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 ....

Head tilt literally does my head in.

A breastfeeding infant/child being referred to as a 'boob monster'. Urgh.

Really sukiecat!

I use host when saying we are cooking for guests or having guests over as do lots of other people I talk to. Host to me is when you invite someone to your home and cook for them or give hospitality if you will. I wouldn't say it if we were going to a restaurant and paying for everyone obviously only if you're in your own surroundings.

All the nonsense spoken when a child/baby does not sleep.
Enjoying newborn snuggles
Fidget bum
Delicious baby hugs
Sleep dodger
Boob monster
It's a nightmare, your baby dies not sleep, just admit it!
I once was in a thread where someone actually said that trying to get a toddler to sleep through was an outdated idea and cruel!

passive aggressive, and moaning about the daily mail rehashing stuff, yes it's shitty but how do you know about it unless you look ? if you heard it from else where just ignore it, and as for the idiots who link items on mn from the mail then apologise for doing so, well, it's beyond me, so link , then you don't need to say you are sorry for doing so. ffs grow up we are not kids we can read what the fuck we like !

[xyz] really grinds my gears

Oh dear... aren't you just so "clever"

Sorry italics-failure!

I think the EBF vs BF thing is for clarity. Someone who is BF-ing could be mixed feeding, but someone who is EBF-ing couldn't.

People who start their post with 'Hmmmm' In my experience (and I suggest you look out for it now) they are about to miss the point of the post and go on a huge me-rail.

I also don't like posters who say 'am I the only one who' when t is something really basic, like pulling up you pants after having a wee.

i hate the word lovely, particularly as used to describe food on MN. For some reason, the last thing I want to eat is something described as 'a lovely X'. It's completely irrational but I just hate it.

I also hate 'with all the trimmings'. What exactly are all the trimmings? You can serve all manner of stuff with roast lamb.

"Get the DC's father to help. Get a nanny. Stay in a hotel. Go on a spa day, Move to a bigger house. Use your savings"

Could go on. Reality a myth to some!

Saying 'Meh'. Hate it!

"Boils my piss" is my most hated phrase. I would never want to know in real life any poster who uses this.

Daily Fail, Daily Hate and all its variations.
Rather boring now
You don't read the Daily Mail - we get the point!

Except of course the poster just has read it. I also thinks it helps to have a less blinkered attitude if one occasionally does see what The Mail and those who post comments on Mail articles are saying. I tend to check the reporting on a number of sites and it can occasionally be heartening to see The Mail and its readers have not taken the line one might expect.

The same applies to "Torygraph" for The Telegraph.

I don't think this one has been mentioned before but "a little bit sick in my mouth".

"Spat my coffee all over the keyboard" Did you really though?

"You don't have a MIL problem you have a DH problem" pretty much every MIL thread someone wheels this one out, and it always irritates me.

"Tinkly laugh" What even is that?! I tried practising and it made me look positively deranged.

Have a grip.....hate it!

precious snowflake-
I hate every thing already mentioned too

Head tilt and tinkly little laugh. I've never come across either in real life and if I did I'd just think the person doing them was a bit odd.

Not my circus, not my monkeys.

The person who says it always thinks they are such a SAGE

Not phrases or sayings really, but people who treat MN like a blog "Well, everyone, here is the latest instalment of my yawnsome life".

I hate 'much' as in 'jealous, much?

I agree about' baby' and a lot of other things mentioned too.

'you sound like hard work' is another One that is on here quite a lot just lately.

All this DH, DP, DS, DD, DSD, DSIL, is annoying and unecessary. Just say "my son" "my husband" ffs

Each to their own. Because the poster never actually means that - they actually mean it'd be a cold day in hell if you ever caught them doing something whatever, but they want to seem all open-mindedand non-judgemental.

I also loathe with a passion "Give your head a wobble". WTF??

A lot of people on here seem determined to tell people they are wrong to dislike certain phrases.

If someone is irritated by something, they're irritated by it. It doesn't mean they're trying to say that everyone should feel the same. Saying "Well, ACTUALLY there is NOTHING WRONG with the phrase you hate" is like getting annoyed/offended because someone doesn't like your favourite colour. Trying to argue with them or telling them they're wrong isn't really going to help. Stop taking things so personally.

But it gets ridiculous sometimes - someone uses the word idiot and posters pile in to show the origin of the word and why its offensive while totally ignoring the substance of the post

'Naice' and 'luffs'. Ridiculous words.
