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.

Going against the grain - when the thread has mixture of responses.

I can't make sense of the OP - when there are no paragraphs etc just click out then and leave it to other people who can read a block of text.

Posh - mostly food, posh chocs posh crisps, I just picture someone desperately trying to be seen as posh. Have a bag of monster munch, they're great.

And posters who disagree just to be annoying, they pop up on every thread relentlessly quoting people. Surely after being ignored 5 or 6 times you would give up?

@Mummytosufie12

Haha *@Sparklingbrook*

I don’t have an issue with people crossing to live in the countryside more the phrase ‘living rurally’.

I also now live in the countryside about 30 mins from the nearest town and it is great.

There's an AIBU out there somewhere where I (tongue in cheek or so I thought) suggested I was going to go and visit the farmer at the end of the road to request he stops muck spreading as it made my washing on the line smell. Talk about misreading the audience. It did not go well.

Woke.

*I always think of an 80s comedy when somebody says leafy suburb!

Surbiton like in The Good Life. Or wherever they lived in Butterflies?*

Yes to both or hyacinth Buckets Street 😀

For me it’s ‘No is a complete sentence’ and the biscuit emoji.

I'm rolling now.

Global pandemic
This virus isn't going anywhere
You do know there's a global pandemic with a virus that's going nowhere
Rurally is a word I only ever see on MN and presumably it was evident Uber Eats was going to be out of range before you put a deposit down.

Sighs and naice

Wankbadger/puffin
Give your head a wobble
Reader, I married him or what ever

"Are you quite young?" So patronising
"It sounds like autism" Usually used to try and explain negative behaviours only
"Boils my piss" It's just gross

Any sentence that contains the word "hubby" in it.

Why do grown women use this stupid word? Can't they say husband, it's only two extra letters and doesn'tmake them sound so childish? Grrrrrr!!

@HoldingTheDoor

I'll second the poster who said selfish and vile. I'm so tired of seeing everything and everyone being described as selfish.

You want to eat something more than your daily allowance of government provided gruel? Selfish.

You'd like your toddler to be occasionally allowed to play with another child. Selfish and vile.

You would like to have the occasional haircut so that you don't turn resemble Cousin Itt's even more hirsute sibling? Selfish, vile and disgusting.

Visit your 90 year old Grandmother knowing that this might be her last Christmas. You are despicable.

It's very tedious.

Agree with this actually. Also not a huge fan of men who have been somehow disappointed, and say so, immediately described as 'sulky' or, worse, 'a big sulky baby-man'.

You do you x 1000000000000000

It's the worst phrase ever IMO

I think 'you do you' means 'I've run out of arguments do what you like'.

I don't like the 'big grin' either.

'I married my ONS '

Bugger off.

*The virus doesn't care if you aren't scared." Well it doesn't care if you are scared either, does it? It's a bloody virus. It doesn't think or feel.

Wow. Just wow.
Grrr, if you have something to say then say it or shut up & sod off.
Do not pretend to be so shocked by the thread that you literally can't speak, it's pathetic.
Agree re Snapped & Farted, that instructor sounded a complete dick, not even funny, let alone classic.

'Going against the grain' when they mean 'Going against the flow'

Bare with me/Baring in mind

'I am biased' - usually on Baby names threads asking which one out of a list of popular names. Poster says 'Lily. I have one so am biased*'

• one of the names on the list ** often written as bias

It's not really a bias, just a preference

Wow, just wow - usually a response to an unremarkable opinion

You do realise...
I can't help but read it in a shrill Hyacinth Bouquet voice

'On its knees', equally annoying is 'through the roof'

Eye wateringly expensive

Picky bits/picky tea

Interesting first post OP or Welcome to MN

@fungussingstheblues

"It is what it is."

WHAT is what WHAT is??!

Ha this is my motto for life. I may have to rethink 😂

"Are you on glue"

@Ohmycron

Oh ! No. Because it’s my thread so soz 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Well in that case I’m going to get all my ducks in a row and give my head a wobble with a tinkly laugh before I LTB thread (not really, it’s a good read)

DH says 'It is what it is' and I take it to mean 'FGS Sparkling STFU about things you can't do anything about'.

@LetHimHaveIt

Goady. Grabby. Judgy.

All the made-up bs.

All of these and also: Spendy

WTH?

Anything that starts with
I’m privileged
I’m middle class
I’m struggling, my household income is 150k
