Passing fads of Mumsnet.

[TooOldForThisWhoCares]

I'm just watching Brian Cox on bbc2 and remembering when he first appeared on t'telly and MN went mad for him. Half proclaiming him God's gift and the other half claiming he had a "sinister smile" or hating the way he always seemed to be saying "billyons and billyons".

Then there was the MN scarf, the MN haircut...
What other passing fads of MN do you remember?

Not so much fads as phrases and certain words. You see people using new terms which suddenly take off out of nowhere, then it dies again.

"Give your head a wobble" is a current one. Which is the worst phrase ever.

Can't stand Brian Cox though, just had to turn tv off

Hating on Cadbury’s chocolate especially diary milk. It’s like a right of passage to post ‘is it just me or is chocolate disgusting now?’

Steam mops and those new fangled pressure cookers.

(Brian Cox does have a creepy smile)

That bloody big hair brush thing. Absolute rubbish on my hair.

There's the annual cycles too. We're brewing for peak wedding season. Then the autumn will build up with Christmas.

August will see disbelief at Scottish posters posting their school related issues.

Gina Ford, oil cleansing, Boden, pressure cookers, Did you Mean to be so Rude, No is a complete sentence, maxi-dresses. All Been & Gone.

Carbs=evil, Obsession with personal or household cleanliness, strip washing are all current. I think those will fade eventually.

Waitrose baby bottom butter. Was a wind-up we found out after. Still we all had beautifully soft elbows once our pores were all clogged.

People being irked.

Zoflora I hope has passed. I proper gagged on that shit and £1 for a tiny bottle that smells like your nanas air cupboard? No thanks!
