I live in a council flat, am as cockney as they come, swear like an old docker, and like a good row, just think that I'm a bit of a fish out of water on here sometimes.

Who is that family, the "Fucking" whoevers?
Fulfords?

They swore loads and were very posh.

LetThereBeRock · 09/12/2009 15:14

The upper classes do tend to swear like troopers,that's been my experience anyway.

I don't know what "bear" is either Lizzy

I think the word "bear" just seems to go in front of everything really

and I haven't a clue what it means either.

So, just so as I know, would you say:

"Pass me my fucking bear beer"

or would bear be in front of fucking?

Or does that sentence just not work at all?

I will listen out for teenagers now, I am intrigued.
Actually, may have a squizz at my little brothers' Facebook pages, they are always saying "sick" and stuff, can't understand a thing they say.

starlight99 · 09/12/2009 15:32

I like that
"not-so-common-but-a-bit-dim-corner"
we are a club of two Lizzy,
anyone else?

I am very common. I was brought up in one of the biggest council slums in Nottingham. Not all of it, I mean, just one house. But I'm dead common. I wasn't allowed to swear when I was little because me mam would kill me if I dd. But I swear a lot now.

Never heard of bear. But the kids all say sick, sik (??) in front of everything round my way now. that's sik man. Etc.

HTH.

I am a Lady and an Honourable. But I don't make a fuss about it, who cares?

Habbibu · 09/12/2009 15:42

Hully, you ain't no lady.

Hullygully · 09/12/2009 15:44

I may not be a lady, but I really am a Lady. I have a title (but I only use it to get good tables).

Habbibu · 09/12/2009 15:44

Actually, I take that back. You are sufficiently bonkers to be a proper aristo.

wukter · 09/12/2009 15:45

Well, I am far too much of a mucksavage for MN, but will stick around anyway. There is often a nugget of sense in my unsophisticated ramblings.

Hullygully · 09/12/2009 15:46

All right then.

MrsBadger · 09/12/2009 15:49

foil?

pshaw

WhoIsAskingSantaForCake · 09/12/2009 15:52

and she sure as shit ain't honourable.

Ah the 'mumsnet is a posh pit' meme.

I liked the Tweet I saw last week: 'never got on with Mumsnet, it all seems far too 'Darling you've got Tapenade on your Gilet' for me'

Made me
