breaking the girl code ?? wtf

I hate that phrase, I’ve no more loyalty to women than men and I’ll always put myself (or my family) first.

I hate “going forward” instead of in future or from now on.

HTH it's generally sarky and I really don't see the point of it.

Oh, and putting ,no? At the end of a statement, that give me the rage!

Reaching out

It’s intensely irritating .

YANBU. It's often used when some bloke has cheated and the woman is blamed for it.

Sense checking
Holding out
Reaching out

“Gives me the rage” instead of just “makes me angry.” Sorry.

To be pissed instead off to be pissed off

That ridiculous Lisa Armstrong kept wittering on about 'gurl code'

You left him love and he moved on. Shit happens

On a journey. No we're not on a fucking journey, we're at work. Even worse is being on a rich fucking journey. Or maybe I just work with illiterate arses?

Things that happen being a ‘journey’. Everything is a fucking journey. No it isn’t.

nonevernotever - you got there in your journey seconds before me

nonevernotever X post! Great minds.

Talk of "making" people do things, when it doesn't mean coercing.

My DH used to say: "I should have made you buy milk."

As far as I am concerned, "making" someone do something means coercing or forcing. Nobody makes me do anything. I don't mind being asked to do things such as buy milk, though.

Hate it. I have no obligations to women just because I'm a woman.

CouldntThink -

Famalam

We need to "have a conversation" about this.
A "rich" conversation is even worse.
YY to shiteness of journey.

“To be fair” I hate it everyone says it in front of every sentence

Reaching out and any other corporate bollocks. Especially when used outside work. 😠👿

'borrow me' - borrow me a fiver

'gotten' - ffs this isn't Shakespearean England, language has evolved.

@SimoneStrasser this is for you

Process something. What happened to thinking about it.

haha a 'rich conversation', I'm going to introduce that term to my vocabulary just to annoy people!!!!
Hate gotten too. It's wrong and so unnecessary. 'Got' is just fine.

To be honest with you ... I hate this, it makes it sound like you usually lie to me !!

End of.
Wow. Just wow.

The 'sweet spot' fuck off already.

can i get a latte /flat white etc. no you bloody well can't unless you are actually serving. ggrr.

Duty .. said the American way . Dudee

Touching base. Ugh.

Leaning in.

‘Right now’ at the end of sentences.
‘So’ at the beginning of sentences.

I need a shower after writing that lot <shudder>

I learned them.

No you didn't.

You taught them.

What exactly is the girl code anyway? I've only ever seen it on here and it appears to involve not sleeping with another woman's partner. Is there any more to it or is that it?

Yes I agree Iloveliberty- To be honest with you - usually used by someone untrustworthy

and Guys.
"Hi guys, what can I get you to drink?"
"You guys ready to order yet?"
Just sounds false, why not say "would you like drinks?"

‘Super’ used as an intensifier, e.g ‘I was super happy to see you’. Grrrrrr

hun

I'm not anyone's hun, if you call me hun I am definitely going to Judge you.

'At the end of the day' - often an excuse for not caring about how a result is arrived at in a moral sense, just get there, ifyswim.

Famalam

Argh that’s my new hated word.

I’ve managed to get over ‘holibobs’ but anyone who says famalam pisses me right off.

I've never heard that phrase. It sounds like something incel-types might say, about trying to 'hack into' what it is to be a girl, so they can manipulate that code in order to insert themselves.

I must add 'envisioned' - no, you didn't. 'I thought or imagined' is perfectly adequate.
Will you 'trade' - I'd prefer a good old fashioned 'swap.'

"Just saying"

Aargh. Shorthand for 'I just said something rude or offensive to you, you picked me up on it, but saying 'just saying' I am telling you I have no responsibility for actually saying it so you shouldn't have a go at me but I still think it's true and it's for your own good'

Them: 'You are a fat cow'
Me: WTF?
Them: 'Just Saying'
Me, apparently: 'Oh that's OK then, you were Just Saying it'

GRRRR.

making memories
blessed
hey guys
touching base
need to connect with you

Oh, and when did that traditional English staple Macaroni Cheese become Mac n Cheese?

I sort of like 'girl code' for girls. It was important for my DD when she was younger and didn't just involve not getting off with your friend's boyfriend or ex. It also meant looking out for each other, not leaving a friend on her own to get home, not leaving a friend drunk in a field at a festival, that sort of stuff. It gave me comfort that they were principled about looking out for each other. I've not really heard it apply to adult women.

“Makes my teeth itch” - hate it

did you mean to be so rude ? < this ggrrr - yeah, i did so what ?

A lot to unpack.

A 'pop' of colour AAAAH ; this was said on a TV interior design programme and all of us MN posters agreed how annoying it was. But it's still being said WHY????

I agree about "The end of the day" it could mean ANYTHING

youtube influencers what a load of shite that is.

'My bad'. It sounds like something only a toddler should say!

I had t heard that phrase until on MN

HOWEVER myself and my friends growing up, indeed my friends now have a moral compass that includes not screwing over women. Be it your friend or somrbe you don’t know. Man is married = no go. Man has a girlfriend = no go. Man is ex of a friend = no go.

I have had moral conversations with my daughters (late teen/early 20’s) and advise them accordingly. We don’t have a name for it rather, would you find it acceptable if someone did x, y, z to you, if not, don’t do to them.

Making sure we are all “singing from the same song sheet”. Usually said at work by our boss.....
Or “let’s do some blue sky thinking....”

It’s a hideous phrase but, I think it’s sentiment is in the right place.

For me, it’s scummy things like dating best friends ex’s & the like

I quite like “ girl code” but I think it’s only used in circles where finding a man is ranked as important.
I’ve only heard it used negatively to point out where other women are going wrong. ie immediately going out with someone your friend has just broken up with, getting off with someone you know your friend likes more etc.
Sadly I think if you use girl code it probably means you have the sort of friends that need it.

Oh, and when did that traditional English staple Macaroni Cheese become Mac n Cheese?

Yeah I’ve wondered this. Mac n cheese is an American thing and I don’t even think it’s made the same?

Sorry, read boulednegie post and this too we discuss. Very important for our daughters

People who 'turn around' every time they speak. 'I turned around and said...' or 'then she turned around and said....'

I get images of these people struggling to have conversations at all due to all the turning round.

'Apoplectic' or 'incandescent' with rage. Usually over something very minor.

'Makes my teeth itch'

'Fuming'

I think mine is really about people being dramatic rather than the actual phrases.

"Oh my days". I can't bear that nonsensical phrase!
My bad 🤬🤬

"It is what it is"

No shit.

SO!
Why is it at the beginning of a sentence?! It doesn’t belong there. It serves no purpose. It makes you sound like a YouTuber about to offer up one of their portentous (but actually pointless) confessionals. I have lost all sense of proportion about this but I want to punch people who start sentences with ‘So’.

I hate "on trend" so much. I'm not sure why but it makes me want to growl under my breath every time I read/hear it.

‘Largely’ when did this become an acceptable adverb? What was wrong with ‘mostly’. ParticulArly overused in weather forecasts e.g. it will be largely dry in the east.

Overuse of the word like. Don’t they teach adjectives in school anymore?

I’m probably being unkind but I dislike it when I ask someone how they are and they reply, ‘I’m good’ anything other than this, I’m well or really well thank you or I’m not doing so great seems to grate less on me 🤷🏼‍♀️

Myself used instead of me or I and yourself instead of you.

So this happened... with indecipherable pic underneath.

Or so it begins...

If I see anyone posting about “girl-code” I automatically assume they are 14 years old or under.

What is famalam?! I hate it already but I've no idea what it means.

I quite like 'oh my days'. Very popular with the youth in my neck of the woods but it makes them sound like my gran.

Corporate speak is my pet hate. "Let me socialise that thought with you"... Yuk.

Rant over, or worse, rant over lol.

As if the full stop at the end of the ranty paragraph wasn't indication enough.

Yes GetOff It seems to be used by almost everyone of a certain age nowadays.

A totally unnnecessary pronoun.

Anything unnecessarily cutesy.

When people describe themselves as Mama bear or similar - ugh!!!

When someone nouns a verb or verbs a noun.

EG "I'll send you an invite"
No you won't. You'll invite me by sending an invitation.

EG "This gives me the happy"
No it doesn't. It gives you happiness or makes you happy.
(Particularly annoying on FB when you then get a bunch of comments going "YAY all of the happy" and "I has the happy too!"
Bitch, you're 40, knock it off.)

I hate hate when people say "I'm not being funny but"

my friends now have a moral compass - I'd never heard that until Gordon Brown discovered his. What does it actually mean? Are you supposed to head north or is any direction OK?

"Absolutely" instead of "yes", especially in radio interviews.
"I'm good" - "no, you're not good. You may be well, but good is the last word I'd use to describe you". So far I've resisted saying this to DS!

"went" to mean "said" "She went... then I went... then she went..."

Reaching out now has a new friend - circling back. Said to me this week.

Bae, when I rule the world anyone using that word will be sentenced to twenty years hard labour, thirty if they post “bae caught me sleeping lol” along with a faked selfie of them with their eyes closed.

I find pedants quite annoying.

"No offence but..."

Literally - I literally died

No you fucking didn't.

When someone nouns a verb or verbs a noun. or worse still, creates an unnecessary new noun or verb- "expiration date" - what's wrong with "expiry"? And there's several that I can't call to mind at the moment where "ise" is added to a noun to make a verb even though the noun has been derived from a shorter and perfectly adequate verb.

The thing I dislike about the “ girl code” is that it’s another way of defining what’s acceptable “good” behaviour for females. So a single woman sleeps with a married man yet she’s the one breaking the girl code. I’ve never heard anyone mention a boys code ever - because let’s face it we expect them to behave badly or we at least are willing to accept it. I’m all for morally good behaviour for everyone but you can fuck off if you think you’re laying your girl code on me.

Other than that I hate #blessed with a passion.

As a PP said , putting No? at the end of things

But most of all the way some come at a poster as if they are cross examining her/him in a court of law !

"Making memories" makes me want to recoil inside myself it makes me cringe that much.

Loads of my friends write it on social media too so I can't express my hatred of it anywhere but here!

FIL hates the use of the word ‘issues’ instead of using ‘problems’.

Vulpine - yes, 'pissed' instead of 'pissed off' and 'fess up' instead of 'own up'.

I was in a meeting the other day when they said the sentence '...so it will be sunseted' meaning finished up.

What. The. Actual. Fuck

@wanderings Eh? I've never heard it used that way. Either it's a regional thing or your husband doesn't understand English.

Using "that's hilarious" to disagree with someone. No it's not and neither are you.

This thread seems to happen on a weekly basis. This and 'what word do you hate. I hate the word moist' followed by 387 people saying 'I hate the word moist too'.

As for 'girl code' it does sound a bit juvenile but it basically means don't be a cunt to your friends. For example, don't shag a friend's ex husband just because you can.

Anything that is followed by ".... gives me life" or some dreary statement usually regarding a minor celeb finished with "and we're here for it"

Sunseted ? loll Wtaf indeed.

BIL3 always says 'won' instead of 'beat'. As in 'I won him at squash'.

That's nice, dear. Are you going to put him on a shelf or in the cabinet?

When ordering food at a restaurant and people say “I’ll get the...”.

It’s so annoying- you won’t get anything, the server will get it for you. And what happened to please?

I think it’s an American phrase but I hear it more and more here

Anyone who calls their parents "the madre" and "the padre" ought to be shot. Looking at you DSSis (with a silent D)

I quite like "oh my days" too Wobbly

"you've won the internet today" really annoys me 😠
