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! 😡

Cherchez la femme
Pack a/his bag
Plate up

Wow. Just wow. Accompanied by eye rolls.
Vile. Over used by those that clutch pearls.
Grim. Snap.

It just makes me want to kick arses. Hard. Like Ted to Bishop Brennan.

Grim
Toxic. Not everyone you don’t get on with is toxic.

"you must be a man"
"only a man would post that"
MRA
Apologist (of many types)
Stepford wife
Cool wife
Red flag
Vile
Toxic

The mysterious hobbies! 'I am involved in a hobby/dh has a hobby which takes him out of the house every weekend' WHAT IS THE HOBBY?? You must not know because it's too outing! Of course.

Ending massive, tiresome posts with 'rant over' as well.
It sounds so obnoxious. No one gives a shit.

"I'm assuming that x x x x?" Are you assuming something, OR are you asking a question? You can't do both at the same time.

People why try to make themselves sound badass and faux self-deprecating like: "I would have punched him in the face and left him at the altar, but I'm a petty bitch like that."

"Retrain and get a better paid job." As if a 35-year old mum work no connections or anyone to look after her young children can just do a distance course and poof! suddenly her face will fit at a city law firm.

"Take an interests in his hobby! Can't you play together?"
Usually said to a gaming widow whose DP is glued to the Xbox 24/7 and opting out of everything.

"Leave the kids with him and go out all day."
Said to the partner of a neglectful/alcoholic/dangerously useless father who has never had the children by himself, for good reason.

"As long as you get to do the same, it's fine."
Said to a woman whose partner has a hobby that dominates every weekend, goes on "lads' holidays' abroad leaving his partner alone with a newborn, or stays out until 5 am every Saturday night. As if it's possible for two people to be that selfish at the same time and still be a family.

I seen a thread where someone used the phrase "it repeats on me" over a month ago and I can't stop remembering that and being annoyed. Horrible phrase 🤢

The shortened words and just letters I just don't understand.

The amount of women that would leave a marriage over one incident. Whatever happened to making it work and no wonder there so many split families.

The amount of affairs. But I love him he gets me his wife doesn't get him anymore!!

Oh and people who go on about how long they have been on mumsnet and mentioning penis beaker, etc, no one gives a fuck!

Driving an old banger!

As if that’s the way to pay for private school, 4 bed house in a ‘rural’ area and 3 holidays a year. All paid for thanks to driving an old banger!

The use of the word “bits” especially when twinned with “and bobs”. Don’t know why but it grates. I think it is the fact the OP is describing how she only buys a few bits and bobs whilst hubby buys a Rolex or expensive hobby equipment.

The other is “get angry OP”. Yup, everyone wants to be around an angry person 🙄. It’s a sure fire way to win friends or influence people.

Oh, another favourite:

“OP: Am I being unreasonable?
Whole of MN: Yes!
OP: No I’m not!”

There’s always someone who can’t wait to wheel that one out when a thread isn’t going quite as an OP planned.

Ending massive, tiresome posts with rant over

Yes!

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

Can't explain why but 'sanpro' ugh!

Ducks in a row
I read this thread to dh and he said
Just laughed so hard I woke the baby
Log it with the police
And why is everyone “popping” everywhere?My neighbour tried to kick my door in last night. I would pop around and pop a note through his door. Would you aye.

"Just that really"

The one about monkeys and the circus

That is the one that really irritates me. I think it’s much ruder than ‘none of your business’.

Otherwise, I hate ‘boils my piss’, ‘give your head a wobble’, , and competitive non eating and non spending.

Spidey senses tingling...

There’s a few but that one really bugs me. It makes me cringe, it’s like something a child would say.

"In our house"
"Family money"
"Tea (as in meal)"
"Picky tea"
"Chippy tea"

There's a bit of a theme going on there, I think you'll notice :-D

I really hate...makes my teeth itch. I also really hate anything being described as toxic.

"you've got this'
When the person clearly hasn't, ; I've started seeing it everywhere - can't stand it.
Also people laughing so loudly they woke their DH, the baby, the NDN's cat up - really? I doubt that.

"because Coronavirus" and similar.
I've not actually seen that for a while.

Anything with the word 'Twee' in. It makes the poster come across 'Holier than thou' - Which I hate too!
