Have at them.

And his chorizo.

@menopausalfart thankyou.🙏 I'm usually pretty up to speed on my knowledge of language but this one has completely passed me by 🤦‍♀️.Just did an internet search ref definition.

How can one get to 40 odd and not know this 😬. I can't answer that, but MN is a learning curve daily - in a good way 😁. I'll change to something more fitting for Polly in my original scathing.

Surprised the producers allowed that in...well, maybe I'm not surprised based on what we're seeing.

I maintain my unpopular belief that Hannah is alright; I like her- she's genuine. Steven scares the shit out of me. He's given her a cold shoulder for days now- I think she's bearing up well considering
Polly-ugh! mega beeyatch- she would run you down as soon as your back was turned. In the trailer for tomorrow it looks like she's setting up monkeys to fly at poor Hannah.
I think Amy is lovely- not much coverage at the moment- and Gaston, I'm also warming to; he's reining the schmooze in so that's good.

@Tittat50 😘I wouldn't know either If I didn't have my daughter. I don't believe in jumping down people's throats when it's used as how would you know unless you've been told?

Hannah and Stephen should have gone home. I don't like either of them. They're never going to get anywhere so why pretend otherwise?

I feel a bit uncomfortable with bin-man. I want to like him but he's quite abrupt- if that's the right word. Someone said prison vibes and I'm afraid I agree. I really want to be wrong though. I think Shannon's lovely.

@BustyCrustacean I understand your observations ref Hannah. Someone else on here highlighted how her behaviour makes her prime to be other people's scapegoat. I agree. It's a bit like Charlie; the wronguns see how these personality types trip themselves up with very overt behaviour and then are drawn like magnets. They're easy to blame.

Shit4kids can sit back and say, oh look at her,she's crazy, and divert any attention away from himself. I imagine this has happened many times to Hannah in her life.

I still find Hannah very unlikeable and she did make a big error referencing his secret. The threat of it was enough and I find that difficult to accept.

Shit4kids clearly has issues with boundaries also, ( well he's on MAFS for a start), but divulging something so personal about your kids I imagine, to a complete stranger who is a bit nutty, is not respectful or protective of his kids and their mum.

My conclusion is that they're both the sort id keep at a gigantic arms length.

I've had to report myself for editing - but MN are used to me by now thanks to this thread 🤷‍♀️😁.

😂

I'm also now of the feeling that bin man is not genuine. I was suckered in when he told his story but I wonder if Shchhgddxynons original sense about him was right. She seems really enamoured by him which makes me hope he isn't going to be a player.

Just caught up, what a mess! Can't wait for tonight's episode ☺️

When Hannah flounced off in the preview muttering ‘get me off this fucking tv show’ or somesuch it just yelled to me that she isn’t there to find love.

Yes it is a tv show. But why would that be easier to trip off the lips than ‘I’ve had enough - I’m leaving’?

She was the one to write stay, even though he is clearly not interested, fuming, etc. I stand by my observation that she is a fame hoor.

Not anything wrong with that. But don’t make on you are there for love.

We are not stupid. Even if everyone reckons we button up the back for watching and hoping for love to happen.

I'm still open to the possibility that Polly has drugged, cloned or partial lobotomised Shitlid and that might explain the complete personality transplant. It's too much for me to consider that they aren't all in it for lurve.

My capacity for denial is strong and this is my life right now. So I'm going to look for signs from Shitlid at the retreat. I mean if he really needs to be rescued and whisked away to Skeggy for his own protection then there may just may be a perimenopausal sofa dwelling MAFS obsessed lady willing to help him. 😬😁

I think Shitlid (love how my phone capitalised it 😂) will have to join the Ming dynasty in the witness protection programme after this ends and Polly starts stalking him.

Cretinism is CIDs - congenital Iodine Deficiency Syndrome. It’s less common these days in developed countries and develops in utero and with neonates. It can cause severe learning difficulties, stunted physical and mental growth, deaf mutism, face and head deformities. So no, not a nice name to call anyone.

🤣 you know there will be plenty of takers for the lid in search of their 5 minutes of fame sadly. Although god help anyone who takes on Shitlid with Polly as ( I imagine) the soon to be ex 😬

@AtlasPine I imagine there will be a multitude of people out there who were not aware. All those none the wise will hopefully have an education from this and no longer use it as part of their vocabulary. I imagine there will be some fall out now that Richelle has called him that on TV! We'd hope so, but again, they're letting alot of unpalatable stuff go on this series.

I don't think anyone uses it like this though.

For some reason we allow 'idiot' still even though that's a medical term too.

Words and language evolve.

I don't want to run out of decent insults! Life is boring enough

@gonnabeteoubleemma I don't think we need worry about the lack of vocabulary to insult participants on this thread. I think we'll be ok.
( quietly slopes off hoping Satan hasn't seen my MAFS posts thus far......)

Oh, thanks, Jane. I didn’t realise he knew BSL, I’ll find something else to be annoyed about as that’s quite sweet of Mrs Ross whose name I cannot seem to remember.

there are plenty of other things to be annoyed about in this programme!

That's the beauty of our language, it evolves.

I'm looking forward to tonight's shenanigans. Hopefully, some of them will bugger off after they've had their outing.

I think the premise was that he could help her to learn it and show her willingness to do so. He communicates verbally but also through sign so it would allow her to access that method of communication too. He was lip reading Paul when on the couch.

@Combattingthemoaners It was such a great gesture on her part. He did look a bit miffed at first though. I'm sure he was hoping for something a little more sexy.

I thought it was a nice gesture too. We have deafness in our family and anyone taking the time to understand or make communication easier for them would always be appreciated.

No matter what happens, I really need Shitlid to stay! I appreciate it will be catastrophic for Polly, but I want Shitlid to try and woo another bride and I can watch the fall out.

I'm finding I just can't see who Ross is or what he's about. Is it the editing or the lack of screen time? I first thought is this because he communicates differently but then thought well they aren't showing us anything - or he isn't saying enough of interest to them to film? I forgot he had a daughter but with the exception of Holly and 4kids, I forget who has kids.

They seem to zone in on one then leave important details out about another and then mish mash it all together and we're left feeling incredibly confused. I feel a bit unsure about Sasha too and who she is. It might again be the editing or is she just one dimensional or is it because I'm so obsessed by the Ming dynasty that I can only think of them when I see her?

What took me aback was Rochelle's tone and the proportionality when she said it. Cretin is a stronger insult than 'idiot', maybe by virtue of just being less frequently used but she also almost spat it. Their relationship is the strangest I think I've ever seen on there. I don't think she's completely delusional and something has been said or done to worry her (whether or not justified) but we've no idea what!!
