What words or terms would you put in a Mumsnet “anti-glossary”?

[IchiNiSanShiGo]

Inspired by a couple of posts I’ve seen recently, what words or phrases really “give you the ick”, that you’d love to see in a list of them to be banned or redacted?

The posts I’ve seen recently would suggest “hubby” and “picky bits” as a couple of prime contenders.

I personally would suggest “hun” when used as a bit of a pejorative, but it doesn’t bother me so much when it’s used in a more conciliatory or supportive way.

Also, “giving me the ick” is actually giving me the ick…

"X here" - most pompous way of joining a conversation or introducing yourself

Absolutely fewmin about this one 😏

@IchiNiSanShiGo here, hundred percent agree hun

This too shall pass.

Translation - I don't have anything constructive or helpful to say.

Twixmas 🤮

Get your ducks in a row

"I read somewhere that.."

Being "baffled", when what they really mean is "small minded and judgemental"

☝️”this” 👆

Moist
ick
teeth itch
Recommend me ......
Yous
We was at ......
Your are instead of you're

Merry-Neum is a much better phrase. Come at me hun.

Right, this one’s definitely one for the anti-glossary. You’re entirely correct.

"un-mumsnetty hug"
Oh please fuck off will ya
please add that to the list 😏

I used to loathe "norks', but that seems to have gone by the wayside.

I'm really not keen on the rather twee AF for period.

TLDR - couldn’t get passed (?) past (?) that first word 🤢

I've no idea how that GIF got there, and edit doesn't seem to allow me to delete it. I am embarrassed.

@Matildatoldsuchdreadfullies
You should be 😂😂😂

‘Give your head a wobble’.
‘Boils my piss’ 🤮
’That doesn’t work for me’. (Just say sorry, you can’t, FFS!)
Hubby
Peeps (not that I’ve seen that for a while, thank goodness)
Baby steps (ditto).
And ‘judgey’ - please just write ‘judgemental’ - it’s really not hard.

"Judging" or "judgement" to mean "disapproving" or "disapproval". Can't stand it.

"Don't tell me what I can or can't post" - the hypocrisy should be self-evident with that one.

Anyone suggesting that anyone offering any criticism of anything must "consider themselves perfect".

Veggies

’Comparison is the thief of joy’, and in the same breath comparing them to someone worse off so they feel better. Of course people compare things, you’d do it at the supermarket to see what’s a good deal. You really mean being envious ultimately makes you sad!

Vile

I told my DH about (your post) and he said…

I’m bored enough listening to my own DH’s opinions, why the fuck would I be interested in your DH’s manslaining?

Another one - suggesting that posting about something on Mumsnet means you care far too much and you need to get a life. Typed on a Mumsnet post.

I am going to add horrendous GIFs to the list.
