To be annoyed that my f''riend'' called me a ...?

Spinster?

Horrible word anyway. I find it really sexist and prefer the term bachelorette.

I put her straight and told her what I thought of the term and that I couldn't be a spinster anyway as i have a child. Also, if she is a friend she shouldn't make snide comments.

She is single AND childless.

This friend always puts me down subtely so i may have to call time.

Sorry bizarre thread title.

To be annoyed that my friend called me a spinster.

Typing with a toddler wrestling with my boobs is a nightmare!

What the hell is a bachelorette?

it'a a tiny cup-a-soup

Do you spin wool? Maybe that's what she meant. If not YANBU.

However if you do YABU.

And maybe she chooses to be single - and childless.

Spinster is awful, but then "bachelorette" ain't much better really. Why do you need a term for what you are? Aren't you just single?

she sounds like a right meany.

You are right in that the image of a spinster does not include cheery ankle-biters all over the shop

Is she the same age as you? Um she's the spinster. While you are not only not a spinster, you are also posh, I hear

YANBU why do you see her?

Is Bachelorette a patch you stick on your arm that smells of unwashed socks and snores at night....to let you know what you're missing?

ROFL at NoBiggy

Spinster? Nah. Bachelorette? Big fat nay.

Posh Single Mum? Bloody marvellous

a spinster is someone who has never been married

generally an elderly someone

Isn't a spinster a skinny bitter old aunt who never married, has no children and is ver ver rich?

Is that you????

If so, YABU

SPINSTER OF THIS PARISH!

How you're described when the vicar reads the Banns.

Unless they've adopted bachelorette in the last 25 years.

A spinster is only very rich though Connie as she has no children. She would be a pauper if she was a mother!
