Words and phrases you only hear on Mumsnet

[user1477282676]

"Hacked off"

"Tear him a new one"

I've never heard one person in real life use either of those and to be honest, I'm glad! They're the ugliest phrases ever!

Tear him a new one is particularly disgusting.

AIBU to ask you to share yours? Either things you don't hear in real life or things you hate but only encounter here?

'Head tilt'

'Friendship group' really annoys me. I have never heard anyone in real likefe refer to their 'friendship group'. It just makes me think oh grow up.

*Life

"I will out myself with this"
"This too shall pass"
"LTB"

Haven't heard the phrase too often, but keep occasionally seeing "poo crumbs" on some threads, makes me feel sick every time.

Well I'd heard them but they annoy me!

People using 'cringe' as an adjective

'I buy my clothes at boden'

I don't know ANYONE who buys clothes there.

anything with judgeypants in it, but especially to hoick one's judgeypants

"Cop on to yourself" but I like it, I have adopted it. It sounds North Western, is it?

Oh and 'Monsoon is great for women in their 30s'. Slightly TAAT that one, but- really??

I dont think I know what a tinkly laugh sounds like and I've never seen a head tilt.

I'd never heard "entitled" before coming on here but I do think it's a great way of describing certain behaviours.

You need a spa day

Why? that is the answer to everything

ViolettaValery that's Irish scorn at its best. I've heard it many times, never fails to wither the receiver somewhat.

Bunfight and hacked off are normal everyday expressions to me, I use vile and odd too. The MN ones I hate the most are:

Boils my piss
Rip them a new one
Stabby
Fuck off to the far etc. Just "fuck off" will do.

'Go NC!'

Cocklodger

LTB (100 times a day)

Lighthearted

Violetta slightly different but 'cop yourself on' is a common phrase where I live - Ireland.

Entitled, toxic, menial
The use of cringe as an adjective. Stop it ffs, it makes you sound like a twat.

This is why I love MN. I hear words and phrases and opinions and thoughts that I don't hear in real life.

I don't imagine that they exist only on MN, because I'm not a closed-minded moron with no imagination.

I know that they exist on other people's RLs, just not in mine, because the circle of people I interact with in RL is much smaller than the people I interact with online.

'Gotten'

All of these are pretty standard, I've certainly heard them used in RL with the exception of cockwomble etc.

Boils my piss
Rips my knitting

"go swivel"

norks

" Cop on to yourself "

never heard that on Mumsnet but my friend from W Ireland used to say it a lot. I have used it on my son and he HATES it....:)

'Norks' - just WTAF?
