WHY?? (national boards)

Why do they refer to each other as "bishes"???

There are times that I find relevant information on the national boards but man they drive me crazy.

Re: WHY?? (national boards)

  • Yeah... they pretty much make my brain hurt. Like you said, there are occasional nuggets of quality information on them, but as a whole they just seem a bit ridiculous and catty to me- and the lack of using "big girl words" makes my eyes cross!

  • LOL the group behind me is pretty bad. I'm still on 9-12 occasionally and the toddler boards, but I went back to check out 6-9 and it made my head hurt.

    ETA: There actually was a group of girls like that in R's age bracket, but they created an offboard and pretty much left TB, I was so happy!

  • Do they use "bishes" to replace "witches"? That just sounds like they have a cold and are trying to say "wishes" or "dishes."

    I don't go on the national boards. They annoy me. Not like my lovely Maine Nesties!

  • I love my national home, TIP ... but we do lovingly refer to each other as "hors" ;)

     

     

  • LOL. I have never seen the term "bishes." I really like some of the national boards, but, yeah, the baby month boards (and the tri boards) can be bad. I now try to stay away from the drama posts, but I've enjoyed reading/participating in the ones from moms dealing with the same stuff I have been going through.

    I wondered about this off board.  WTF is the point?  The drama (on the other boards) is why I stay here and don't usually go elsewhere.

    It was originally created to get away from one user and her friends that the creators deemed annoying....they then got blasted for being excluding and accepted all of them onto the offboard so it was stupid and pointless. But it cleared out a lot of people who really annoyed me so I can't complain.
