Words MN has made you dislike

[dexterslockedintheshedagain]

Just reading through a couple of threads, and realised that, due to their (over)use on MN, there are some words that now make my teeth itch.

Words like 'gentle' (I see it as quite PA) and 'yummy' (always makes me think of some Lycra clad female jogging with a pushchair for some reason).

Am I alone in this, or do others have words they've come to dislike too?

Hungry.

On a thread talking about food, ‘ooh, so hungry now’. Just makes me cringe.

Everyone screams on mumsnet! Any type of altercation at all, one is screaming, the other shaking and crying.

'Pots' and 'toms' as shortenings of potatoes and tomatoes.

Sanpro- does anyone use this in real life?!

Munching, gorging, tat

’Offer’ to mean ‘give your child his tea.’

Gift/gifted
Beak (keep your beak out) - so rude
Snacks (for some reason this word irritates me)
Boils my piss/teeth itch

‘Snack’.

The phrase ‘offer a snack’ makes me want to die.

Grim - used in the way it is on MN

Sheesh.

Thought if another overnight!

CHAT.

As in, to 'have a little chat with'. Usually suggested when someone hasn't RTFT and is giving advice which, had they ACTUALLY RTFT would probably realise is completely inappropriate.

Definitely this too.

I remember reading, when I was weaning my DD (!) that you should 'always offer two courses' AKA main and pudding, and thinking that she was a baby not a bloody food critic. I had visions of some giving her a yoghurt on a silver platter!

I

Sorry about the random 'I' there.

Methinks.

Ime
Dyynamics

Vulva - no one in real life, including doctors, nurses, gynaecologists and midwife's have ever referred to my vagina as a vulva.

Probably because they're referring to your vagina, which is a separate part of the body.

Out of interest, with the people in West Midlands saying "mom"- do you also spell it "mom" like Americans do or is it just a difference in pronunciation?

😂 this is very niche! 🍪

Vile
woke
virtue signalling
leafy suburbs
naice particularly in connection with areas to live, usually shorthand for free from rough w/c types

lots of these words and phrases were great when they first came out. Just very over-used now.

‘Landfill’ and ‘tat’ especially when used together.

Source please

when someone has simply stated in general terms something that is widely accepted (eg football is the most popular TV viewing sport in the world) and it's just a chat thread, not a draft academic publication.

Hobby

Groceries

Hand hold
Moving forward
Get a grip

Critical thinking - usually used in a sneery tone to put down people who perhaps haven't given as much thought to something as MN standards demand they should.

Toms
Pots

Picky tea
Really lovely
