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.

Bun fight is an argument on a thread so the throwing back and forth of insults. I've no idea where it came from

"Making memories". Just horrible. Go out, do nice things, have fun, take pictures etc.

Utterly terrified

@BiscuitLover3678

What on earth is a bun fight ?

When I was a girl it was a (children’s) tea party. On here it seems to mean a ‘pile on’ or a lot of abuse flying around.

When people refer to their child's body parts as tiny

“Teeny tiny” to describe anyone with a dress size less than 12.

This isn't a phrase and it's unfair but people referring to three and four year olds as toddlers really bugs me.

Educate yourself.
Admittedly, not just a Mumsnet one but on social media too. It sounds so self important. It's like anyone who doesn't agree with them needs to be re-educated.

People calling themselves "myself" but that's not just on mn. I've even head it in songs. Just say ME or I ffs!

"It is what it is."

WHAT is what WHAT is??!

@LizBennet

Cancel the cheque Any reference to Snapped and Farted 😑 CF

In the bin please 👍🏼

I don’t know the fart one luckily

“I was sat”
“I was stood”

Learn some grammar.

‘so dramatic’

When they are usually just giving their point of view!

The boiling of piss is revolting phrase and very visual. I imagine some angry face stirring a bubbling vat of their own piss and muttering profanities.

Passed. It’s just means go and rethink it until you agree with me.

There is always a poster, usually about the third that will ask 'are you usually...' or 'is he normally this...' as some sort of passive aggressive comment on someone in the original post

I heard one on the radio the other day "no one loves MYSELF like you do"

WHAT????!!!!

Also

Snuggling with the DC on the sofa with a hot chocolate

Totally impractical anyway. It would get spilled in my house.

Ha ha! Like runpslstiltskin

I think "you sound like hard work" is often used to be as cutting as possible. I'm not sure what the OP is meant to say in reply and I don't think it's ever intended to be helpful.

'Let's call them ..,' as in 'my friends, let's call them Claire and Alice'. Don't know why but it gives me the rage!

Agree! Also no one can ever slag off their friends and still be a true friend. It’s ridiculous.

@LagerthaofKattegat

Think.

As in “a hobby, think crocheting “

You mean

“A hobby, similar to /like, for example, crocheting “

Oh yes! Another guaranteed gear-grinder.

@StrongSunglasses totally agree.

Place marking

ODFOD (although not seen this in a good while!)

“Got form” for something

“Reader”

@FetchezLaVache no one would say that in real life would they.
