You've misunderstood
Or
You've taken it out of context
Really Asda ? Fucking really

Your gullible and being manipulated by the media (a poster said this to me today in relation to Marcus Rashford as I feel he spoke out of compassion and with integrity)

Chicchicchicchiclana · 17/06/2020 21:12

You are transphobic

Toilenstripes · 17/06/2020 21:14

Okay boomer

I was just playing devil's advocate
Well you would say that wouldn't you?
It's a slippery slope
It's just human nature isn't it?
Boys will be boys
Girls will be girls

OddBoots · 17/06/2020 21:23

What the actual...!

beepbeeprichie · 17/06/2020 21:23

Sturgeon’s favourite- I’ve been perfectly clear/ very clear/ very, very clear.....

FrameByFrame · 17/06/2020 21:30

Fact!

You can't argue with stupid.

You're boring me now.

"People are dying" - used to shut down any debate about the damage caused by lockdown.

And here are a few often used on MN:

Not this again.
Yawn.
Slightly odd first post.

Are you on glue?

Nobody has actually mentioned the famous #nodebate yet!

WarmSausageTea · 17/06/2020 21:46

End of.
Period.
Fact. (Usually used about an opinion.)
Okay Boomer.
Okay Karen/Chad. (But it’s almost always Karen.)

Generally any use (in a dismissive sense) of woke, snowflake, gammon, virtue signalling or first world problem.

Whataboutery.

"It's hurtful to read this"

utterflapdoodle · 17/06/2020 21:49

I researched it on the internet!

wanderings · 17/06/2020 21:51

Boris said so, or Boris was perfectly clear.

This was often said on MN in the early days of lockdown; thankfully MN have moved away from that, and are now finally frothing at the government, instead of frothing about whether their neighbours were buying Easter eggs.

ARoseInHarlem · 17/06/2020 21:59

Brexit means Brexit (sure, but what IS Brexit)

That’s what I said (when it wasn’t, but actually what they meant)

These days, when it comes to Donald Trump, frankly anything completely made up, and/or unrelated, and/or astonishingly stupid. Can’t argue with stupid

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 17/06/2020 22:22

You're literally killing people
You're denying my existence
Your words will make someone commit suicide
Etc etc

Greysparkles · 17/06/2020 22:24

OK, I'll bite

You are entitled to your opinion.

OddBoots · 18/06/2020 06:38

@MrFaceyRomford

You are entitled to your opinion.
I've not found that to be said anything like as often as it used to be, these days fewer people seem able to accept that, even grudgingly.
GnomeOrMistAndIceGuy · 18/06/2020 06:46

I can't even.

ItsNotAboutTheChocolate · 18/06/2020 06:54

Hysteria doesn't help / no need to be hysterical
