I haven't read the whole thread I am so important I don't care if this has been said fifty times already, it's not been said until I've said it.

AIBU? give me some sympathy and agree with me

I don't mean any offence but... I am a twat

I'm not being rude but... I am a twat

There must be more. Snark away...

You mean when ::gavel:: is used by me, right MaryZ? Because when it's used by you, well I don't want to call you a...you know...

Your baby your rules = I can't be arsed to formulate a reasoned argument, but just wanted to spout some supportive sounding nonsense

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:21

Norks I think there are plenty of generic phrases to translate without resorting to phrases used by specific posters.

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 22:39

Where did Norks do that?

lougle · 04/04/2013 22:41

Post of 22:17, Tee.

Tee2072 · 04/04/2013 22:43

Hmm seriously?

lougle · 04/04/2013 22:45

Yes.

All the other ones Norks suggested are great, though Smile

Which one? The island thing? If that's real and specific? The poster is a twat.

::gavel::

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:51

I have no idea what you could possibly be talking about lougle I think I have described generic types fairly accurately. Maybe I have conflated several ideas into one sentence and it reminds you of someone, but that is a mere coincidence.

I am not a troll=I am a troll

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:52

tee :o

lougle · 04/04/2013 22:53

What the poster is, is irrelevant, though, isn't it? Still not on to attack a poster personally. But let's not analyse the rights and wrongs and derail this very funny thread Smile

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 22:53

Mumsnet royalty= people I don't know but everyone else seems to.

Oh dear, I seem to be on a roll here.
Please will someone put me to bed?

BOF · 04/04/2013 22:59

"Good evening ladies" = I am a humungous bellend, and about to patronise the fuck out of you all while I masturbate.

Ooh, yes BOF...

"as a mere male" = 'as your natural superior, I will now mansplain'

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 23:03

'spirited DC' = middle class for 'naughty'

AvrilPoisson · 04/04/2013 23:06

"Speaking as a woman" = MRA using a simpering girly pseudonym eg SassySusie, FeistyFiona

AvrilPoisson · 04/04/2013 23:07

I don't have a television= I am better than yow

NorksAreMessy · 04/04/2013 23:10

Yes avril and that goes for all the 'always buy organic' ; 'never eat at Greggs'; 'would rather have no meat if it wasn't free range' crowd.

I really do need to go to bed. Am getting grumpy

lougle · 04/04/2013 23:10

I stand by my principled objection, Maryz . Although I can't disagree with anything anyone has said either.

'My DD was enjoying an organic fruit juice and a savoury pastry, when...' = 'DD was chowing down a fruit shoot and a Greggs sausage roll, when....'

lougle · 04/04/2013 23:11
