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

‘No skin in the game’ someone used it once, suddenly, everyone has ‘no skin in the game’

’Ignore all the other posters!’ Why? What makes you think you’re the oracle?

I hate the sharing of scan pictures, they're sharing their babies genitals online willingly. Yes it's not a fully developed baby yet but it's showing a horrible lack of respect for their child's boundaries. Maybe I'm old-fashioned.

If my (now teenage) DD found out that I’d been sharing photos of her genitals online before she was born I don’t think that she would ever forgive me - I wouldn’t blame her either! Can’t believe that people think it is appropriate

'Who pissed on your chips' -it gives me a horrible mental image of some old lady wearing a headscarf peeing on a bag of chips.
