To really wish posters would stop using ‘naice’

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

I can't help it, I imagine anyone using the word "naice" as a chav queen.

It's the same with people using the word "classy". Makes me cringe.

savagebaggagemaster · 02/08/2021 18:56

'It's a wedding invitation not a summons.'
'No is a complete sentence.'

Those are far more irritating to me than 'naice'.

eightyfourandahalf · 02/08/2021 18:56

I also find it amusing when people use "dear" anything or anyone to describe someone they are having a massive fallout with especially. So twee.

YABU because its part of the lexicon of mumsnet and it is these 'idyoscynrcities' which give a sense of social cohesion to a disparate group of people.

Take away our 'naice' and you take away our shared experience.

@ToykotoLosAngeles

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

Where DD is dad or dog not daughter..

@PigeonPink

Someone wrote a shopping list including “naice ham”. A MNer found it and put a photo on here for our amusement. That was the start of things being described as “naice”. Must be years ago now!
Yes, that's how it started on here. Somebody thinking they were hilarious for taking the piss out of someone's shopping list.

Those are far more irritating to me than 'naice'.

And based on a profound misunderstanding of grammar.

oh no, it's brilliant. The amount of Dxyz that actually make 0 sense are as entertaining as child 3 (when it could mean child 3 years old, 3rd child, or child y3 confusing posters between 3 years old and year 3)

So you have an entire thread with posts talking about completely different things.

Or, by removing stupid in-jokes, you make it more inclusive.

Though, tbf, it's better now than it was in 2003-2004 when you almost had to ask the head girlz for permission to post.

KarmaStar · 02/08/2021 19:01

Ending a sentence with the question mark after the word no is much worse!😊 " Surely my advice is the best,no? ".🙈 pretension at its worst.

@MurielSpriggs

I really should stop saying it irl Grin I will be eating potted shrimp and drinking ginger beer if I'm not careful

Quarantino · 02/08/2021 19:04

DH, DD etc didn't originate with mumsnet. It's been forum-speak way before then.

Kind of tickled by the idea that someone was imagining every "naice" being said in a Scouse accent! I like "naice", it's useful and descriptive.

effiehabb · 02/08/2021 19:05

Naice ham Grin

AngryWhompingWillow · 02/08/2021 19:06

It's dreadful isn't it @WandaVision2 It makes me cringe so hard, that I won't read the rest of the post.

One thing that MASSIVELY pisses me off, is when someone says ...

'I completely agree with you angrywhompingwillow,' ...

but doesn't quote what angrywhompingwillow has said, OR say what time they said it, so you have to go and scroll back through the thread to find out what that poster said!!! Angry

There are a myriad of annoying words and phrases that a few people use on here, and I judge massively anyone who says...

Are you thick?
Are you on glue?
Do you have comprehension problems?
Are you being deliberately obtuse? (Just a way of saying 'are you thick' and staying inside the MN 'personal attack' guidelines...)
Picky bits (AWFUL saying!)
DDog, DCat, DNephew, DNiece. For FUCKS SAKE! Angry Just say, dog, cat, niece, nephew. WTF is wrong with you?! Confused
NO is a complete sentence. (It's really NOT!)

And it annoys me when posters say LTB (leave the bastard) for often things that most men do (and some women!) Like it's just THAT EASY to pack up your life into a few suitcases, and fuck off into the sunset towards a shiny new life! Hmm

Also, posters saying 'chill out' or 'calm down' or the ever condescending 'you sound angry...' to someone who is a bit annoyed about something, or a bit pissed off, REALLY fucks me off. It's SO patronising and misogynistic. . May as well say 'stop being so hysterical little wumman!'

Anyone telling me to calm down or CHILL will be duly ignored, like they deserve. Grin

True, and I used to see this on loose women forum, and also MSE, and ivillage.

No-one ever said D fucking DOG and D fucking CAT though!

I joined MN about 8 years ago and had no problem with any lack of 'inclusiveness'.

Freddiefox · 02/08/2021 19:07

Yes please and can we throw in darked on as well

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 02/08/2021 19:09

I've been here since 2010 ish I think, every so often there will be a thread complaining about the DD/Dh acronyms or on planning about specific phrases, penis beaker is a particular shitty one.

Do what I do and back out of the tread when you see something you don't like. The one that annoys me is when someone describes something with the word Think.... dh is a high earner (think 6 figure salary) DS plays a sport (think junior level training )

Just say what you want to fucking say!

FadoFado · 02/08/2021 19:09

@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 don't mind all the DH and DS stuff. The d can stand for damn/dickhead as well as dear/darling.

bongbigboobingbongbing · 02/08/2021 19:22

It's better than "utterly" and "horrid". People think they sound like Nancy Mitford but they actually sound like Violet Elizabeth Bott.

TheKeatingFive · 02/08/2021 19:24

I love naice. Particularly ‘naice ham’

Get over yourself 😂

TheKeatingFive · 02/08/2021 19:26

I’m cool with sounding like Violet Elizabeth Bott 😆
