Phrases you really hate on MN

[cathf]

Following on from the fabulous type of threads you really hate on here, I thought I would start a similar thread for phrases used on MN that really get your goat.
I'll start off with 'in this house', usually used in conjunction with some smug statement to make the OP feel inadequate/bad.
For example 'Oh, we love books in this house!' or 'there's no faddy eaters allowed in this house' or 'we all have to respect each other in this house'.
Over to you ....

Annie, I'll take your 'snacks' and feel the same way about 'nap', 'napped' and 'napping'
Honestly think there is more jargon on here than in a Government leaflet.
Does anyone really say:
My EBF LO has started BLW and now only naps on me'. I have been advised to PUPD or CIO and so on ...

Baby is handy when you don't know if it's a DS or a DD. It isn't a DC cos there is only one of it. It isn't an it. LO does the job too, but Baby can work.

"They" usually does the job if you're looking for a non-gendered pronoun. Capitalising "Baby" makes it ten times worse.

"You sound vile": definite overtones of bullying/superiority.

"Fast forward": there's just no need for it, and it's annoying.

"What have I just read?": I always want to ask them if they've got comprehension problems.

No tractors got there before me 'don't want to read and run'.
Gag! It's just so people pleasing. Nobody knows or cares if you just read- it's a public talk board.

Totally agree with 'hosting'.

Also 'source' as in 'will source the ingredients' etc.

Could just buy them!

Loads of things, most have been said upthread. I don't know why I come here.....

When someone adds a nice sound effect like

Great, thanks for telling us there's a pig in our midst.

This may be the only way forward...😷

'Are you on glue' makes me laugh. Every time.

I hate Nom or Nom Nom or Nom Nom Nom

Treats.

Why is there a need for treats all of a sudden. People can't seem to survive without shite continuous snacking

It isn't a DC as there is only one

Eh? child begins with a 'c'. I hate 'LO', it's so bloody twee and frankly doesn't work if your 'LO' is a stroppy, spotty teenager

The nom nom nomming must be the sound effect to go with the Treats, nishky

"Interesting first post". Fuck off with your troll hunting. Because nobody ever name changes to post something 'interesting' do they?

(Just posted that in the wrong thread. Oops.)

cathf a while ago there was a thread by someone who sent a cheque for £100 as a wedding gift. The bride emailed her afterwards and basically asked for more! The thread was full of people advising her to cancel the cheque even though she explained very early on she had already done so. So "cancel the cheque" has morphed into a metaphor for not reading the OP or the thread properly or offering pointless advice.

I agree, "boils my piss" is horrid!

My midwives and health visitors etc all used "baby" without "the". Before I had one I had never heard of this.

The word "simples"

'Talk me down'. No. HTH

Not really a phrase but every time there's a thread about someone being deliberately excluded from a party and the op has no doubt that this is the case someone will always post "are you sure it's not in dc book bag/lost in the post op?". It really irritates me.

Doh. Cross post and my explanation was wrong anyway! She didn't cancel the cheque, the bride had cashed it. I must be a supremely slow thinker and typer...

'Boils my piss' is hideous.
I loathe 'hubby', 'cuppa', 'biccies' and the utterly revolting 'picky bits', as in 'we're having picky bits for tea.'

When the weekly thread about 'nethuns' surfaces and the absolute WAGS of MN reply with 'are u ok Hun xxxx'. Chortle chortle, we see what you did there.

"Picky bits" also make me want to vomit.

Loads already mentioned, also
''Picky tea/picky bits/picky food' or 'just pick up a rotisserie chicken and salady bits'

Chuck/bung/sling when referring to the slow cooker/oven.

EBF especially when the poster is referring to a child who eats solid food. What's wrong with plain old BF?

When someone posts "what do we think about blah?" as though there is one collective MN opinion.

Each to their own. It seems to be used a lot at the moment and I always think it's missing ...but I am judging the fuck out of you.

Then the 'let's all read the DM, find where they have nicked threads then moan about people who read the DM'

I quite like the ones. Like . They often make me smile.

I do too Lauder
