Is this the most overused word on Mumsnet which isn’t heard in RL? What other words or expressions do you only hear on here? (Lighthearted)

Journeys.

It’s probably irrational but why the fuck is everything a ‘journey’ now?

Incandescent with Rage makes me think of somebody about to spontaneously combust.

Unhinged is another that grates as is "makes me teeth itch" . What ?

Call someone out. How I hate that phrase. Sounds so playground-like, like “I’m going to tell on you”.

Gaslighting is ridiculously overused here. I’m not trivializing the issue, it’s a very serious matter. But it gets thrown around here much too easily. Often the person is just being rude or insensitive. A long, long way from gaslighting.

Why is everything/everyone/every experience “amazing”. Literally nothing “amazing” has happened to me in years Grin

"Stabby" ie someone annoys me so much it makes me feel shabby. Horrible turn of phrase. Only ever seen it on here.

Amazing, oh, yes.
Aliens landed in my garden last night and just asked if they could please use my loo.
That really was amazing!
(Naturally I said no to the loo, ugh, I might have green skid marks to clean.)

Narcissist. Everyone knows one even though it’s very rare.
Gaslighting. It’s usually nothing like gaslighting

No way, as in...Nope. No way would I be doing that. Or no way would they be getting access to my children.

To be honest as in...you sound unhinged to be honest.

You don't have a PIL problem, you have a DH problem.

After half a sentence of complaints....the relationship is over. Please leave tonight. Get him out, change the locks, call a solicitor, get some rest.

'I politely said/asked' normally before the OP gets a mouthful of absurd from wherever they were speaking to.

Horrid

Did you not..?/Is it not..?

There's a lot of prissy, passive aggressive language - I seemed to have picked it up too (only use it on here, would never use it in RL) so I try not to judge, but it is annoying.

"please leave" (as opposed to "I think you should leave") - like the OP has some sort of obligation to the poster..

Wow. Just wow.

I simply cannot get worked up by this

and those lengthy text messages to a CF explaining why " I am not in the position to continue to assist you in taking little Jessie to school considering you've never reciprocated and I feel you are taking advantage . This doesn't work for me" when really No, take your own child to school would do.
