H & M - The Cat, The Barber and the Argyll Pheasant Pluckers

[TheMustressMhor]

I hope I've got what everyone wants in the title of this, the twelfth thread in the series.

Nn not man

I mean, I can think of five possible words which would fit if SCOLD was an acronym.

First I ever heard of a scold's bridle. Fucking obscene.

At last, a cure for the common scold.

Someone Chastising OnLine Discussions - SCOLDs ?

I meant that that Minette Walters book was the first I had ever heard of a scold's bridle.

JulieWalters

Ah ,there we have it

chastisement for having the temerity to argue

not actually chastisement for telling someone off

good to have that cleared up by the OP

I shall bear my monika proudly ,and not neglect to bold it

SCOLD someone who has the temerity to argue

Please share acronym! Autocorrect tried to change to shag acronym...

@TheMustressMhor I realise you don't want your feet held to the fire on this topic, but your thread keeps showing up on "Active". It's hard to avoid

Minnette was my first encounter with a scolds bridle and I've got a history degree...every day is a school day...

Oh good work Stubble !

I must confess to spending some time on the bus today ( whoops ,surely I'm not a person as well ! ) trying to work out an acronym .And failing when I got to O .

It's "moniker".

Thanks OP ,good to know!

Best fun, gossippy, mad, cat filled, dare I say now and then (bitchy) thread I've seen.

Great to see it is has not been pulled ever, and kudos to OP.

As you can see I am a lurker. I enjoy reading the comments, but sometimes feel that I must get a life and let them at it!

All I will ask is to welcome others outside the original coven, and I have no doubt whatsoever that you will. It is just pure escapism for me.

On we go now.....What the heck is next?......

Signing in!

Best I could do while watching DDs horse riding lesson while being bloody freezing.

@kinsss it's like the Downton Threads that ran and ran. People got almost as impassioned about...people who were not real. Maybe the next thread should be called The Retun of Cousin Matthew!!!

Should it be "were an acroynm " rather than "was an acroynm " ?

Genuinely not sure but can see that standards must be upheld here .

I'm impressed Stubble...

little deliberate spelling mistake there for free ammunition .

Ovienna

That is such a good idea.

Harry and Meghan - The Return of Cousin Matthew

I can't wait.

Welcome to kinsss - have you a picture of a cat for us?

Is the Minnette book good? Looking for a decent read! Sounds intriguing

MurrayTheMonk - you're not my elder DS, are you? He's got a history degree and has frequently threatened to chase me around MN.
