Sayings that get on your tit

[okiedokie1]

'Been there, done that, got the t-shirt'. For some reason this old overused one just annoys the heck out of me. I think because I always imagine the person saying it thinks they are all kinds of cool and up to date.
For the same reason 'not' at the end of a sentence. 'It's really nice..not'. This feels like it should have died when the last episode of Friends ended

I mean this gently/kindly … urgh very patronising to the recipient

Do one

A random

Hollibobs

Oh yes "for me" - another horribly patronising bit of CareSpeak. Also "naughty" -ive heard this a couple of times in relation to old people who don't react like lapdogs when asked to do something. EG "She was a bit naughty today, didn't want to join in " Possibly because the entertainment is based on some 1940s timewarp that means nothing to anyone under the age of 90

’you got this’ as encouragement when they clearly haven’t…
’….but what can you do 🤷🏼‍♀️’ my friend says this regardless of the tragedy. ‘All the family were brutally murdered!!’ Oh dear! But what can you do🤷🏼‍♀️?’ Drives me mad….

Staycation

Snuggle

Making memories

'you killed it' like it's a good thing. 'you absolutely killed it today' at the football match. What?

Oh yes, me too!
Also , "wind your neck in" 😠

"You sound lovely OP". Based on what? A couple of paragraphs?

"You sound like a great mum". Same as above.

Both patronising.

‘Get your finger out’

to which the only response should be ‘out of where?’

"on my period"
WTAF ?
What's wrong with "having my period" ?

This woman I know was enthusiastic about referring to her husband's "healthy habits" when talking about him changing out of his dressing gown and taking the dog for a walk! That made me laugh to myself 😆

Feeling particularly grumpy. So another one is :

Myself. Yourself.

As in :

If you wouldn't mind bringing that in to myself (received via text recently)

And

Would just like to extend the invitation to yourselves (regarding a meeting - sent via email)

Not "sayings". But equally irritating
😂

'I don't drink or smoke' I thought it was gone but heard it twice recently as a pathetic but smug excuse for not being sociable.
Examples: grandfather at kids party, I'm leaving now (30 mins in) it's not my thing I don't drink or smoke. Not one person was smoking and only a few were having a beer / wine.
At an exercise class: it's great to have something on during the week to look forward to. I don't drink or smoke you know... ie i have no friends and don't enjoy socialising so I'm going to pretend I'm morally superior because everyone else spends their Wednesday evenings doing shots and chain smoking.

Just the one tit?

Is the other one less irritable?

I hate on e.g BBC Breakfast or GMB when they say "and now for the news and weather wherever you're watching". "Wherever" sounds like you don't give a toss - and ok they probably don't give a toss. I'm not saying I want "now the news for Jacuzziness in Jacuzzi town" BUT "now time for your local news" is fine.

I didn't get much sleep last night, I need a biscuit.

Yes I hate that too....and "do me a solid" (and it's variations). Both make me feel slightly sick. The latter because the phrase just makes me think of someone doing a poo.

I also hate "hanging" instead of "hangover". Not sure why for that one but it makes me cringe for some reason.

"Niiice"

What's for dinner
Shit with sugar on
Niiiice

"Happy mum, happy baby" I wish this was true, but it isn't.

"I love the bones of him / her."

Presumably "I love him/her" just doesn't fully express the enormity of the love being felt?

A new mother posting about not enjoying (hating, perhaps) motherhood and wondering had she made the wrong decision in having a baby.

"Might you have PND?" Yes of course that is a distinct possibility however it's also possible the new mother does actually hate motherhood and may well regret having a child. It does happen occasionally, I'm (pretty) sure.

The eye rolling phrases that come with modern parenting techniques
"Jacobs got some big feelings today"

No, Jacobs misbehaving. Not everything is a 'big feeling '

'We are pregnant' - no, only one of you is.

'I feel you' - really annoying. I feel for you, yes, but surely nobody on mn is actually feeling the other person?

I also hate the use of 'super ' - super quick, super tasty etc what's wrong with really?

And yes hubby, hubster etc - just why?

Calm down..

Give your head a wobble

Yes they sound so stupid.

I only see them on MN.

I get the sense they’re meant to convey a air of hard knock street cred or something, but it’s literally only on mumsnet threads I see them used.
