesus. Please can people just stop voting for these fuckers? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I didn't.

Me neither As I like to remind my dsil who does nothing but bitch about them as a nurse yet voted for them in December because "Corbyn is a terrorist who will make us all poor and open the boarders" Hmm

It's crap, and not funny. If I was going to take the piss out of someone I'd at last try to be amusing.

It's awful, and feels to me like there are a bunch of nasty school children in government, bullying people and inventing stupid nicknames when they should be running the country. I never voted for these idiots and everything I hear makes me respect the current government less and less.

nosswith · 15/11/2020 18:17

@PerpendicularVincent I never had any respect for Mr Johnson, even before his lack of detail led to a woman languishing in an Iranian jail, and before he left his wife whilst she was undergoing cancer treatment.

The only reason I don't want him to go to the gallows is because I don't agree with the death penalty.

So breaking lockdown and bullshitting the public about it is fine but taking the piss out of Boris' latest partner is a step too far?

honeylulu · 15/11/2020 18:21

It's a bit feeble and not funny. I do agree it's misogynistic though. Very much a theme of women who don't defer to men are uppity bitches who should be chastised/punished/ declared mad and put firmly back in the pecking order (below men) where they belong.

The "hilarious" nickname not only refers to her alleged unhingedness but her resemblance to a squirrel. Men can be ugly of course but women whose looks dare to be less than perfect deserve mockery.

FlatulentSproutEater · 15/11/2020 18:23

@ShebaShimmyShake

Well, I just tried to name change to it but someone's beaten me to it, so at least two of us like it.
I tried that early this morning and someone had beaten me to it. I suspect many others have had the same experience today.

The brilliance of the insult is in it's very rubbishness. It's going to stick to her like shit to a blanket for the rest of her days.

ItsAlwaysSunnyOnMN · 15/11/2020 18:24

No it’s nasty It’s implying she is unhinged/hysterical

And we all know only women become hysterical Hmm

Saladfingersscaresme · 15/11/2020 18:27

@PegasusReturns I was wondering if someone else would see the misogyny, it’s certainly not a ‘cute’ nickname, it’s meant spitefully.

PerpendicularVincent · 15/11/2020 18:27

nosswith he's completely untrustworthy and unsuitable to be PM, I completely agree.

the80sweregreat · 15/11/2020 18:28

It is a rubbish nickname and I agree that ' leaks' from ' sources' will appear all over the Daily Mail in the next few weeks.
Cummings will definitely ' leak' on them from a great height is my prediction.
I hope by the next election the ' old band ' mates will be long gone.

Minky37 · 15/11/2020 18:29

I think it’s very nasty, misogynistic in calling her ‘nut’ ie insulting her intelligence and ‘mtge second ‘nut’ as a comment on her looks designed to humiliate her. Absolute twats, the state of Cummings too.

pigsDOfly · 15/11/2020 18:31

It's very feeble and sounds like something a bunch of small boys would think up.

Whole bloody bunch needs to grow up and start doing their jobs properly.

And no I didn't vote for them.

the80sweregreat · 15/11/2020 18:32

I've never voted Conservative, ever.
I'm in the minority where I live and amongst my family. (We don't talk about politics! )
If I were called a ' nut' I'd be so fed up and pissed off and I agree that it will stick to her forever more. It's hideous really.

KittCat · 15/11/2020 18:35

They are all pathetic Angry

oakleaffy · 15/11/2020 18:44

It's a really weak nickname.
''Princess Nut Nuts''..It doesn't even sound good, or witty.

But jolly glad Cummings is going.

ViciousJackdaw · 15/11/2020 18:47

She's had sex with Boris Johnson, I'm really not surprised her sanity is in question.

VinylDetective · 15/11/2020 18:49

@eddiemairswife

I've always thought that 'nuts' can be applied to men or women.
Of course it can. MN is obsessed with misogyny and manages to find it everywhere.
oakleaffy · 15/11/2020 18:51

A boy at our school had the surname 'Ovenden'
He was called 'Oviduct' by all the other boys, after a biology lesson and he hated it.
Nicknames aren't often flattering, sadly.

Cam77 · 15/11/2020 19:02

I think it’s a pretty good insult. Biting and amusing without being too nasty.

Cam77 · 15/11/2020 19:04

Have to give Cummings a plus one point for that one, just a shame about the whole breaking and bankrupting the country Brexit thing.
