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! 😡

that YOU Sharon - doh

"...and I say this as someone who..."

I can't explain why, but this expression winds me up so much.

'Boils my piss! ' It's a horrible expression.
(Oddly enough the C word bothers me less written down and that is a nasty word. )

The dismissive "I wish that was all I had to worry about" or "I wish I had your problems".

"Think" when used in a specific context.

"My OH has a hobby, think Cycling..."

Don't do the 'pick me dance'

Ducks in a row

Oh and this I use this 🖕

Naice.

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

When attributing fictious names to people to protect their identity: 'let's call her xyz'. Hate it!

@cacaca perhaps the D in the case of exes stands for 'dickhead'?

"MIL/FIL/DH/SD/DIL whoever has form for..." whatever the complaint is, they've always got form for it, just to make sure the OP gets the answers they want and not a drubbing for their petty complaint that MIL held the baby too long.

If letters that aren't words can count as catchphrases. From today, for example: AFAB, and on this thread, AAVE.

what the heck is "fanny gallop" anyway?

"picky bits" drives me mad

Sigh
Yawn

what the heck is "fanny gallop" anyway?

I assumed it was the female equivalent of a men's erection? Getting moist in the gusset?
I usually see it used when referring to men that some find attractive like Tom Hardy, Chris Hemsworth, etc

"I couldn't get worked up about this"

I don't know why but that one really gets me worked up!

'Trust me.'

Don't know what a fanny gallop is either. It's a weird thing to post.

Tearing someone a new one. So vulgar.

Agreeing with so many of these ... thank you all for the laughs, I needed them today!

OP this was a brilliant thread idea. I'm appreciating the laughs.

Can I add 'nest of vipers', especially after someone has been really unreasonable, argued with anyone who disagrees and then flounces saying 'i knew I shouldn't have asked on here because it's a nest of vipers'.

Also 'just that really'. Are you really that inarticulate that you can't find another way of summarising your thread title? Not to mention that the thread usually then goes on to give much more detail...

'IYSWIM' winds me up every time I read it 🤬 no I don't fucking see what you mean you plonker stop iyswim-ing all the time

Aaw hun

“He’s a good husband and dad, but....”
He never cooks, or cleans, or changes a nappy, and he gets jealous if I go on a night out.
Yeah he’s a fucking gem.

I’m new here so not come across any fanny gallopers or boiling piss yet
