From the boards I go on the cliquey phrase is used by people who tend to feel left out of private jokes or don't know the crowd as much as thers. Some people see it as clsong ranks n stuff from newbs.
Doesn't bother me like, It's how yah perceive it all.
get used to it, there are people on here that seem to have private little jokes (on MSN) and then laugh about it on here......you get used to ignoring it after a while

i reckon ppl use the word cliquey, when like james said a group off friends. but that group wont let anyone else in, and sometimes take the piss or get at other ppl . also one rule for them, another rule for other ppl
aha, and this is the difference - i dont believe we as a group/message board LOCK people out - we ACTIVELY encourage new people to join/meet - in fact there STILL really arent enough people who come out with us - max of 5 on weekenders ! the intention was to have like 50+

Nothing at all wrong with being cliquey, why spread yourself too thinly and hang around with people you have an ok time with when you can be close to a few?

The best actual example I can think of as a clique is from the film 'Heathers'...
James here is a longer definition from my work OED.
1. a. A small and exclusive party or set, a narrow coterie
or circle: a term of reproach or contempt, applied generally
to such as are considered to associate for unworthy or selfish
ends, or to small and select bodies who arrogate supreme authority
in matters of social status, literature, etc.
The second part is the most relevant- a 'clique' tends to be CLOSED i.e. once it's formed almost no-one can get in and furthermore those who are outside it are generally sneered at.
Being a relative virgin to the world of clubtheworld.com I can categorically say that you/we are NOT A CLIQUE-
a club, yes...
a group, yes
but not a clique...
as James says you welcome all and sundry (including my good self).
Any group of people who know each other to some extent appears a clique at first, but such is life...
P.S I am up for a weekender and could persuade some others if given enough notice (I'm away quite a bit for work and pleasure)...
p.p.s can I use italics or bold on here?

What a reply !!! Nice one mate!
