Clicked into this thread because the title was incomprehensible

Now I'm here the whole thread seems incomprehensible

AnyFucker · 21/02/2010 16:44

nah, not DM

not manipulative enough, just funny 'tis all

unless she suddenly develops a very overdramatic reaction to being dissed on this thread and threatens to top herself...

Okay, I have laboriously worked out what the thread title means

"AIBU for being new here and getting incredibly pissed of with what ds dd ds and all thoes lazy goobaltigoop lettering mean!!??"

0f = off
what = redundant word
thoes = these
goobaltigoop = gobbledegook
lettering = acronyms

So I think it translates into "AIBU for being new here and getting pissed off with 'ds', 'dd', and all these lazy gobbledegook acronyms"

Now I've worked out the question, I can say YABU.

anyone else remember 'mizzidee'??

Reality,i think you will,she was the one who came on as new poster with all the text speak,for which she got told off...she had a child who had apparently died...she said the word 'reframe'.....and she was so entertaining?

very similiar to this one.....very!!

quattro, well done, am impressed.

my brian is too shuddery still today to attempt that....I just clicked hoping for more clarification on the OP, and didn;t get it........read slowly inbetween MNing and answering other threads, and got to the top and reality, and had to laugh at that oh-so-smug profile.

I wondered if it were DM trying a different disguise bearing in mind how obvious she seemed to be becoming.

Cligan -

Reality - just why do you have a copy of Cligan's profile???

Can I just come to Realitys defence and say that I too have the profile open. Im not a stalker either but wanted to know more about this weird poster .So I checked the profile and ambled away once I found how strange she was. I leave tabs open until I close the browser.

LadyThompson · 21/02/2010 17:37

Why does Reality have a copy of Cligan's profile? - well, I think that's elementary, my dear Hippipotami

Dear OP - many of the acronyms used on Mumsnet are also used on many other parenting fora.

Mumsnetters shy away from my personal favouritist acronym though anyone up for a bit of BD this month ?

GoddessInTheKitchen · 21/02/2010 18:18

sassy i think you just killed the thread with BD!

SirStan - I was not accusing Reality of being a stalker, far from it... I was being tongue in cheek

But where has cligan gone??
