OP posts:

We are blessed
God is good
At the end of the day
Making memories
My other half
Thinking out of the box
Ah shame
How much?!
All of the above too often used by my mil...

JanetStWalker · 02/08/2017 15:56

It's fucking loathsome OP, right up there with the dreaded, 'making memories'.

beepbeeprichie · 02/08/2017 15:57

Ok. Here is my effort at getting as many of these into one imaginary Facebook post as possible.....

Boobing my lil man to sleep while hubs and I have lush picky bits for supper. Only two more sleeps til we are making memories on our holibobs! #feelingblessed

I used to refer to my DH as "my other half". No idea why because it's phrase I loathe and for one thing it would mean that the other half of me is seriously annoying a lot of the time. I've stopped now thankfully.

2017SoFarSoGood · 02/08/2017 16:00

Most of the words and phrases already mentioned give me the boak. I don't ever say boak but it is a strong word that aptly describes my reaction. I do use methinks though. Wee is also used. Both somewhat ironically but not always.

Boobing is awful. As is breastfeeding as in 'am just breastfeeding little man' makes me cringe. Feeding. You are feeding your baby. No real need for more information. Who would ever say 'just bottle feeding little Mary'?

I cry inside when someone in my first circle uses most words mentioned in this thread. Sob.

GladAllOver · 02/08/2017 16:01

Thank you all for reminding me why I don't do Facebook :)

llangennith · 02/08/2017 16:02

YANBU! It makes me cringe. And swear.

Veryhungrycaterpillar84 · 02/08/2017 16:02

For some reason I can't stand "Squishy" or "squidge" when referring to a newborn baby. As in "this is our new squidge everyone ". Urghh... It's a verb for a start, and a childish one at that... think I must be a real grump today!

paperandpaint · 02/08/2017 16:05

I say wee all the time too, it's just written down that I hate!!

Fuck. Off. Wink

Olddear · 02/08/2017 16:07

'Mummy friends' aren't they just your friends?
'Friendship circle' ditto
'Hubby' hate, hate, hate it
'Other half' 'better half' hate that too.
And men who refer to their girlfriends as 'the missus' dislike that term anyway but particularly dislike it when used in that way

Emmageddon · 02/08/2017 16:09

Mumatron and Dadders?

What the fresh hell is this? And famalam? Sounds like a song by the Bay City Rollers. showing my age

I do quite like sorry/not sorry though.

Emmageddon · 02/08/2017 16:11

@DadOnIce that made me laugh.

And that is the only way blessed should be used, unless one is of a religious persuasion.

Jayne35 · 02/08/2017 16:13

My elderly mother once used the term 'Famalam' on fb. I don't think I'll ever get over it!

Also hate hashtags with a passion and pretty much everything else I have read on this thread. Though I have to admit to sometimes posting a boring busy day/time to relax update.

LazySusan11 · 02/08/2017 16:14

Friend and I also despise the feeling blessed bollocks. We frequently take the mick out of each other if one of us puts a photo up on Facebook we have 2 hashtags we use between each other as a piss take

Not necessarily annoying, but revolting - crotch supper. Never heard it until a colleague used it (and he's a right old perv, so makes it even worse)

ShatnersBassoon · 02/08/2017 16:19

'Bring it on!' Only used by the chronically dull, every time they have a pint and/or leave their home town.

ScrambledSmegs · 02/08/2017 16:19

Picky tea/bits makes me think you're picking your nose and eating it, you dirty bastards [boak]

SadAboutTheBoy · 02/08/2017 16:21

Flippetydip - yup, I'm so with you on the adults calling a stomach a 'tummy'...
DH did it once when I had stomach cramps "have you still got a sore tum?" and I almost ripped his head off... it's the whole infantilising of everything I hate.

And yes, to 'reaching out' too - I get at least one unsolicited work email a day where someone 'just wanted to reach out to me..'
F*ck off!

beepbeeprichie · 02/08/2017 16:21

Brahms I am not sure whether I want to know what that is... sounds grim in the extreme.

BertrandRussell · 02/08/2017 16:21

Has anyone said "boob to sleep"? This is my latest pet aversion.

Celticlassie · 02/08/2017 16:23

"Just wow". Or worse: "Wow. Just wow". If it's just wow, then just say wow.

Or the mumsnet classic: "Are you always this entitled, OP?". I feel I can imagine the person saying it. Angry

SunshineAndRhubarb · 02/08/2017 16:24

"My bad" and #mysidechick. I hid all of her posts after becoming increasingly irritated with photos of someone and her four month old daughter hash tagged #mysidechick or #sidechick.

HumphreyCobblers · 02/08/2017 16:26

I hate 'prolly' for probably.

Also 'invite' for invitation. Invite is a verb damn it. You invite someone to your party by giving then an invitations. I am fighting a losing battle with that one, I know.
