A Tinder user was left shocked after she was branded a 's**t' by a man who was less than impressed with her attempt at a light-hearted ice-breaker

After matching with the potential partner on the dating app, Chloe Lucas tried to keep conversation flowing by joking that her friends called her the 'Duke of York' because she has 'had ten thousand men', in a lewd take on the nursery rhyme.

But the man failed to see the funny side of Chloe's play on words and sent the cruel response: 'Wow s***t'.

Retail worker Chloe, from Sheffield, shared the remarkable exchange on Twitter, where it has garnered 119,000 likes, 18,000 retweets and hundreds of comments.

Speaking to Pretty 52 about the exchange, Chloe said: 'Lads say they want a girl with banter then you give it to them, and they don't know what to do or they take it literally, so I like giving it to them because they get a bit awkward.

'I sent it to my friends because I do it quite often, just have a silly conversation and put it in the group chat and then my friends told me to tweet it and I said no, but they said if I didn't then they would, so I just did it.

'This is the first time I've used that line, it just kind of came to my head but I could easily do a whole thread of awkward conversations with lads, it's so bad.'
