Phrases you hate reading on mumsnet

[Ohmycron]

I’ve been on mumsnet for about 18 years and you know what, if I read about people putting ducks in a row once more I might go mental.
What phrase do you hate.

Unmumsnetty hugs
Ltb
This too shall pass
Did you mean to be so rude?
Balonz

my own 'little' family
nibbles

@WhenISnappedAndFarted

Boils my piss.

It's revolting and there are so many better phrases that could be used.

'Grates my carrot?'

When someone barges in half way through a discussion, all clever, with a 'x is a red herring'

@eddiemairswife

"Didn't want to read and run." by people who have nothing to say, but want to sound sympathetic, (and see their name on the screen)

This ^

“I don’t have children….”
Why the f are they offering their opinion/advice then on a parenting forum. Same applies to those who have never been married.
Long marriage/relationship of 5yrs????

Call them out
Baby - as in 'baby doesn't like that' etc.
Hubster/hubby etc
So what did they say when you told them that wasn't acceptable - when it's clear that the OP was asking for advice because they hadn't said anything in a difficult situation.

"Can you link to some of these posts please?"

Obviously not

Social anxiety. So overused, when most people either mean they aren't very good with other people, or are just a bit worried about something. I immediately stop reading posts that use this phrase.

Made my teeth itch and boils my piss are horrible

I tell it like it is thankfully rarely used

"i don't mean to be rude OP"

So why the f*^% are you rude then babes, huh?

"it smacks of..." really really annoys me.

@NoWordForFluffy

'Wow. Just wow.' This one really grates on me, but I'm not sure why! 🤷‍♀️

Yes. I hate that. Also LTB as previously mentioned. HTH is also a massive MN cliche.

Seeing people write ‘you sound jealous’ ‘you sound horrible’ etc. just to be nasty.

Snacking - no, you are eating.
Howling - are you a wolf?
Nibbling - you're not a fucking mouse.
Boobing - the sort of word that 11 year old boys snigger at.
Screaming - nope, you just mean they raised their voice.
Cringey - don't even know where to start with this one.

No is a full sentence. Maybe if you’d like to look like a total knob it is but those of us who have friends would never respond in that way. It would be totally weird. I always question be social skills of those advising that.

"i have mental health" or "I have anxiety"

@donkey86

‘Picky bits’ eurgh

Oh, yes!

"Making memories"

When someone gets upset and says "I had a little cry" - just say you're upset/pissed off! A little cry just sounds pathetic

'Shaking and crying' seems to be popular.

'Boob monster'. I think you mean your baby is cluster feeding maybe.

“Doctor here”
“Teacher here”
“Accountant here”
How about “twat here!”

I was gifted

Picky bits

The number of emetophobes. No, you just don't like being sick, like every single other person.

‘you sound jealous’

Loathe this. Principally because they usually mean 'envious' 🙄 but also because people use it when the OP doesn't sound envious. At all. There was a thread years ago where the woman OP was talking about was clearly - and with the help of her mum - financially abusing some old boy, and buying Land Rovers and clothes and exotic holidays. And 70% of respondents were telling OP that she was jealous and to 'Keep her beak out' (another detested phrase).
