Can we be allowed to post 'oh do fuck off' in certain circumstances. Like when people post 'is that really all you have to worry about?'

Could we not have one each. Like a waiver.

Please.

Odfod Brew

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 13:14

How about 'ODFO' Thanks

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 13:16

Oh no, hang on, I am not a sweary type. Could I have a non sweary one?

Pascha · 11/02/2013 13:20

You could start off OD and end it your own way Sparkling.

ODGA - oh do go away
ODGANDATYHRT - oh do go away now dear and take your HRT
ODFSC -oh do find some compassion
ODA - oh do admit! Wink

When I was fairly new to MN (a million usernames ago now) I posted "Oh do fuck off" to a poster who was being a right mouthy horrible caaawwwwww! Then I fled the thread and was to "scared" to go back and face any music or see if I was deleted.

I've grown some since then :)

Loving ODFO - could put that to good use.

(Still disappointed HRWT (haven't read whole thread) never caught on)

'Lo everyone,

We're going to move this to site stuff in a mo, in the spirit of tidiness.

While we're "here", we should say that posting "ODFOD" on a thread is tantamount to telling someone to fuck off, and would be deletable.

We're tempted to hijack this thread into a fascinating discussion on semiotics and textual intention....but we won't Smile

Trills · 11/02/2013 16:46

Oh do go ahead on Kate S, textual intention sounds fascinating. Do they give you quizzes before you are allowed the big red button?

YouBrokeMySmoulder · 11/02/2013 16:48

But what about my shiny shit HQ? Is that to be disallowed as well?

KatieMiddleton · 11/02/2013 16:52

I may just post random letters on a thread without explanation.

Can't be deleted for being illiterate surely?

KatieMiddleton · 11/02/2013 16:53

TIMTYTFO

For example

Tantamount

Oh the hours of fun in the MN court that looms before us

Pagwatch · 11/02/2013 17:02

"But what about my shiny shit MNHQ?" is a phrase that will linger in the memory

semiotics and textual intention?

There's a friday night drunkards mistyping thread if ever I saw one.

Thing is, KateSMumsnet, that sometimes there really is absolutely nothing else to be said other than "Oh do fuck off!". You know, when a poster is being an utter arse. What are we supposed to say to those numpties?

Tumbleweed is usually incredibly vexing it you're an utter arse.

Interestingly, a huge wall of silence often provokes them to move on from utter arsiness into bannable offences.

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 17:16

I think that's where my 'pile of poo with flies round it' emoticon would be just the ticket. 'You are talking poo No swearing. Smile

nickelbabe · 11/02/2013 17:16

I just had to say "oh do fuck off" to an automated phonecall then.

bastards.

I want an ODFOD too.

nickelbabe · 11/02/2013 17:16

Sparkling - perfect :)

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 17:17

I have one on my Sky emails nickel. Comes in handy to complainy e-mails to utility companies. Grin

Sparklingbrook · 11/02/2013 17:22

Friendly smiley poo emoticon Smile For when they are just talking a bit of poo.

Absy · 11/02/2013 17:23

Please Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease can we do this? And in our personal lives as well?

Pag asked. She's the voice of reason on MN. Sometimes. I mean, she's a bit mardy at the moment but otherwise she's alright.

RustyBear · 11/02/2013 17:26

When I tried to type ODFOD, my iPad tried to autocorrect it to Oxford. Maybe we could use that as a non-deletable code....

nickelbabe · 11/02/2013 17:26

shhh, Rusty, they'll be onto you!

YouBrokeMySmoulder · 11/02/2013 17:27

I think you'll find Pag that my shiny shit lingers more than in the memory.
