    I always refer to people on here as 'my moneysaving friends'. So I'll be telling DH something, and it will be "You know my moneysaving friend who [describe situation], well, you'll never GUESS what's happened now!"

    I don't like either but voted for Forumites as the lesser of two evils.

    Ok so I've decided and voted for Forumite too. Only because it rhymes with kryptonite. :cool:

    Which always reminds me of Scientology :o

    I think Forumite is easier to 'read' and 'say' than Forumer which gives me the feeling I wouldn't know when to stop saying or spelling it - a bit like Mississississippippi.

    Kryptonite and scientology? That's a strange combination, lol. Unless those peeps have started believing good old Clark Kent is real and changes into tights and overpants, and dreads the green rock. :p

    It totally depends on which board you happen to be reading at the time.

    In which case there are a few more f names I could dream up :D
    There used to be a street named after Chuck Norris, but it was changed because nobody crosses Chuck Norris and lives.
