Words that I see on MN that make my teeth itch....

[Leighhalfpennysthigh]

For some reason, since being on MN I have developed an irrational hatred towards certain words that are overused on here....namely, "tat" and "snacks" and I don't know why, because they are words I've used in the past! Now, ugh.

And also, even though I've used it in the title, I hate the phrase "makes my teeth itch" it's almost as bad as "boils my piss".

Does anyone else have words that MN have put them off using? Or am I just a grumpy old unreasonable bag?

Posh choc

Or worse, posh wank. I have never heard that ridiculous phrase anywhere other than here. If there is such a thing, why is it considered posh to wank into a sock?

Not a word but agree with another poster re the hysteria over nice things in kids lunch boxes - saw one recently where one mum had "never seen such a thing" as a piece of chocolate in a kids lunchbox 😂

Cannot stand posters who pitch in a total non-comment. A common one which I cannot stand is "Has The Daily Mail picked this up yet?" Why bother saying that? It's not amusing, and if you're that bothered, check yourself. Are you really expecting an answer to that? It's just cluttering up the thread. My guess though is that they think they are being amusing.

Ditto the posters who say "Name change for this but I am a long time poster. Penis beaker, snapped and farted, Sistine Chapel" etc etc. Hhhhmm; that doesn't really prove anything.

Munching
Yes. And any other word used to describe generally overweight people eating like gobbling, slurping and stuffing their face. It's hideous.

Fuck off Daily Mail/Daily Mail are cunts or any variation thereof. Do posters really think that DM writers can’t redact?

No experience with this...

No advice but...

hysteria I absolutely hate that sexist term that is only used for females.

Should of
Naice

Also,the unusual use of the singular when talking about fashion etc.

"I paired it with a bright lip"

"I teamed them with a chunky boot"

What is wrong with bright lips? Or bright lipstick? Or chunky boots?

Come to think of it, paired it and teamed it as well.

Norks

Makes me want to scream!!

Any of the shortening of food words like
Toms, jkt pots, spag Bol, veggies

And hot choc, so beloved of bloody Christmas boxes

Also yum, yummy or other variation.

there seems to have been an explosion of "hubby" lately. That one makes me want to smack someone in the mouth

I hate tat as well! Never used to. I just see it so much here. If I see someone giving advice not to buy tat I envisage them as someone who sneers at a well meant gift of supermarket wine and won't let their children play with any fun toys, because anything that hasn't been bought off Babipur is 'tat'

I swung by, which makes me think they’re on a rope swing & have to work those legs real hard to be able to get to wherever it is that they’re swinging to.
It’s just the way we roll 🤔 Did they gain so much weight that they now have to roll as walking’s impossible?

I shall go & have my pudding now. Dessert infuckin’deed!

Sentences which start with See.....e.g....See if that was me, I’d have blah blah blah. So condescending and smug.,

People using ‘adverse’ when they mean ‘averse’, as in ‘not averse to’. I see it so often but only on Mumsnet.

'Also,the unusual use of the singular when talking about fashion etc.

YES what the hell is that?!

Nearly all of these grate, what am I doing on here? Worst; piss or get off the pot, boobing baby - both gross and uncouth. Prepping, hosting, gifting all pretentious. Controlling, entitled etc - often used to give someone an unfair kicking. Oh and "should of".

@PrincessHoneysuckle haha! I didn't notice that, I feel like updating my username to that now.

Oops just realised I started my last sentence with “so”!!! I so should of not done that hun. Sorry for those whose piss it boils 😂😂😂

@Lilyflower1

I’m with you on ‘boxed sets.’

‘Meh’ - I find this a smug and dismissive way to start a post. This sets my teeth on edge more than anything else on mn.

Handholds or hugs. Either needing or giving. We are strangers on the internet. Likely someone whose hand you'd never wish to hold, or have hold yours, or hug or be hugged by. I find it very cringe and weird.

All the Ds.

Just type son, daughter, husband it isn't that hard and makes reading much easier.

"Vile" and "horrid" are massively over used here.

Also "narcissist". Not everyone is a bloody narcissist! Sometimes people are just wankers!

The mocking extension of words. eg unfaaaiir, faaaaamily.
