To ask what commonly used 'MN catchphrases' really get on your wick?

[bathsh3ba]

For me, it's 'and rightly so'. It sounds so bloody sanctimonious and grammatically it just feels wrong! 😡

People posting 'I thought MN was all about supporting mums' when they get responses they don't like

LolaSmiles these are always thw people who have a very niche role, there's only two of them in the ENTIRE WORLD doing their job.

Narcissist- massively overused
Controlling- massively overused
Abusive- overused

These things are seriously real but it seems to me that often any slight difference in opinion or dubious ways of doing things and a normally perfectly ok person can be labelled controlling/abuser/narcissist rather than just- acting like a bit of a twat .

‘Rainy day fund’. A lot of people on here assume everyone has thousands in savings, and if they don’t it’s because they’re poor planners or lazy that they haven’t worked hard enough to earn enough money to save.

To add insult to the injury, they then start badgering OPs who have had something happen and they are in the shit financially on what they have spent their money on and why didn’t they plan for these eventualities.

Abusive- overused

Omg couldn't agree more. There was a thread recently where a posters mum had gone on a lockdown bender and they couldn't find her the next day (she was deliberately hiding with a family member to piss them off in the end). Ops dad had locked the door at night assuming the mum had a key (unaware she had lost it while pissed) and some posters were going in and on about the bloody dad being abusive for locking her out they were posting links to womens aid it was like the bloody twilight zone.

D anything - especially DDog. It’s hardly an abbreviation. exdh/exdh - if they’re an ex why the D

Because they were a DH once

Just looking for an excuse to use my favourite emoji

I do like DDog and DCat personally. Or DLizard in my house.

When someone quotes another post and then says "^this^".
If you don't have your own opinion or anything to add why bother posting?!

It's only a Mumsnet thing because it's all over Mumsnet at the moment, but
Amount of people. Amount of face masks. Amount of beds.
It's NUMBER!
If it's possible to count something individually, then it's number. Amount is an amorphous mass.
And yes, I am the grammar police, and no I can't spell very well, and this post is probably not grammatical and no, I don't care.

"It's an invitation not a summons" to go with the "No is a complete sentence" mentioned above. It may be techically true, but shows a complete unawareness of social norms.

StealthPolarBear Of course those very niche jobs also pay £80,000+ and they are still questioning if they can afford children.

"So much for feminism" = you've disagreed with me so I shall try to argue that feminism is unconditionally affirming any choice by a woman
"Internalised misogyny" = a useful term in some discussions, but on here frequently means 'you have a different opinion to me and I'm obviously right so I shall patronise you by patting you on the head and explaining why your different opinion is proof that you're a foot soldier for the patriarchy'.

I'm a paramedic/doctor/registered nurse working with COVID-19 patients...

Then you should know better than to post about your patients on an open forum, no matter how anonymous you think you are!!

Besides being beside the point, I very much doubt that, Clever. An acronym is something like a word, and pronounced as a word, such as RADAR, commonly now written as plain 'radar'. My point was whether it was permissible within the terms of the thread to mention them. I will not go for the annoying, smug 'Hope that helps'.

Advice to accompany your words with a 'tinkly laugh' often comes with a 'big smile' :o

Woo it just makes me cringe.

"Naice."
"Why did you even have children with this man?" - what's she supposed to do, post the kids back somewhere??
"Name change but..." *list of memorable threads
"No is a complete sentence". It might be, but what about norms, politeness and courtesy?

Probably many others that I just can't think of

Adding another one,

"Outing" As in posters being weirdly worried that some detail of a very common problem will somehow show their identity to all and sundry.

Meh!
No? At the end of a sentence?
The one about monkeys and the circus.

'I cant bring myself to get worked up about it'

Why post then?

Your projecting this.

I hates it as is such a shitty way to undermine someone's rationale.

Has anyone (in real life) ever asked 'did you mean to be so rude?'
What if the answer is 'yes, I did'.

It's not only on Mumsnet but elsewhere online, in newspapers and on tv and radio.

As well as "go away and have a little think about..", of the same type is "I'll give you a clue, "

Eg
Why would the government do something that involves spending money?
Clue, they wouldn't

Spidey senses tingling

Checked out of your relationship

Abusive, controlling, manipulative

'Feel free to check the mumsnet talk guidleines' when someone is challenged for being a bully

“Didn’t want to read and run.”
No fucker would have known if you had.

'boils my piss' such an unnecessary and revolting way to say something annoys you. Makes me wince.
