Annoying Mumsnet Phrases

[TheShellBeach]

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

"What is the point of him?" when a poster has a relationship issue, like that one issue defines the entire relationship.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them.' Trotted out daily, just lazy.

I mostly see "life admin" as an excuse for not working/working part time. The rest of us, single or partnered, parent or not, just get on with life without pretending it's an administrative job.

Oh god, I forgot about ODFOD. It sounds like something Hyacinth Bucket would say if she developed a bad case of potty mouth.
And just to confirm, I'm using the term 'potty mouth' in an ironic way coz that's another horrible phrase🤮

Oh and suggesting everyone is ND or has autism. As in literally everyone.

Family money

Yes, that's true... If you don't want to work and can afford not to, then don't. Everyone has the same "life admin" 😅My favourite life admin task was researching doorbell camera on amazon. Yep, because it takes as much time as full time work😂

Oooh another one.. when someone uses 'parent' as a verb. Like 'you need to learn how to parent your kid properly'. So high n mighty

Ubiquitous

I have seen this being used in loads of posts recently. I think I only notice how much, because it just bugs me.

I have never said nor heard this being used in daily conversation.

“ Just been a little bit sick in my mouth”

Revolting.

It's not a race to the bottom

What is ODFOD?

I was wondering too and came to the conclusion it's Oh do fuck off dear. Could be way off the mark 😆

It's everywhere

😂😂

Everyone being so busy and having no time for anything or anyone - don't spend so much time on mumsnet then !

Everything and everyone on their knees

"Think..."

As in:

I work in a fast food restaurant (think fried chicken)

Just say you work in KFC you twat

Ah, thanks!

Especially NHS is on its knees. It's not in bad state or badly organised. It's on its knees 😆

Soooo many people (and/or their DHs) working "very long hours" in "very stressful jobs".

Yes. I see it on here all the time

I rarely hear people scream in real life so I eventually assume they just mean to shout.

Which isn't screaming

Well, frequently it does. People in happy, stable, healthy and loving relationships don't tend to post on here because the husband forgot to get milk or something.

If he never does any housework or childcare, never gets up in the night, fucks off every weekend and talks to his wife like shit....what, indeed, is the point of him?

LTB for every piece of relationship advice…

The script.
I've just seen this on a bloody loop,

Ha, I think I saw the same thread! Blooming irritating.
So I'd add people repeating the same thing that everyone else has already said a million times. What's the point?
