Phrases that make you cringe

[BitSilly]

'Creative juices' is awful.

I hate this too. (Stay hydrated.)

Sick of the weather warnings for when it's 27 C FGS!🙄 Acting like it will be as hot as the sun, putting massive dark red maps of the UK up on the TV, and AMBER WARNINGS. Telling us to not go out in the heat too much, make sure you apply sunscreen, and drink plenty of water.

Well fuck me with a feather! I can't believe I've got to my mid 50s and only just found out I need to do this. How the hell have I got to this age without DYING from the searing heat?! I just don't know! #sarcasm 🙄

Sick of the OTT reactions to perfectly acceptable bloody mid summer weather.

And even get me STARTED on the advice for children to stay indoors between 9am and 7pm. PMSL!

God, their snide code is a whole other level of fuckery.

Women who are basically just walking around are usually ‘flaunting’ something or other, depending on weight loss/gain - usually a ‘new, trimmer silhouette’ or a ‘curvy fuller figure’. If they’re standing still (esp on a red carpet) they’re ‘putting on a leggy display’.

Women are never just living their lives, they’re always ‘flaunting’ or ‘displaying’. Even worse is the faux concern and speculation when they have the audacity to look a tiny bit shit, putting out the bins or running to the corner shop with no make-up on. Pseudo-journalism peddling mawkish sentimentality or misogynistic judgement & objectification. Cunts.

"Keep your eyes peeled". Ouch.

Urgh I didn’t even know this existed!

Horrific!

That's awesome

Side hustle.
It just irritates the hell out of me for some reason

I agree,

It's bad enough when I can not find my phone / wallet/ glasses , but if I can not find myself I am going back to bed ( if I can find it !)

I always find it amusing that seeing how the Daily Mail is so vilified on MN so many posters seem very familiar with it!

Wonder if you're an ex-pupil of mine who when she was given work to do would always answer jaffertduit ? Notlob, 1980s

Do you think if we could coordinate everyone to turn round at exactly the same time and in the same direction we could spin the UK around so that Wales and NI are on the east and Cornwall is in the far north 😆.

Too many to read through so someone may have beaten me to it but when people respond with 'beautiful' instead of thanks.

Lots of people do it but mainly looking at you, DH... 👀

Sales person to DH: ''all sorted for you Sir, blah, blah..."

DH: "Beautiful".

🙄😡 Aargghh!! Just. Fucking. Say. Thank You.

So many…..

anything that includes the words “kiddos”, “hubby”

“let’s circle back”….yer fuck off let’s not

Yes, dates back to, I think, India days when tiffin would be eaten in the afternoon, a snack or an afternoon tea. I seem to remember a chocolate bar called Tiffin years ago, the Uni of Google tells me that different manufacturers produced version of Tiffin.

Dysregulated.

Cannot stand it. A lovely excuse for a tantrum, whether that be a child or adult tantrum.

I’ve already posted three times to this thread but there are so many.

People working in service positions who say ‘for me’, as in, ‘can you sign here for me’, ‘can you fill this form out for me’. It’s just irritating. It’s unthinking, redundant and it’s unnecessarily servile.

Ditto ‘At all’. ‘Anything else at all?’ ‘Would you like a bag at all?’ Why? Pointless!

There are so many speech patterns that get on my tits.

@AngelicKaty please can i steal this line to use next time i have to deal with gas / electric/ broadband/ council muppets. 😂

Be my guest - it's not copyrighted! 😂

I counted recently on the bus how many times a girl said ‘like’ to her companion. 29 times within a 10 minute journey. I was like she was like then I was like…

You'll never find yourself there, I'm afraid. But if you go to a beach in Thailand, then there you are.

"Taking accountability".
No. One takes "responsibility".

My bad

Neuroscience

@OutingHobbyWife. I shared that reaching out flow chart on MN once on a similar thread and got attacked by another mumsnetter. I couldn’t see what the problem was but they were pretty nasty. I hope you get away with it!

"Me either" when the person means "me neither".

I hate 'lived experience' too.
As if you could have a dead experience!
