Phrases/words you can't stand on MN

[cathf]

Maybe it's just me, but I'll kick off with:
Booby monster (or any kind of 'monster')
Figetbum (not seen this often, but it is so horrific I can't forget it)
Snuggly cuddles (see also milky cuddles,and sleepy cuddles or snuggles)
Newborn, used as a noun, not an adjective - as in my newborn, not my newborn baby.
I'm sure I will think of some more!

[blossombottom]

Ahh I see. Makes sense now. Thanks!

My MN pet hates:

Referring to a child's actions as 'ours'

"We're out of size 18-24 month clothes now"

"We're almost always dry at night"

"The Boden tights were a bit too bright for us"

Etc

[treeofhearts]

Boobing. Arrggggg
Love Bombing

[yawning801]

Funnily enough I prefer "boak" to "vom"! No idea why, just can't stand "vom". I did see a post here with the OP "stealth" boasting about her "DDDDDDDDDDD". This was when I first started so I was thinking "What's that? DooDooDooDooDoo?"

I may have been exceedingly tired at the time...

[yawning801]

Oh blossom has reminded me. Your child is not 24 months. He is 2 FUCKING YEARS OLD! At ease...

[Lallypopstick]

Large of nork. I will instantly click off any thread with that phrase on.

Large of nork. I will instantly click off any thread with that phrase on. Yes and someone described themselves as 'fat of leg' once. I always picture someone who is a science fiction fan and a gaming addict.

Eaterie
I often hear local radio presenters/ journalists discussing a restaurant as an "eaterie". Aaaarrgh!!!. Well at least i dont have to put up with it any more as i,ve turned my radio off at liverie ;-).

There is a nasty trend of rebranding language. Much ss "I'm lovin it" ( no i'm bloody not!), I think it started with the word staycation. Its a blinking holiday sunbeam, and has now moved on American militaristic business process robby the robot reflexive speech into every day existence. " Hey Jaaaan, explain me that montra will ya. " Another pain is the false Italianisation of coffee. Its impossible to order a white coffee these days or even a black coffee. It has to be a f#!!#g latte or americano. Give me a break. Poncification is order of the day. Ho hum. I shall now retreat to the drawing room and stomp on some turnips and hops. ;-)

I hate seeing the word “reported” because it usually means that the thread will be deleted. Those threads are the ones that I really enjoy reading because they are so ridiculous that you know they can’t possibly be real. Unfortunately, some people take them too seriously. So what if someone’s a “troll”? You can just ignore the thread once you realise, and leave it for the amusement of the rest of us.

Your bubs your rules. I know this is actually true but there’s a certain type of person that comes out with it and they bug the hell out of me.

What!? Amusement? Trolls are a pain in the arse and make it that everyone starts to question innocent posters. You’re being naive to think that they don’t cause any damage.

Little ones
My little family
‘Boobing, to boob, boob to sleep etc.
Ect - it’s etc. ffs
Kind hands
Hobbies - for DH, DP
Activities - for DC, just say, dance, rugby
‘Did you mean to be so rude?’ I’m waiting for someone to say this to me so I can reply, ‘yes actually. I did. Now fuck off.’
Re contraception - I’m on the injection/coil. How can you be on either of these?

[savanna22]

When someone has to change the name of someone they're talking about, ffs just say "I'll call her Ann" rather than the highly irritating "let's call her Ann". NO let's not.

[MRex]

"Think X" as a useless descriptor.

E.g.
"I work in a caring profession, think nurse."
(What, because health visitor / doctor / midwife describes so few people in the world that you can't just say?)
"I teach, think sciences."
(Yeah, there aren't many teachers.)
"He bought me a present I didn't like, think jewellery."
(Well that's helpful.)

Just say what it bloody is that you want to say. It's not enigmatically interesting, it isn't the one thing hiding your identity, it's just annoying.
