To hate the overused MN expression "Are you on glue?"

[MrsWinnibago]

There's just something really horrible about it....rude and unnecessary.

It also smacks of someone trying to be smart and witty buy just trotting out a line they've been taught.

Equally irritating is "Did you mean to be so rude" because it's so overused and "This too shall pass." is also ANNOYING.

This too shall pass is actually a lovely saying but it's SO overused on here!

I went out for my run this morning and a bloke karchered me.
I don't smell of piss though.

Karchered? I thought you were star jump woman.

I know. Fucking karchered.
The shame.

Well my dh has never been & is never ever likely to ever be on mumsnet.

But he uses the phrase 'Are you on glue?' all the time in real life - has done for years.

Thoroughly agree about glue, and if 'are you away with the show folk' now starts to be used in the same mean, cliquey, aren't-I-witty-coining-this-meme way then I'll hate that too, even though it's a fantastic comeback when original.

'Reported'

Just report and shurrup.

Thing is though its natural on any site, which someone has picked up upon already. We get sayings from one another - social conditioning - and don't even realise we're doing it. Sure it's cringy, but it's community.

I'm sure people know what I mean when I say. ALLLLL THE THINGS. or AINT GOT TIME FOR THAT. or SHALL I BUY A BOAT. Not Mumsnet things, but internet things.

200 odd posts and no one has mentioned:

This is by far the most excruciating phrase on MN.

Also, people thinking that writing something in italics makes it an undisputable fact.

Are you ok Gosh?

You seem a little overwraught

Belle You should be an interweb anthropologist.

sorry ha

Yes. Immortalise us in a thesis

You need to research 'meme' fideline it's like a whole new community mijig! There's a comment and picture for everything, it all gets popular and turns into sort of catch phrases. I have seen some people on here say them and have a secret snigger

The last resort of the halfwit poster who has run out of arguments.

If there is one thing I do not need belle it is another nerdy enthusiasm. I choose ignorance.

I like "Are you on glue".

The others boil my piss to the far side of fuck.

fideline I didn't actively seek it out, I sort of slipped into it during my student days. Forgive me

You sound like a cautionary public information film like the ones they used to make about drugs belle

Can I be like Frank the Dog?

Ha!

Ooh I got my first last week. And yes, it was from a coward poster who immediately scuttled off the thread never to appear again.

I thought it was 'is you on glue?'

I think it's funny. Not as funny as the show folk though.

Are you drunk/on glue is putdown. To infer was posted under influence,so ignore
Mn is a frothing mass of anodyne comments eg this too will pass,aww sweetheart
The anodyne stuff pops up,best ignored eg .did you mean to be so rude..yawn

A good example of such anodyne comments being "frothing mass".

Out of respect to SM I will refrain from using creepy wee brackets to run away.

"I rather shit in my hands and clap" should also be retired.
