Exit, Pursued by a Bare

Someone please save me from bare/bear. It's everywhere.

I can't bare it any longer (I might get arrested😅) And don't tell me I'll get over it, because that would be a bear faced lie.

Was the head chog in tact? Was it high rate?

Just seen this on Nextdoor:

FuckThePoPo · 26/08/2024 09:24

You are always an animal unless you're naked

that's what I was taught

Hatethosedates · 26/08/2024 09:26

Had the Head chog lost he's spines?
I hope the finder went to the shop and brought him some food.

PedantScorner · 26/08/2024 09:27

The head chog did not loose he's spine's.

henrythe4th · 26/08/2024 09:29

I hope you can get some rest bite from the bare.

AgnesX · 26/08/2024 09:30

I'm not phased. (Yes, I am really!).

PedantScorner · 26/08/2024 09:31

Your just bias.

PleaseletitbeSpring · 26/08/2024 09:33

I'm gonna bare it ect ect.

SnowdaySewday · 26/08/2024 09:57

On tender hooks, waiting to hear about the head chog.

Hoping any car entering the drive managed to break in time.

Beth216 · 26/08/2024 10:31

People tend to think bear is just the animal and bare is used everywhere else. I don't think it's that unreasonable.

Hatethosedates · 26/08/2024 10:40

To all intensive purposes we are making the poor bear ( or the pour bare) an escape goat!

BabaYetu · 26/08/2024 10:45

I agree. Hence why Mumsnet is annoying!

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 26/08/2024 10:53

Thanks for the entertainment so far 😆

A couple of gems for you from the My Neighbourhood app this morning:

'They killed a defensive duck with a catapult'

'Making offensive hand jesters'

AtomHeartMotherOfGod · 26/08/2024 10:56

@PedantScorner your name is genius, and thank you for reminding me it's called Nextdoor 😂

PedantScorner · 26/08/2024 10:58

Que posting a bout it.
I like 'offensive hand jesters'!

Its defiantly unexceptable.

veritasverity · 26/08/2024 11:00

Did the bare wrote it you? Iz seen it, thats wot I dun.

Tbf I don't think on social media it really matters, it's about getting your message across. In formal writing it does matter, and when I receive a badly written report or document, or read a book which clearly needed an editor, I inwardly grown and hand half finished aforementioned book into a charity shop

Only stupid people think that and it's very unreasonable.

Funnywonder · 26/08/2024 11:27

'They killed a defensive duck with a catapult'

The duck being defensive isn't a mitigating factor. It's still murder in my book😆😆

Poor wee duck though.

Better than escape ghost!

Grimgrump · 26/08/2024 11:33

What can I say I like hare and fir ect on faces.

PedantScorner · 26/08/2024 11:58

So that's what bear-faced means. Smile
@veritasverity , it matters regardless of it being social media. More and more communication happens in an informal setting, and using the wrong words or having poor spelling and grammar doesn't create a good impression.
There are MN posts that are barely comprehendible.

I agree that it matters less on here, but I would prefer not to see things like 'What heals would compliment this dress?' or similar.

"Oh I love the name Rueben/Elouise but its my DC's name so I am bias" makes me think that the poster isn't terribly bright should have chosen a different name.

upinaballoon · 26/08/2024 12:47

I can't see how anyone would write good English in a formal setting and then type out something different on social media, unless caught out by a stubborn autocorrect.

FrillyKnickersAndNoFurCoat · 26/08/2024 12:59

The duck was invading capture. Myself and my husband couldn't catch it.

FadedRed · 26/08/2024 13:15

I could care less…

HereForTheFreeLunch · 26/08/2024 13:30

Google maps keeps telling me Bear left, bear right... but I never spot them.😔
