Inspired by a mumsnetter's used of a passive aggressive the other evening.

(sorry don't remember who but i think it was the troll/mn awards thread) that i assume got deleted.

I sometimes use when i mean [ohdofuckoff]

or when i mean, [iknowit'seasytomisinterpretwhatpeoplearesayingonlinewithoutfacialexpressionortoneofvoicebutpleasebe lievemeiamteasingyouinafriendlyway]

what do you mean?

definately means fuck right off.
[] is usually I think that post is funny. But sometimes it's code for I'm trying to be funny.
And you're right re .
[] is I may sound like I'm being a bitch but that's really not the spirit in which it was meant.

Hmm. I come from the Arnie Schwarzeneggar School of Expression.

I use when I am angry.

I use when I am shocked.

I use whenever I recall Clive James' words, that Arnie is like a brown condom filled with walnuts.

MonstrousMerryHenry · 15/10/2009 21:45

I think that sounded funnier in my head.

DungeonButter · 15/10/2009 21:47

doesn't always mean fuck right off. Most of the time yeah, but I've just used it in a non-fuck right off way

QueenOfFrighteningEveryone · 15/10/2009 21:54

can also mean what the fuck?

DungeonButter · 15/10/2009 22:05

true. it can be a polite, 'do continue cause it's not making much sense right now'.
