Outraged

[Thepigeonsarecoming]

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)

Big girl pants 🤨

"Give your head a wobble"

Hate it, don't know why it just "makes my teeth itch" or as most normal people say, it really irritates me.

My DH is awful because of X,Y,Z but an "amazing" dad. I just never understand that (when most of X,Y,Z overlaps to parenting)!

everybody has "an ancient" car, dog, home, fur coat.

very much used as a status signaller

What on earth possessed you to start this post, OP? I'm astounded that you thought it would be OK.

I like some of these, especially “big girl pants”.

“You do realise that”.... I absolutely and irrationally hate that phrase. It isn’t just on MN but it is where I see it most and have never heard anyone say it in real life.

Wind your neck in.

Hate that one. It’s so dismissive.

"Have some compassion."

" give your head a wobble"

Judgy pants, hoiking up of.

Whoever started that one is another candidate for my rat-infested dungeon.
And ‘judgy’, while I’m at it.

Raging. I've never heard anyone say that in real life, where people get 'really annoyed' at worst.

And I'm so sick of seeing narcissist and narc thrown around like confetti.

You ok hun?

Get your ducks in a row.

I also dislike things like I earned these stripes and blood is thicker than water. It’s so cringe!

Gives me the rage, fuck off.

'I didn't want to read and run'

Yes you did, you just felt like doing a post which meant nothing.

'I laughed so hard I snorted tea out of my nose'

Yeh, sure you did.

‘Thick as mince’ is the one that’s come on recently.
Usually used to describe a politician people don’t agree with who has multiple degrees.

‘And I say this as’ Sounds so bloody pompous.

In real life I hate ‘at all’. As in, ‘do you want any sauce with that at all?’, do you want a drink at all?’, ‘would you want a bag at all?’

Forgot this one..

'Your DH is cheating , so sorry'

Faux sympathy , usually said with no basis whatsoever.

Makes my teeth itch

Baffled
Shocked
Outraged
Seething
Anxiety
Anyone who states they are “shaking” with something (eg rage)
Golly

'I didn't want to read and run'

I literally do not see the point of that one. What does it add? Why not just post the reply without saying it?

The words that I don't like on here are 'naice' and ' yummy'
Naice and the story behind that was slightly amusing about 10 years ago for one post but now people actually use it as a word. They ask about 'naice' areas to live!

With the word 'yummy' I just think ' grow up, you are not 5! I almost except them to say the child like rhyme ' 'yummy, yummy, in my tummy!'

I think I'd rather they described the food as ' naice!!'

“I mean this in the kindest/gentlest way possible...” It’s the same as saying “I’m sorry but”

Really irks me

“Are you on glue” “did you mean to be so rude”

They are so unimaginative.

The oneS that really annoys me are “source?” Or “can you post a link to that”

Fine if you’ve looked and can’t find anything to back it up, but generally it’s done by some clueless random who wishes to disagree with you and have a go, but lack the general desire to take a few mins googling to see if you’re right or not. So they’d like you to do the work for them. Prove yourself wrong so to speak to save them the effort.

Eh no, fuck off, if you don’t agree then build your own argument and come back at me, don’t ask me to do it for you.
