Forum speak

[suechu]

On another forum, I jokily corrected another poster on a particular point, and she posted the word 'Thud'. Is she getting at me for being picky, does the 'thud' refer to her dropping dead with shock at my pernicketyness?

Am I being paranoid???????

[suechu]

thud

[squarebear]

Yes, it's usually the sound of someone's head hitting the desk in disbelief.

[shoota]

Thud..........jokily!

[Booldawg]

twang!

[suechu]

Damn! So she was ticking me off. The site I'm referring to is incredibly cliquey, that'll teach me - I'm obviously not one of the enclave.

[Booldawg]

LOL, what forum is this? I reckon we should all crash in there and take it for our own!

[rowanwitch]

Not mumsnet by anychance?

[chelle7272]

lol rowan - pretty good guess I reckon....

[suechu]

No, not mumsnet, it's The Archers messageboard/Discuss The Archers/The creepiest couple evva (which refers to Will Grundy and Nic and creepy they really are)

I've actually lightly apologised to the poster concerned, don't suppose she'll deign to acknowledge it though.

A cliquey forum? Shurely shome mishtake...

[andrew1707]

What about "Thwack" what does that mean?

[wolf63]

Thwack is the nice noise you get when you hit an annoying male sibling.

This is slowly turning into a Batman sound effects thread.

<-- waits for someone to say "kapow" ;-)

Cliquey indeed, Mark. The AB site isn't which makes a refreshing change.

[suechu]

Oh ok (for anyone who really cares!) she's saying she didn't mean it like that! Honestly, back to the playground children.

[chi-chi66]

She probably had passed out..//thud//...frightened by the image of rubber hose and bunsen burner!!! haha

[suechu]

Indeed chi-chi. One might well wonder how a thread about Archers characters degenerated into a discussion on Cherie Blair's contraceptive equipment, not to mention her 'nether regions'. Eeeek

[Booldawg]

So Batman came up to me & he hit me over the head with a vase & he went T'PAU! I said "Don't you mean KAPOW?? He said "No, I've got china in my hand."

[suechu]

haha, love it Booldawg.
