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 ....

Everything listed above and id like to add in "picky tea".

Fucking hate that wanky expression.

Without fail, every time I see someone write "wow, just wow", or my worst one "are you on glue?" etc, I just think "what.a.twat"

Also, another vote for 'Daily Fail'.

I agree with, so why did you have a baby with him then.

Simply

Vile

And my absolute most hated ever....

, no? At the end of the sentence. So....

Just switch to gluten free then, no?

Oh the pile-on mentality is really annoying.

I use half a dozen of the most hated phrases, I'm sure. I don't mind if people don't like them, I don't use them to offend so, if they do, they do.

It occurs to me that threads like this seem such innocuous little things and really, they're not. They're a bit goady and always intended to be - and filled up by posters who don't like certain things and have a way of saying so that is guaranteed to upset the posters who do like and these use phrases.

I hate 'HTH' and 'Just saying.' Those phrases are so unbearably smug

Anything to do with the word feck. Hate feck. Just say fuck.

'Makes my teeth itch'
'Your house, your rules'
'Your baby, your rules'

I'm Irish - it's feck where I'm from so I'll carry on

I'm half Irish so use fuck and feck according to mood

Tinkly laugh and head tilt reminds me of Dolores Umbridge out of Harry Potter.

Mumsnet at its best! Always sounds twee and from the same type of people who say awww bless!

Im sorry but.... I dont think you are sorry at all! Although i have heard that in RL too.

And I have once laughed so hard that the baby sleeping on my chest woke up.

Anything with incorrect use of pre- like Pre-planned pre-warned , pre-prepare

"Nom nom nom", you can say this if you are three or four years old.

"Gifted", no you were given it.

"Pooter", wasn't funny even in 1979.

Tinkly little laugh (because that won't sound false at all, will it?)
Princessing (are you five?)
YY (who says 'yes, yes' in real life?)
Picky bits (just tuck)
Fanjo (sorry but I hate this word)

• yuck not tuck

Oh the pile-on mentality is really annoying. How about the phrase 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones', Lyin, since you're not above taking part in a pile-on?

'My little family' and all the smug referrals to 'family time' and 'snuggling down with the children'. Hateful expression - and I hope you respect that point of view when you are lonely MIL that no one wants to invite to their home.

'Enjoy your babies, they are only little for such a short time' - pointless comment to a mother struggling with her baby not sleeping/wanting to be picked up all the time etc etc

Definitely hate 'boils my piss', it's really unnecessary and just revolting, I really don't want to think about your piss really, whatever temperature it is!

I've always just assumed anyone using 'bleddy' was Cornish as it's a word still in very common use & Cornish people use it all the time (not as a replacement for bloody, just a word in it's own right).

"snuggling down with the children"

MB has made the word "snuggle" as appalling as those old favourites "gusset" and "moist".

My MIL calls "picky bits", "picky doos". But we are Australian so my tolerance for slang is high.

I love when someone posts "we are having quite a big wedding, 80 guests, mostly paying for it ourselves, but his parents have contributed 50p and want to invite 75 guests including fiance's childhood next door neighbour's sister's yoga teacher. AIBU to say no?" People promptly pile in to tell them big weddings are a waste of money and they'll probably be divorced before the evening reception. Someone will always chip in with "we got married in a public convenience then invited our 3 guests for a spot of dumpster diving to find the wedding breakfast, followed by a thimbleful of White Lightning for the toast. Everyone still talks about how it was the best wedding ever!"

Boils my piss really gives me the rage, it actually drives me batshit crazy 😁

What does HTH mean? Once I know I can hate it properly.

I like 'batshit crazy'...

HTH is happy to help, Lilyargin
