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)

Oh yes and the “sorry your partner is such a horrible bastard” and as a pp said, usually said with no justification at all and pretend sympathy.

I hate telling someone to say 'did you mean to be so rude?'

I cannot imagine using it in RL, I've never heard it before MN and it wouldn't work because it will end up 'yes' or 'no' and get nowhere

"run for the hills" and yes LTB

I don't see it all that often any more but Fuck off to the far side of fuck and when you get there fuck off some more

How can anyone seriously think that ridiculous mouthful is a cutting put down?

Discrimination

So many feel that they have been discriminated against...

EG The supermarket wouldn't let person, partner and children go in to shop together - screams 'it'd discrimination'

I have to go into work one day a week but I have a child 'it's discrimination'

To use a couple of the ones I have seen recently.

I think need to actually think before they shout it's discrimination.

I use 'horrific' in everyday life 😮 well, not every day as my lide isn't quite that bad - yet!

I can't stand it when a poster puts 'no?' at the end of a sentence. As in 'surely you'd just do xyz, no?' 😠

Balling.

I charitably choose to believe that they mean they are 'bawling' in these situations, but..hey, this is Mumsnet.

'You do you' love.

Boundaries

Usually found in all those MIL threads, you know, because they just love to disregard them or OP needs to put them in place to make it as impossible as can be for MIL to see the GC/her son or just keep her away forever

He's shown you who he really is followed by:

Manchild
He's a waster
LTB

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

Yes - and it's always over something so trivial.

Sorry, another one:
Nuclear

I'd be going nuclear at him/MIL/PIL

Only MNers shake with anger

I turned around and said

The expression I absolutely loathe is “mind your own beeswax”.

“You’re the parent, so parent!”

“Put your big girl pants on”

Batshit crazy and unhinged. Who says that in rl?

Err, me and loads of others it would seem

I hate made up names that are deeply unfunny

Wankbadger

is not funny

Woman up!

ODFOD

I imagine the sort of uptight person who used this ^ to be such an arsehole

It seems many of you don't get out much among speakers of English.

@Roussette, that's the point.

Cutted up pear
The washing will get darked on

"Mind your own business"

These threads are regular and tedious.

Grim
Cocklodger
LTB
Gaslighting

All new words to me since joining mumsnet!
