To think that people who call themselves "quirky", "kooky" or "random" should fuck off?

[Namechangingchameleon]

Add to that people with "eclectic" music tastes.

Fuckers, all of them.

I thought 'feisty' was a word for someone who stands up for themselves in a good way against people who were putting them down and thought they should shut up ... is there another meaning?

Omg! "Spiritual"
That lot can fuck off too!

People who describe themselves as "quirky", "random", "mad" or any variation on the theme are without exception tedious, personality-free cunts.

And as for "I work hard and I play hard" they can fuck off too.

Sadly never met anyone that self describes like this so denied a good scoff.

Do find the word "spirited" when describing a child quite funny. Used by a party entertainer we hired to describe the hideous queen bee girl who kept pointing out that the entertainer wasn't actually a real fairy.

Soul mates. I always get a mental image of matching outfits from Cotton Traders.

YY to spiritual. SiL went travelling last year and is now 'so spiritual'.

She asked me if I was jealous of her 'spirituality' as I hadn't liked or commented on any of her FB posts from when she was travelling. It was OK though, now everyone can understand 'just how spiritual' she is now.

Actually, I'd hidden her newsfeed about 6 months previously as I got bored of scrolling past her links to 'old skool choons' because she was just so 'fun and crazy - dancing round my kitchen, what am I like?'

I completely second the "I'm mad me" , drives me fucking nuts

Can I also add those who use memes and post or say constantly

" I just help and help other people all the time and put them before me"

Oh fuck off ..... That means you're either a fucking doormat or a martyr or both but either way if you are saying it you're fucking self absorbed and most probably an interfering pain in the ass

Oh right then .... So apparently I have rage over this lol, fabulous
Needed a good rAnt

People who put up FB memes along the lines of "share if you hate cancer and love little kittens"

Also hadn't realised that 'bubbly' also implied you were fat.

Oh can I add "feeling blessed"

Translation - being smug

I prefer to refer to myself as 'loco'

Oh I was called a maverick once. I kinda like it though admittedly it was a title assigned to me, rather than the title of my autobiography...

People who are always more all-knowing and are always out to show how much more popular they are (eg they'll say things like "oh and don't you love her holiday plans" knowing full well they know about it and you don't. It's a one off if it happens once or twice, not when it has happened every time you have spoken for the past fifteen years!

Someone described me as 'a card' once. I had to check what decade we were in before I at them.

""I thought 'feisty' was a word for someone who stands up for themselves in a good way against people who were putting them down and thought they should shut up""

Have you ever heard it used to describe a man?

It's usually meant in a cute way towards a woman who isn't being submissive, it still dis-empowers, because it suggests that a title is needed for a Woman who won't be dismissed, so is therefore outside the norm.

It always makes me laugh that on the 'what do you judge threads', a lot of MNers answer, ' a living room that looks as though it came from a catalogue' because it isn't eclectic. Apparently we should all live without furniture until we can put a random mix together.

My sister once told me I was 'much more mainstream' than her...oh do cock off - you go on holiday on your own because no-one wants to go with you, not because you're 'alternative'!

Thanks - cathartic...

Has anybody ever argued with anybody who describes themselves this way? I would love to just say 'oh, I don't think you're zany, you're one of the most normal people I've ever met' . The ones I know would be so put out by that and probably come up with a list of how they actually are zany/mad/quirky.

I agree.
I have used the word feisty to describe men before, on more than one occasion.
When used directly to them it is wonderfully patronising, and shuts any arrogance down quite quickly!

I just hate it when people ask you to describe yourself. You're fucked whatever you say, really, aren't you?

"Uhhh I'm a socially anxious, people hating arsehole. I like scowling at strangers, being at home and eating my body weight in cheese. I can often be found crying for no apparent reason. Making friends seems to be the worst thing ever because they want to ask me questions like 'how would you describe yourself' .......

I think it boils down to not being confident enough to admit your boringly normal

This, I know someone who described herself as "zany" to me when we first met. She's a SAHM with a husband and two kids and lives on a new-build housing estate full of other houses virtually identical to hers. Nothing wrong with any of those choices but none of them are anything I'd not class as average, I don't know where "zany" comes into it.

Wrt 'bubbly' meaning fat & jolly, I've been described as 'effervescent' before on a written appraisal.
Perhaps that was because I was bubbly without being the requisite fat as well?!

(I am fat now so am probably now bubbly, but I was quite slim back then).

MrsBoDuke

@ difference between bubbly and effervescent. Think I'd rather be bubbly.
Effervescent makes me think of Epsom salts and bubbly makes me think of champagne. Know what I'd rather be!!

I know someone who apart from being 'mad' likes saying "the thing with me, right, is that I'm not very nice." Like she's letting you into a big secret.
One time I replied "yeah, actually, you're right." Hasnt spoken to me since. #win

Donkey I think I've worked with him...

Haven't RTFT but yes yes A THOUSAND TIMES YES!

YADNBU OP.

Any Come Dine with Me fans? A lot of unintentionally hilarious self-branding there.

'I'm the kind of person, you know, who will tell you like it is....'

'You know at the end of the day, I'm a mum. I just love my kids to bits, they are my life....'

blah blah
