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! 😡

Most of these don't bother me but I really hate "lapping it up"
Just makes my stomach churn for some reason. Ugh.

"I think the OP is getting a hard time" (though it's useful for spotting sockpuppets)

"Not this again" (and variations thereof) Because of course we all have time to read every single thread ever written in the last 20 years before daring to start another)

"Scaremongering" though that's fairly recent and used by Borisbots and/or those who don't understand numbers.

“This too shall pass” People don’t say it now as much as they used to, thank god. It’s trite as fuck and complete bollocks.

“Are you on glue?”

“I am literally shaking and sobbing.”

Also fed up of reading "we all have to catch it" in regards to Covid

Er... no we don't.

"My DH says..." I don't care.

Ducks in a row is said instead of telling the poster what ducks in a row involves.

Vile is very overused.

"Are you on glue?" and "Give your head a wobble" are very annoying.

Vair and Naice used to be on here a lot, but have lessened now.

When someone agrees with someone else

"Are you me?"

I get irrationally annoyed at that!

"Are you on glue?"

"Ignore the other posters OP" (yes because your opinion is the only one that matters 🙄)

"I spat my drink out LOLs"

Oh and the fawning "I think I love you a little bit" when someone posts something vaguely amusing

“I am literally shaking and sobbing.”

Weeping is worse

It always reminds me of a scab

"What do you get from this relationship now?" Fuck off!

Also, "makes my teeth itch".

“Nip it in the bud”

Yes to the “literally shaking”. Really? Do people actually shake?

Also yes to the DH oracle. Especially threads where mn’ers give professional advice for someone to sweep in and say “my DH is a lawyer/dr/architect and he says” as if having a Dh with that job trumps the actual people on the thread with that job...

“NC for this, but long term poster- penis beaker, Mexican house thief, snapped and farted, screamed at the cisteine”

Yes! I’ve never understood this. It’s not a secret code

I haven’t been on here for a couple of years, but do people still say “makes me stabby”? Oh god I hate that phrase, awful

Boils my piss
Naice

@bluebluezoo I do actually shake quite a lot, I think it’s a response to adrenaline.

Yes, the 30 minute free legal advice that posters on mumsnet have granted all legal firms. I really think not. Also "shit hot lawyers". No, many make little difference, are indifferent and charge a large amount of money for the privilege - most, not all. Who is this SHL. In what way are they shit hot?

Please ignore poll, I didn't mean to add one!

"Mumsnet is a safe space for women to chat"

What part of 'public forum' makes it 'safe'?

Argh 'give your head a wobble' and 'makes my teeth itch' 🤢
It also annoys me that everything is extreme and severe, usually a drip feed of extreme and severe something or other that makes the op right when anyone disagrees.

''just that really''

Usually the first line of a post that has been posted in AIBU.

What's annoying about it though is that they almost always go on to write a paragraph below it anyway

So then I think well it isn't ''just that really'' then is it if you've still got something to add and you may as well not have even typed ''just that really''...

'Toms and pots' Nobody actually says these words so why use them?

Norks used to annoy me, but I haven’t seen it used in ages.

And AF for periods? Just call them periods. It’s no better than calling them ‘the curse’.

"Naice"

'I didn't want to read and run'. Seems to mean, 'I haven't any useful advice for you, but I want you to think I care.'

"didn't mean to post this in AIBU*

Of course you didn't
