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.

Same. Dd dh. Awful

People who put no? at the end of their sentences. There is nothing more rude, arrogant or smug than that.

Everyone was "gifted" Christmas presents this year.

"DS was gifted a pair of pajamas for Christmas"

Just say GIVEN!

Agree on LTB

DH is a lazy arse says OP

LTB yells MN, spidy senses tingling, ducks all lined up even though the OP hasn't got anywhere to actually go, let alone funds and a Pickfords van waiting on speed dial. Followed by 500 posts demanding to know why she hasn't gone yet.

'Do the freedom programme and read 'why does he do that?' by Lundy Bancroft.. great advice for AFTER a poster has left a proper abusive relationship. Naff advice when it's rolled out for every single little thing a partner or even someone you've just met is doing

WTF is ‘regional’ about those?
It’s just sloppiness.

In your opinion. Where I grew up it was a pack lunch. Calling regional language sloppy is really ignorant.

@stripeyflowers

People who seem to think practically every post is a 'reverse.'

Yes, even when it wouldn't make sense if it was a reverse.

I hate the way pop psychology gets used as if it was something profound - casual assertions of someone being a ‘narc’; references to flying monkeys and women who are Wendys.

Make it fucking stop!

Gasp, usually in brackets (gasp!)

Indicates that what poster is describing is actually totes cool but you uneducated lot will no doubt be

CLUTCHING AT YOUR PEARLS (gasp!)

E.G - "what on earth is your problem with your DH staying overnight at his female colleagues house? Most of my colleagues are male and we even (gasp!) eat lunch together and sometimes (gasp!) go for a drink after

🙄

@Dancingsmile

Ill go against the grain as I can't bare the D in front of daughter sil etc it is just so sickly. I can't bring myself to type it, I know its a MN thing which makes it even more sickly as everyone is being in the gang.

@Dancingsmile Yo're going against the flow, not against the grain. You can't bear the D, not can't bare it

@Dancingsmile Going against the grain is when you go against your values, for example, you were a lifelong tory, but voted Lib Dem because of a local issue

So what did they say when you called them out? (Or similar) when they know full well they haven’t.

Posting for traffic - I know I'm posting in the wrong section but I'm super important, especially annoying when it's about covid as the covid section is usually very busy.

‘I couldn’t get worked up about this’ usually to something most people could absolutely get worked up about!

Picky bits
Dippy things
Line eyes

Curled up on the sofa/under a throw

Can someone please explain naice to me? I thought it was a way of mocking how middle class people are supposed to speak, but now I'm thinking it's an MN injoke?

Add to the hate list: 'DTD' for having sex.

@FanGirlX

So smug and annoying. Most people who care, care because their children are living on this planet

Oh the irony.

What's the irony? Anyone 100% devoted to the environment would just decide to not live anymore themselves, or live in a hut in the woods.

If you care so much why don't you do that? Oh yes, because I'm not giving up my life and any semblance of happiness so others can have kids (but I can't)

Not sure what's smug about that, but there's always one

"OP how old are you?" - a passive aggressive way of opining the OP is naive and immature.

And "tear a new one" is gross.

We’ve done Croatia, why not say we’ve been to Croatia?

Yep. And why not just ignore the thread rather than make a pointless comment?

Get a lawyer.
Get lawyered up.
Fools! we don't have lawyers in UK.
Solicitors, barristers yes - no lawyers.

What is line eyes? Is it this 🤤
