to feel nauseous when people are described as having "ishoos"?

[IAteRosemaryConleyForBreakfast]

It brings textspeak, illiterate teenagers and unfortunate body piercings to mind. Mainly because my slightly unstable emo sister uses the 'word' with alarming frequency.

Must we stand by and allow such language on Mumsnet? [pedant]

YANBU - it gets to me also

Yes, it climbs aboard my tits and settles there, too!

I think maybe you have ishoos?

No I love it.

It's ironic, isn't it?

Is it the concept you dislike, or the cute misspelling?

I don't object to someone having Issues

Why ishoos though?

It's the "cute" [retch] misspelling.

I quite like ishoos.

You've missed the point of it, I think.

If I say someone's got "ishoos", it's said in a Les Dawson-esque bosom-hitching pisstakey fashion.

It's more of a dig at the person with said ishoos - see?

It just irks me.

Like many things irk me totally irrationally.

I realise the context it's used in, I just loathe seeing it.

Maybe this was one for pedant's corner

It takes me long enough to think around the acronyms, let alone cutesy spellings. And while we're on the subject, I don't mind a good old swear sometimes, but not all over perfectly nice websites. I think the language is atrocious.

Perhaps we should have longhand traditional mondays, txt spk toosdy, AW (acronym wednesday), pikey f**kin' firsdee, and friday just let the boozers take over

Actually, yes. Let's go to pedant's corner. I'm getting old.

DP and I both had a good LOL at your AW suggestion, M7

When I joined I was on a thread for hours, and then had to ask what an OP was because I'd got it into my head it meant single parent. What a P

My God, Mag, your hypocrisy is breathtaking!

Can I firmly state that on a recent thread I was being ironic re Magnificent7's previous comments re what she described as an op's issues- I would never use the word without provocation - it makes me want to run away too.

That's the sound of me missing something...!

Oh hello desi. Didn't noticed you'd posted here. I thought that was a nice turn of phrase about your tits. Much more amusing. Now don't start any of your nasty swearing here. We're trying to be clever and funny. You have a go.

And did I miss something ? Have we issues about 'ishoos' or is the issue over 'issues'. Pass the tissues, his shoes, etc

TheMag7 has just told me to fuck off on another thread.

Now I don't mind that, particularly, but the hypocrisy is a little hard to take, especially as there was no swearing from me.

[coughs nervously and backs out of thread]

maes me lol when someone says it, i love it.

Erm...and I quote..."b. Andy Murray is a c*t". Did you not know that c*t is a very nasty word. Its no wonder you can't get a book published is it?

You've got ishoos love. Now far cough.

And, for those with difficulty understanding, whwnver I repeat or emphasise with any swearwords, they are always starred out. I wouldn't have a t-shirt made or anything...
