To really wish posters would stop using ‘naice’

[WandaVision2]

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

I think it was originally a typo - someone talked about "naice ham" and it just sort of took off.

I understand naice but is 'washing left out overnight' a MN euphemism?

Naice is Hyacinth Bucket snobby sort of nice.

I think someone left their washing out overnight and became anxious that it needed to be rewashed.

Least of the problems! There's the judgemental "grim" for people who only scrub their house with Dettol morning and noon, and are too lazy to do it at night. There's the passive-aggressive "crack on" for anything from visiting London to oral sex that Mumsnet disapproves of. There's a stupid biscuit hieroglyphic that no one actually understands, but it's gone on too long for anyone to say so. And then there's calling everyone darling from husband to the fucking cat.

Any amount of 'naice' is better than a text wall without paragraphs or adequate punctuation. I can't read those.

I've got used to the swearing. I have been known to join in.

This made me laugh, not least as it's so true.

I have been on MN for 20 years and the washing-out-overnight thing evidently passed me by. I am clearly not interested in threads about laundry because I'm grim

@Zarene

I don't mind it.

The inanities about leaving washing overnight makes me cringe though. No idea why it's considered funny by anyone over 6.

I agree.

@Maggiesfarm

I don't get it. I presume it's taking the mick out of Merseyside accents but that wears a bit thin after a while and is basically quite rude.

No it really isn’t it’s when MN was obsessed with finding shopping lists left by shoppers and one had ‘naive ham’ written on it.

It ‘nice’ said with a posh accent.

Naice not naive

@SquirryTheSquirrel

What's the difference between naice and nice then?

Naice is naicer.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think it's got more to do with taking the piss out of the accent of naice ladies like Celia Johnson in Brief Encounter who think that "eye" vowel sounds are really rather vulgar. (I think it's ok for common people to laugh at the way posh people talk, but not the other way round.)

It's 'nice' said with an over-enunciated voice of someibe trying to be 'posh' but not doing it quite right

It annoys me because I've no idea how to say/pronounce it when I come across it. So it ruins the flow when I'm reading a post.

Another thread has been started, someone asking how to dry swimming stuff in a "naice hotel"!

@Chunkymenrock

Its awful, I agree. Can't stand 'vair' either. Also all the 'D' this, that and the other. Just say my H, my S, my SD etc.

I'm with you on that. Absolutely loathe the D this D that bollocks. DDog, DNephew, what the fuck, just stop.

It's an in joke. All communities have them.

It would be naice if people with any sort of posting history would post today.

It isn’t naice to keep reading whining posts by ftp/ncers.

To read sensible posts by folk who didn’t need Immac mittens or a kick up the arse would be very naice.

The washing thing is because someone sarcastically intoned that the laundry had been "darked on" i.e. that the OP was being ridiculous in rewashing. And then something about spiders dragging willies across it all.

I never realised people had a problem with gosh. What is wrong with it?

I agree with PP that it's useful shorthand. It's also far, far less irritating than 'cancel the cheque' or 'are you on glue?' both of which make my innards clench when I read them.

DH, DS etc are twee and tedious and do not make posts easier to read (particularly the lengthy ones).

It's very Enid Blyton. "Fuck me" is much more a la mode.

Chill @WandaVision2

You probably don't like that either!

The worst is bloody DS used for sister and not son. "My DS doesn't like my DH" takes on an entirely different significance.

I must admit I miss the days of shopping lists being posted. The last time I remember one being posted it turned into a complete bunfight with all sorts of accusations being thrown around. I was .
