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! 😡

not envy

I’m probably missing some weird inside joke here, but every time I see that I just think “well why not use some other bloody emoji then?”.

have a biscuit
I know this one is an inside joke but it’s so overused now it’s just not even funny. Pages and pages of biscuits is just annoying.

FFS, why can’t people RTFT! (Or variations of).
Yeah we get it, it’s annoying to see the same responses over and over. But seeing “RTFT” over and over just makes it even more annoying.

He's gaslighting/abusing you
Going 'nuclear'
Anything where the word 'boundaries' is used

Ah yes “boundaries “

When really we just mean standards but that’s not twatty enough

The words "disingenuous" , "limerance" and "narcissist" being bandied about.

Also where the OP is told to get paperwork sorted, start siphoning off money, see a lawyer etc in the case of them leaving the DH. Like it's that easy for people to leave and that's all they have to do

Boils my pi** 😡😡😡😡😡😡

anything with d in front of describing a person

gets on my bloody nerves,do you talk like that in real life?if no why on here

I don't know why but this thread has really been making me laugh! So much.
I agree with nearly all of them! What a funny place MN is. A bit like work maybe where a phrase or word does the rounds every now and then.
Totally agree with the 'cockwomble' type twee swearing. Also, although it's not a word or phrase, the food threads where someone describes what they feed their kids. Invariably they only have 'one treat or pudding a week' and everything is cooked 'from scratch'. Similarly on diet or food threads for adults 'that seems like a lot of food to me'. Ugh! So smug.

AIBU to be upset about...
What do you think about...
To be unhappy about...
To do this...

Just put the actual thing in the title!

Haven’t RTFT but for me it’s “plated up” I have never heard/read this apart from on here and for some reason I hate it.

The use of 'reaching out' to someone instead of 'contacting' always flags said user up as a total tosser. Likewise 'sourced' and 'spoke with' instead of spoke to.

Unmumsnetty hug

Where did the whole dh dw dm stuff come from?

Agree with 'boobed to sleep '😡🤢

I’m probably missing some weird inside joke here, but every time I see that I just think “well why not use some other bloody emoji then?”.

Because there isn't a 'vomit' emoji we can use.

This too shall pass is an AA phrase and helps to remind us that things can get better

I’m probably missing some weird inside joke here, but every time I see that I just think “well why not use some other bloody emoji then?”.

I think it’s because the ‘envy’ emoji looks really unimpressed about something, so posters use it for that but then feel the need to explain that they’re not envious? That’s what I’d always assumed anyway!

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but the word ‘snuggle’ (which I see all the time on here) makes me want to vomit.

Sainsbos, chocs, sanpro, sourcing food'- we get it, you are super-duper middle class and obviously your use of English needs to reflect that.

I sometimes do the first 2 but only because I am rubbish at spelling!

I really hate odfod

"What the actual fuck"

🤮

"Suck it up buttercup" - so snide.
"I'm confused" - usually a patronising dig at at posters whose composition may not have been perfect but is actually quite simple to interpret.
Profession specific abbreviation laden posts. Seems particularly bad on medical posts.

What about “robust discussion”? Some posters use it and it reads fine, others use it to mean “we are going to be vile to you and pull you to shreds because we think you are wrong”.

Virtue signalling and Dr/teacher/social worker here!

Ooh weight threads!

O/p- i’m 5’4 and 9.0 stone, does that sound ok...

Head tilt-y posters pile on to say well, it’s within normal range for your height, but I’m 5’7 and 7.5 stone, i’d feel huge/wobbly/flabby/untoned at 9 st.. if you lost a stone I’m sure you’d look and feel much better..
