Annoying Mumsnet Phrases

[TheShellBeach]

Such as "Give my head a wobble" and "Holibobs", neither of which I have ever heard IRL.

I’m personally a fan of when people are “shaking and crying”.

@ReeseWitherfork 🤣🤣🤣

Pamper. Having a pamper night. So twee

Hubby is a dreadful word.

“I know a quick way you can lost 12 stone, LTB”.

Which is apparently both clever and hilarious.

Pamper night, Sounds like you are planning on spending the evening wearing a nappy.

“Hubs” may be worse though.

You sound like hard work.

When someone doles out patronising advice beginning with ‘please’. A la ‘please don’t feed Frosties to your child, ever, they have no nutritional value’ (no nutritional value being another MN staple). Also see ‘A&E. Now’. Hating of the word moist. So many!

I hate "hubby" or even worse "hubster" (shudder). But tbf, they are rare occurrences on MN

Unmumsnetty hugs

Ugh YY to "A&E. Now" as if they have a clue what they're talking about...and as if the op is silly enough to need a very.clear.instruction.with.full stops.for.emphasis.

“Shamelessly posting for traffic”

Usually when shoehorning a topic into AIBU.

You don't sound very nice. Sounds childish.

"Are you very young?"

“I spat my tea out” (usually at something not that funny)

did you, really?

😂😂

'just that really'

Are you on glue?
Wasn't funny then, isn't funny now.

Holding children tighter/closer in the light of some tragedy depriving other parents of their children.

It's a shit show.

Such a cop out, lazy phrase. No evidence is ever given.

“There’s a lot to unpick here, OP”

Boundaries, you need to work on your boundaries. And the recent proliferation of ‘said’ as in said car etc, ‘above mentioned’, ‘therein’: the sort of language that makes posters sound like elderly provincial solicitors.

See also "I spat my coffee all over my screen"

Are you both 12?

"No judgement here OP"
..........followed by a good deal of it.
