'get a grip' on here. There's barely a thread in AIBU that does not sport it

It's patronising at best.

Well most of the time it is justified. At least the ones I've seen are.

Oh FFS, get a grip.

Sqee · 04/06/2011 22:16

Bahaha K999 :o :o

I can only assume you fall into the 'For the love of mercy GET A GRIP' group of posters?

IprivateI · 04/06/2011 22:19

Well, they don't actually say it do they? It's typed.

Or 'man up'. Gawd who thought that one up? Hmm I hear/read it all the time these days.

I don't mind 'get a grip' but you have to be careful not to over use it.

gapants · 04/06/2011 22:39

man up is so american to me, but hear it all the time. dislike

get a grip..don't mind makes me think it would be someone who wears a housedress to clean in and rollers. sort of a les dawson in drag type. "get a grip luv!"

Karbea · 04/06/2011 22:47

Man up?!?!? Surely that'll upset the Feminism/women's rights people...

Capiche · 04/06/2011 22:51
