ducks in a row and others consigned to mn bin -thank god !

[fecketyfeck21]

someone starts a word or expression and many mners start using it, it comes a fad, then after a while i=someone will say it's a tossy expression and everyone else agrees then said expression thankfully disappears from mn
said 'getting ducks in a row' is not often seen.
banging on about prosecco,
anyone think of any others ?

I use the word 'ghastly' quite a lot IRL

boobing the baby
WHAT
Do people on MN say this? I haven't come across it. It's vile!

"Sick to my stomach" really annoys me. The stomach part is redundant. Where else would you be sick to? Your left foot?

Do you teach at Malory Towers?

AnAC12UCOinanOCG (love the name!) no I wish. I LONGED to go to an old-fashioned boarding school and do Latin 'prep', but in fact I went to a sink school with no sixth form and lived in a cardboard-walled Barratt house.

I only used ghastly tongue in cheek really

'Rant over' urgh cant stand it - just seen on the voting thread.

Next! Usually seen on relationships. Gets on my nerves

I quite like ghastly but being Northern I read it/say it with a flat 'a' - when pronounced 'ghARstly' I find it annoying.

DarlingNikita I wanted to go to Malory Towers and be head girl. My mum disagreed and sent me to a comprehensive where kids brought in knives, so secondary school was a ghastly disappointment 😁

AnAC12UCOinanOCG, I think we went to the same school

Log it with 101- no, just fucking no!
Snap and farted- sorry it raised a smile that’s all
Tinkly laugh

Fuck of daily mail- it’s an Internet forum open for the entire world to read. If you don’t want it being picked up don’t post it!!

Autism- any adult/child with the slightest display of behaviour that deviates from the norm is always asked ‘have they been tested for autism?’ Some people are just different, it does not mean they have autism. To be honest it down plays what autism actually is, I’m sure many a parent have sat their and shook their heads at threads and said- if you only knew.

Now I’ve got that off my chest 😂

"Horrid"

Also just the incorrect use of AIBU. Just start a thread in chat ffs.

Ghastly" Have I wandered into an Enid Blyton boarding school?

I feel the same when I see ‘horrid’ or ‘gosh’. Do 21st Century adult women really use these words?

One that’s really annoying me at the moment is ‘race to the bottom’. It’s hugely overused, mostly incorrectly.

One that thankfully seems to be dying off is the use of ‘precious children’. There was a thread a while back from a woman who’d found documents suggesting her husband had been married previously and had children - none of which she knew about. One of the replies said ‘Based on the evidence, it sounds like he has precious children’. If they were that fucking precious he wouldn’t have kept them a secret from his wife!

I wish "call it out" would pass into obscurity, it sounds like something eight year olds would say.
And words like fucktonne/clusterfuck, I blame The Guardian for those.
Utterly gets used on here a lot too, utterly, utterly ghastly, reminds me of Victorian gentlemen.

My DD16 has told me 3 times today she is fuming about something and I always think of Mumsnet when I hear it 😂
She also prounounced it FEWMIN for extra fume

"Are you the OP's ex/DP/MIL?" used to be said a fair bit whenever anyone would side with the party that was supposedly being unreasonable.

Yeah, 'cause no one can possibly have a different opinion to you, can they?

'Big girl pants'

I want everyone who ever says it to know that the only time I'm putting on big girl pants is to piss in them. On a seat one of the MN brigade is going to sit on.

Slightly damp on a Ryanair flight? Me and my fecking big girl pants. Moist at the school nativity? Me and the damn pants again. And you thus surely don't need to ask about why you are so wet at a Take That concert?

Aye, stick your big girl pants where the fecking big girl pants would cover - if anyone was sad fecker enough to wear them

Oh God, I hate this. MN has millions of users. But no, someone connected to the thread has found it and, rather than phoning the OP and saying ‘Oi, bitch - why are you slagging me off to strangers online?’, they pretend to be someone else who thinks they’re in the right.

"FEWMIN " I love that though, it's such a scouse-ism

I detest "Big Girl Pants", "That Parent" and "Your Whatever, Your Rules"

"Cherchez La Femme". I forgot about that one. I saw it yesterday in the same post as "pack his bags" (which I posted about earlier).

'Calling out', reminds me of one Regency buck slapping another one across the face with a gauntlet, calling him out for a duel.

My pet hates are those stupid little faces that apparently mean sceptical, confused and shocked. A poster instantly loses points with me when they use those.

I don't know why, and I know it's totally irrational, but the words 'a quick google' annoy me! I know this phrase certainly isn't exclusive to MN by the way,I see it in many other places.

I say that's bang on LadyR, bring on the bitch-slapping rakes...

Oh God yes. Especially when the post consists of and nothing else. Let’s burn these people for fuel.
