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.

Whilst we're talking about things that we find irrationally annoying, can I tentatively add women who say 'I faint at the sight of blood'? I can't quite get my head around that. How do they manage periods?

I can understand people who don't like gore, injuries, broken bones etc. Even sporners aren't going to caper gleefully at a double fracture or a wound down to the bone. But I kind of lump women who fall into a swoon at the sight of blood in the same category as women who say 'naice' in real life.

@Rubyupbeat

OP.....thank you. I keep wanting to post the same. It's a bloody stupid word and usually used by posters trying to be boastful.

It's a joke word that actually implies this is not the norm for them.

[quote Sparklingbrook]@feelingmehtoday it's in Classics unbelievably. But i really wouldn't bother. [/quote]

I had a little gander. I wish I hadn't 😂

I agree @DrSbaitso it indicates something a step up from the norm and not 'boastful' in any way.

Also find people who bang on about people having no posting history really irritating, like it’s some exclusive club and if you don’t know about penis beaker you’re an outsider.

I’m one of those who will bang on about posting history.

Fuck all to do with exclusive clubs or mn royalty or whatever is the term du jour.

More to do with those who are hairy handed or those who whip folk into a frenzy just for the sport or those who are trying to get stories for papers or tv.

When someone who has no posting history creates posts mentioning something sexual at the witching hour, I tend to think they are just looking for something to rub to.

And many posters oblige. It makes me uncomfortable that someone sharing their own personal story is just providing someone with wankfodder.

It makes me wary. I just wish it would make others wary too.

@Username91

Oh god I hate it! That and all the ‘hilarious’ jokes about washing left out overnight. Mumsnet can be so brilliant with great advice, support and thought provoking conversations but then stuff like that is just tragic. Also find people who bang on about people having no posting history really irritating, like it’s some exclusive club and if you don’t know about penis beaker you’re an outsider.

I fucking cringe at the darked on and spider willies bollocks re leaving washing out overnight - it's all a bit pathetic but some people find it hilarious judging by the number of fucking shit posts about it

I’ll also add people who still think that MN is a tiny, private little corner of the internet which barely anyone has access to and should definitely not have stories lifted out and put in to trash papers. People pour their heart out in very identifying ways and with lots of personal details then seem very affronted that the Daily Mail can “steal” stories and that they very definitely shouldn’t.

It’s a public website, papers can republish whatever they want.

I’m one of those who will bang on about posting history

you only remind me to change my user name. It's so ridiculous that it makes posters wary that someone will go through their entire posting history and try to identify or find inconsistencies - and most posters change minor details to avoid being recognised.

It's an anonymous forum with THOUSANDS of posters. If you are that precious, stick to a private group somewhere. A posting history never meant someone is "safe" anyway. The "safety" of MN bubble is ridiculous.

Not entire posting history.

That isn’t what I meant and you know it.

But if someone mentions masturbation/sex/or similar at 0030 with only that post under their user name, I will think troll.

And precious? No.

Just not into providing wankfodder for trolls. To do that is ridiculous.

An anonymous forum? You don’t say

ot entire posting history.

That isn’t what I meant and you know it.

HOW do you know if someone just changed their username or is new?

The self-appointed thread-police is boring. Either apply for a job at MNHQ, report who you think is a troll, or get off your high horse.

No one is forcing you to look let alone reply to "trolls".... You give yourself far too much importance on this forum.

Indeed shirley

If it isn’t the papers, then it is one of the morning chat shows.

I understand that some folk need space to vent but do they really need to post diagrams/texts with bits scribbled out or similar identifying details or pictures?

Nope.

@NaiceViper

It's a Jilly Cooper term, isn't it? Or at least that's where I first came across it. Valerie Jones in Rivals

I like Jilly threads!!

Ooh, we've not had a really good Jilly thread for a while. Someone needs to get her silver flying suit on...

I find the posters obsessed with "hair hands" and sexual content very creepy frankly.

I don’t give myself any importance at all. 🤷‍♀️. Nor do I have a high horse.

And I don’t know if anyone is new or has name changed. How would I? I’m just saying that one thing I would not do is to respond to a dubious looking post at silly o’clock in the morning.

I do report them though.

That is your right.

But I would rather be wary of trolls than not.

Can we add 'amazing', 'big' and 'little' to the list? Just because they are over-run.

I think @SheldonesqueTheBstard is right about sexual content by trolls with no posting history, give them a wide berth, and hide the thread. Nothing creepy at all about not engaging with them.

Why is there an AS function where you can put in a poster's NN if we aren't meant to use it?

@Sparklingbrook

I agree *@DrSbaitso* it indicates something a step up from the norm and not 'boastful' in any way.

Exactly. Some people seem to be having trouble understanding the meaning and context of it

It's not that deep. Now there's a irritating phrase!

'Underthinking' that's quite an irritating one. 'You thicko' goes against TGs I suppose.

Oh and any kind of 'police' be it thread/food/carb. as in 'oh here come the food police'. makes me

Yep I’m a big fan of the AS function

There is a thread atm (parking related) which seems a bit far fetched and is at 1000 posts and a second thread. An AS shows the poster to have another similar one with 1000 posts and another new thread. I always think anything which runs to 1000 posts is pretty much a troll thread, even if it started in truth they always seem to get much more exciting as time goes on

I'm possibly the only person this annoys but I cannot stand it when people demand a diagram, usually on a parking thread or anything involving more than one movable object. "We need a diagram OP" - why? why the fuck do you need a diagram before you can comprehend the concept of a car parked outside a house ? I stop reading a thread as soon as diagrams are mentioned.

I happened to say on one of the recent spate of (a bajillion) parking threads. 'Why do we need a diagram it's very straightforward?' . Well-everyone went nuts! I was told that if I could envisage it that well then maybe I should draw a diagram. No diagram was needed. So weird.

@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.

Yes!!! I agree. Was a whole joke thread about it the other day, not in the slightest way funny unless your sense of humour is 'Terry & June' or 'Mrs Browns boys'

V childish

^^ Parking threads, unless you have absolutely no inner thought process why on earth do you need a diagram???

Apparently a diagram is 'MN rules' with a parking thread. I worry about people possibly being unable to read a book without pictures.

Anyway, as I learnt don't point out a diagram isn't necessary because you get a right backlash.
