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…

Unkindly, "kindly".

DNiece, DDog, DBrother, DFriend, DDuck, DDragon - and so on.

Why do (what seems like) so many people think it's a requirement to put "D" in front of the animal subject of a post?! It's just inexplicable.

Also please add "yummy". If it can't go on as fully banned, then it needs to be included if used to refer to the poster's own cooking - especially when following an unappetising-sounding recipe.

You sound like hard work.

This has to be a reverse

You have a DP problem

And Bump, 1 min after the original post (which is like War and Peace)

AITA instead of AIBU.

Agree with the above, and would like to add, 'food of the gods'.

"if you just Google it, there's thousands of examples of X"
Where X is some ridiculous claim like 'King Charles actually has 3 sons - it's heavily reported in foreign media, but they stop the UK media from publishing anything about, it, but if you just Google it, there's THOUSANDS of articles of proof".

But when asked to provide one example the poster will bend themselves into a pretzel to explain that, they could but the won't, because if you can't be bothered to do a simple Google, then their they're not going to waste their time doing it for you.

'Grrrrrrr'

Nobody says this and I get cross seeing it written down.

“Pic so we don’t get lost!”

'Talk me down'

Awful, awful phrase.

HTH - usually used as a passive aggressive parting shot

Give your head a wobble

Hand hold needed

Rant over.
Just my two cents / just my opinion.
Gender when people mean sex.

Also using boob as a verb 'I was boobing the baby'

Starting a post with 'Hmmm' like we're all waiting agog for their pronouncement of wisdom like King fucking Solomon is about to speak.

Using “much” at the end of a sentence - judgemental, much?
The same goes for “no” - it’s obvious,no?

And as a pp has already mentioned:

'Call out'
'Call her out'
'I called her on it'

Wanky food descriptions e.g. 'delicious and nutritious', 'to die for'.

'Haters'

Yes, it sounds pathetic.

Kindly/gently...
Think X...
Eachother (because it's not a sodding word!).
I/myself when used incorrectly.
Sat when used incorrectly (i.e most of the time).

Utterly stupid wittering about twice your age minus 7 or whatever it is about age gap relationships. Completely irrelevant, made up by a couple of 13 year olds.

All the D crap.

Your when you're is meant. Ditto passed/past. Breath/breathe. Brought/bought.

Or "anyone?" About 3 minutes after their first post. Usually in AIBU when it's the wrong section

The "Think X" thing drives me nuts. Just say what it is!!!!!!

"You really think that skittles are better than malteasers? Are you ok?" (Yes I'm fine thanks)

"That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard but you do you. I wish you a lovely day." (Um no you don't)

"Oh do bore off."

"What did they say when you..." (Insert anything the poster thinks OP should already have done but evidently hasn't).

"Looks like OP won't be back" (3 hours after the post was made)

No is a complete sentence.
Well, yes, it technically can be used as a standalone like that, but most of the time just responding 'no' is going to sound rude.

I would say 'breathtakingly rude' were it not for the fact that hyperbolic adverb use (breathtakingly, astoundingly, ridiculously, staggeringly etc) should also be banned.

Log it with the police!

I much prefer the Christmas gooch
