MN phrases that you would ban

I’ll go first.. Potty shot. 🤢 Makes me squirm. Nobody needs to be sharing their scan photos for strangers on the internet to (probably wrongly) guess their baby’s gender. The whole thing is ridiculous

‘You’ve got this’ when clearly they haven’t.

Boundaries.
Setting boundaries.
Holding boundaries.

Oh gosh yes, I got this once and I could practically hear the condescending voice that went with it.

Someone you like can still piss you right off.

It really, really annoys me every time I see it. I know it’s irrational but I just can’t help it. Exactly! You may not like their behaviour but it doesn’t mean you don’t like their entire personality.

Yes ... I meant fuck off to the far side of fuck and then fuck off some more :)

Another eye roll one

"It is not a race to the bottom"

So many phrases on MN that posters use/copy and think they look clever, when the opposite is true

How bloody "triggering" absolutely everything ever is 😤

Also how any negative behaviour is gaslighting. Anyone who is nasty is automatically being an abusive narcissist. And OP knows this as their entire family and pet hamster were all narcissists and were always gaslighting them.

“No is a complete sentence.”

No it’s not. It’s a word. A sentence is a set of words.

Soukmyfalafel · 13/07/2024 23:29

The Penis Beaker or snapped and farted club. Those threads weren't that funny.

I can't stand 'making memories' or 'tinkly laugh'.

ComeOnThenFanny · 13/07/2024 23:23

People that write out a helpful text reply for an OP as if it's the cleverest and wittiest thing ever. It never is. And if the OP was ever to use it, they'd sound like a right wanker.

The 'no is a complete sentence' nonsense. It really isn't.
Sister - "Could you do me a favour and watch the kids for me while I do a big shop?"
"No."
Sister - "Ah, ok, never mind."
It just doesn't work in normal human interaction.

All the posters with these amazing over-achieving, strapping, healthy, sports mad teenagers who never put a foot wrong. Secretly I'd much rather read about them getting smashed on MD2020 in the park and puking in the wardrobe.

Oh God, another interesting thread ruined by a couple of randoms sniping at each other.

Who’s sniping? We were having a respectful conversation as far as I was concerned. It’s called a discussion, you should try it.

We aren't sniping. I gave the other poster my thanks. MN does not allow you to see that, but thanks for chipping in anyway.

@Thedayb4youcame

So are you saying (genuine question) that "judegy" doesn't mean "judegmental", rather it's a toned-down version of it, such as when Kenwood did a Chef and a Chefette food mixer? As in, sounds the same, but one much smaller than the other, and with less force behind it.

Sorta. That’s how it seems to me.

But being judgemental is when someone is owning it and being upfront about their judgement whereas “judgy” is being two-faced: non judgmental to someone’s face but bitching behind their back in a plausibly deniable way.

Thats just my interpretation though. Don’t think the Oxford English Dictionary would recognise this 😀

And there's me thinking it was just MN laziness, such as "it's cringe" or "it's cringy", because "it's cringeworthy" just isn't what we say.

I would sooner be judgemental than "judgey", if what you say is correct. At least you know where you stand with me.

@Thedayb4youcame

Fair enough. It’s an unpleasant behaviour for sure but subtly different in my view. I would prefer someone to be openly judgmental than judgy. There’s a dishonesty and a lack of moral courage about it.

Actually I think “judgy” is quite useful because it’s “judgmental lite”: it lacks the righteousness which would make someone actually say something about it, it’s that sly, implicit judgement with a nicey nicey passive aggressive veneer.

In my world, it really isn't. It's crass. And that's me being judgemental.

"Judgey".

The word is JUDGEMENTAL , not "judgey". It is one extra syllable and there's no tax to pay on it, so you can use it for free.

Plate up. I've never heard this in real life - it's dish up everywhere I've lived, and I've lived in quite a few regions.

To me the term 'plate up' would mean putting a meal on a plate and covering in foil for someone to eat later.

ruethewhirl · 13/07/2024 12:32

Is it fuck off to the far side of fuckery then fuck off some more? Because if it’s not I have absolutely no idea. 😬😬

Ah, I think you might have nailed it 😄
