It was amusing many years ago when it was first used but now it’s just so old and a little bit lame.

When people write 'DDog'
Like I know you love your dog, but adding an extra letter?! For this dear dog, when usually these abbreviations are meant to shorten words not make them longer

@Maggiesfarm

I'll have to re-watch some Hyacinth Bucket; I honestly don't remember her saying, "Naice".
She may not have done - she's being used on this thread as an example of the type, not a source of the word, and to illustrate why it's not mocking the 'posh' but rather those who are aping it and getting it wrong

Jilly Cooper was the first time I came across it - Rivals was published in 1988, and I think the character Valerie Jones was based on one of her 'Weybridge' characters in Class (1979)

Oh I've never read Jilly Cooper. Well she obviously has a lot to answer for. Hee hee just noticed your nickname.

I'm pretty sure "naice" was a typo.
then it took off

It wasn't a typo, it wasn't just an MN thing either.
