Lighthearted - sayings that annoy you

[idontalwayslookthistired]

Are there any words/sayings that just make your skin crawl for no reason?

I can't stand 'hubby'
Or 'Bae' ... just what even ...?!

Baby needs fed.
Kitchen needs cleaned.

The baby thing annoys me too and I'm not even sure why.

It just sounds so twee.

"Gifted" and "We're pregnant"- good call!

I also hate "I fell pregnant", or worse, "I fell with DS". It just makes me think of women tripping over penises.

Reach out

@CakeAndGin is "soz hard" allowed tho? Please say it is!

I have a 6 month old and I hate "are you feeding her yourself?" No she feeda her bloody self! I know they mean breastfeeding (which I am) but I think if I was formula feeding I'd still be feeding her!

Also hate boob or boobing. Makes me feel sick. I've found it us only used by people who want the world and his wife to know they're breastfeeding doncha know. Just say feeding! I say I need to feed dd and no one has fainted in horror when they've seen me do it yet.

Also hate "picky" and "bits" (even more so when they're put together). "Grab" is annoying too as everyone seems to be grabbing a coffee/grabbing 5 mins to themselves. Also using get instead of have...."can I get a drink please" in a bar....no that's the bartenders job.

My final two are "gifted" and "to die for". Nobody ever says "I gave some perfume to my friend for her birthday" it's always "I gifted some perfume to my friend for her birthday". It's just popping up everywhere. If anyone uses "to die for" they need to be aware it makes them sound like a cunt.

Reach out
Call someone out on something
Literally (I saw a post here once where the writer said “I literally died when...” No, you’re still alive if you’re posting.
Baby without “the” or “my” or “our” in front of it (“We will move house when baby arrives”, etc)
Gaslighting - completely overused. Someone mentions on here that their husband or boyfriend has made a comment that wasn’t particularly kind “(“you’ve put on weight”, etc) and immediately 20 people respond saying he’s gaslighting. Totally trivializes true gaslighting which is prolonged mental abuse
Movies. Films will do. Unless you’re American
Chillax makes me cringe
Netflix and chill

@BitOfFun rofl with your diagram. Thank you!

And 'mama'! Wtffff!! Does anyone say this in real life? Yes.....my 6mo baby

Supper. I don’t know why, but it makes me cringe.

This must be the most overused topic on the whole of Mumsnet.
Just use the search function instead of dragging this crap up again

I love 'bog roll'. It's just so quintessentially British. Let's face it 'lavatory paper' doesn't have quite the same ring ...

And as for the revoltingly twee "toilet tissue"... I'd rather people called it arseclout.

@whoamitojudge The person holding a gun to your head who forced you to open this thread...should we call the police on them? Are you in immediate danger? Let us know, won't you?

@WaterOffADucksCrack I have a friend who ALWAYS says "then I breastfed the baby." She cannot just say "I fed the baby", it's like everyone needs to know she breastfeeds like she's going to win a super mum of the year medal.

Boobing makes me feel violently sick. I once read "I soothed him with my magical boobies", get a fucking grip ffs, it is food and nothing more.

"But that's just me" - it always seems to be said smugly, with a sub-text of "I'm 100% right".

But maybe that's just me!

Need gone.

I had a man doing some work in my house and every single sentence endedwith him saying " fair do's, like, fair do's".

It’s not necessarily a saying but hate it when husband says it walked your dog for you’ (our family dog) , or ‘I washed up for you’ etc etc

I could get hit by a bus....
My 11 year old son did get hit by a double decker. It was hell
He's ok
Don't be flippant

'spag bowl'

@LoveIsLovely Really? How do you know what I did?
Well for your information I read the OP and then replied as what’s the point of reading all the same stuff as before.
Happy now?

" Love you to the mon and back" and "beautiful inside and out".

@LoveIsLovely
Feel free to call the police though if you feel it would help 😂

Basically
Literally
Like
Myself, yourself
Turned around and said
Babe.

I love 'bog roll'. It's just so quintessentially British. Let's face it 'lavatory paper' doesn't have quite the same ring ...

Give me bog roll over bathroom tissue any day.

Oh and when people say (usually about a rental property they own) ‘it washes its face’, meaning that it covers its own costs.

And ‘swallowed a dictionary?’ If you use a long word that they don’t understand
