Expressions MN should ban.

[Expressionlessplease]

There are certain expressions posters frequently use on MN which just absolutely infuriate me.

"Pearl clutching " is one of these
Accusing posters who hold a different opinion of being a " pearl clutcher" is just a cheap, snearing jibe calculated to try to make someone look ridiculous and is tantamount to bullying. Imo of course.

Btw I know it's not feasible to ban but I wish people would think before they trot out this phrase which is just calculated to be unpleasant rather than adding anything to a discussion.

Does any one else have any expressions which MN posters use frequently which annoy them?

Anything that starts with a "D"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sorry....D🤣

Wits end 🙄

“Gently OP…”
”Kindly OP…”

"You do know that"

Today's challenge should be to compose a post made up entirely of the phrases pp love to hate mentioned in this thread.
Then we can all be annoyed simultaneously.

Grim.
Everything is "grim".
I agree with you about "pearl clutching". It's so sexist and ageist.

“Boils my piss”.

Although thankfully that one seems to have gone out of fashion a bit

Yeah, that's a really horrible one.

"Reach out".

Unless you're one of the Four Tops, you have no business suggesting this.

"Hence why..." just hence. AI use has made this word very popular.

"I didn't want to read and run".

Well aren't you wonderful, sparing the OP a few crumbs of your time and letting us all know it 🙄

Post or don't post. No-one knows whether you've read it or not.

That's brilliant!

Why are we constantly policing what women say?

Quoting a sentence a PP put with “…Really?” at the end.
Arrogant fuckers.

Boiling piss
The row of ducks
Misogynist
Narcisist

I'd love it if everyone could stop popping. Exceptions:

• champagne
• weasels
• Hugh Grant singing pop goes my heart

Kindly OP, I didn't want to read and run because I felt that would be grim and vile, have you thought about reaching out to someone about your anxiety?

something about the cool girls not wanting to be a sheep (because that jacket is fucking ugly and I dont like it - not because its cool so say that, it is ugly!)

DDog!

Oh well done @TittyGajillions

’Reach out’ is just Northern American and last I checked people from around the world are allowed to post on here.

I actually get annoyed by people who try to mock the use of words/ phrases that they understand perfectly well. It is just another way of showing snobbery.

Give your head a wobble OP!

“Try reading the thread”

Sorry I must disagree. I actually love DDog. And DCat.

I do dislike DH and DP though because they usually definitely aren't.

I really hate the ‘tell me you’ve never done/had etc’ without ‘telling me you’ve never done/had etc’ expression. So patronising.
