To wonder why mumsnetters

[Aprillygirl]

find it impossible to put things in a pan or the oven in a normal manner. They're always throwing,lobbing,chucking,bunging and hurling things around in the kitchen. It's so unnecessary and quite frankly dangerous! Do they have signs on their doors 'Keep out flying joints of meat about' or 'Risk of injury by potato.Enter at your own peril.' Do their family have to don hard hats before entering? What IS this phenomenon that causes these people to be so aggressive towards their food?

Nobody holds a latte they clutch it

Pop is awful

I didn't notice that. Maybe because I rarely read about food and what people do with it, but mainly concentrate on the threads where everyone gets nasty.
Perhaps the "banging" ones want to indicate that they are very busy and fast, and achieve a lot, or they have a very rushed life looking after everyone. Me, I sit in the garden like that caterpillar in Alice, just without hubble bubble.

Is it unusual to projectile vomit?

Unless you have severe D and V or you’re a tiny baby being burped/bounced too hard, yes it is unusual to ‘projectile vomit’ every time you’re a bit sick. It’s definitely a drama-Queen line.

If you see a baby with pyloric stenosis projectile vomiting, you won't forget it. Ordinary vomiting, however violent, just isn't the same.
It can hit the wall some feet ahead.

"Everyone is always blue lighted to hospital. Not just taken in an ambulance."

Blue lighted implies emergency as opposed to simply catching a lift with your friend.

Thus thread annoys me, why can't we be expressive. I blitzed around the room gives a picture of speed and efficiency.

OP I assume that in true MN style you are not just you are in fact raging/fuming/livid

Things are far too frequently nice or lovely. Bloody laziness. I was taught nice is a word that should never be used.

Oh I remembered the other one.
"big smile"
For example
"tell that pta busybody you won't be contributing and you're not able to run a stall. Big smile"

‘Nice’ is a perfectly functional word!

Pop always makes me laugh, because it is slang for f**k in the country where I live!

@Orangeday
I can’t bare “moist” as every time Someone says it I think of Stephen Fry😱😱

Baskerville and scoring his wife a SEEEEVEN!!

Oh, God. Stop it immediately. I'm now getting a vision of the Len Goodman post-coital grin.

Blue lighted implies emergency as opposed to simply catching a lift with your friend.

Actually on MN it usually (not always) means ‘I’m making up attention seeking bollocks’.

We use 'pop' as another word for farting in my house. The dc thought it was hilarious when my mum suggested us all popping to the shops!

All a bag of wank IMHO

@DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops.
I’d never heard of “Picky tea” before MN
I think people think it makes them sound posher than if they said leftovers or mismatched food they’ve found in the back of the Fridge.

@George, nice is a complete non word, all it means is not nasty. There’s always a better one.

DSHathaway - picky tea or picky bits sounds revolting, if I was offered this I would be making my excuses and leaving!

Worra stop lowering the tone otherwise I will force feed you pickled walnuts.

The only thing worse than “mum” “popping”, @KizzyWayfarer, is “hun” “popping”.

My kid is a bloody dreadful, dreadful sleeper and I’ve lost track of how many people on MN and RL have cheerfully claimed I should “just pop him in the cot drowsy but awake, hun!” or “just pop some white noise on, hun!” and that’ll do the trick. Easy peasy!

Just makes the excruciating pain of ongoing sleep deprivation where no amount of “popping” anything, including capillaries in my eyeballs, is going to solve the issues even more pointy around the edges. The word “pop” is dead to me now. It no longer exists in my vocabulary.

It’s journalese though, isn’t it? Everywhere has its style guide. Take a Break always refers to tots. I have legit never heard anyone say tots in life.

Len Goodman. Excellent.

I hate picky tea too, it sounds revolting! Definitely won't "pop" out for any picky bits if you lot come round! Would you like something I knocked up in the slow cooker, washed down with a glass of prosecco instead? Or a batch of something I whizzed up and shoved in the freezer for just such an occasion?

Mind you, I did describe myself as a chocolate snaffler last week, but anyone who has seen me with a chocolate orange would probably say that was accurate .

My family have picky tea IRL, we've always called it that since I was a (very working class with ex-council house parents) kid. It just means a buffet-style layout, mostly my mum's home baked scones and pies with some bread, cheese and cold meat where we pick and choose what we want from what's on offer. I'm certainly not going to start referring to it as a 'cold collation' to keep MN happy, so there

Have to disagree Alsohuman! The fact that one could choose another, more specific word lends ‘nice’ a limitless amount of nuance.

But I’m very inclined to ellipsis and trailing off - so perhaps it suits my writing style ...

I’m also very fond of it in phrases like “a nice distinction between ...”

let us not forget the many distinctions of nice itself. There's merely nice and then there's naice for that true mn je ne sais quoi.
