Le’ts once again take the time to celebrate the non-famous but frequent posters who make DCUM so memorable. Whether it is anecdote repeaters, predictable opinionaters or one-thread wonders, who are your favorite people in the neighborhood?
We’re not talking about DCUM Legends like Bobcat Girl, Lightly Fried Tuna Lady, or Burgundy Washcloth. We’re talking about the posters maybe only you “recognize,” or particularly enjoyable one-off threads. Or the posters you know will manifest the second anyone discusses certain words or phrases.

I know it’s several posters, but I think the same people who say “grands” for “grandchildren” are the same people who say “gift” instead of “give.”
“I gifted our grands new bikes for Christmas.” Shudder. |

The littles poster who think only one person is annoyed by her use of the term "littles". |

+1. I’d also like to add: people who can’t seem to understand when more than one person are disagreeing with them, so they accuse others of sockpuppeting or being the OP posting yet again or something. Just accept that people don’t agree with you. It’s not a conspiracy or trolling, really. |

The Charcuterie Board lady.
What food for a 5 yr old bday party? Food to eat on a long road trip? Meal ideas for savagely hungry teens? Pool potluck ideas? A side dish for XYZ-type dinner? A post hike lunch with only a yeti cooler? The answer is always: Charcuterie board |

Yes to this. The littles posters also seem to not understand that the anonymous nature of DCUM means that using cutesy language is always going to be less well received than it might be in a text to friends or when posting on Facebook. Those people know you, and may either share your affection for these terms or simply be willing to overlook it because they know and like you. On DCUM, you are what you post. When you post comments about your kids and refer to them as "littles", other posters know nothing else about you, and you come off to a lot of people as unserious, twee, and a little dumb. The lack of self awareness there is almost as annoying as the terms themselves. |

| “Holy X Batman!” I haven’t seen this in awhile, but for a stretch there, this was a common refrain on many posts. |
