To detest 'enjoy'

3Britnee · 22/05/2021 14:55

Aibu I"m not though to be sick in my mouth a little bit every time I read 'enjoy' on here? I keep seeing it more and more.

Enjoy your children op.
I bought snacks for us all to enjoy.
DH and I enjoy the occasional film.
We enjoy conversation at the dinner table.

It makes me cringe inside out, and sounds wanky as fuck.

It's almost as bad as 'super'.

I learnt muggy from Love Island where it meant making a fool of someone. Eg “I’ve been mugged off” = “I thought that person was into me and now they’re flirting with someone else.”

But OP isn’t using it that way. OP please explain “muggy cunt”! Do you mean “pretentious wanker”? And how many ways can muggy be used?

I thought this was going be about saying 'enjoy!!' in an annoyingly chirpy way when someone is, say, off to the dentist.

Using it in a normal context, as in 'I've bought some chocolate to enjoy' is just...normal.

Calling someone a muggy cunt says a lot about you, OP...

I ENJOY reading about the petty and ridiculous things that rile up mumsnetters

This has to be a hairy-handed one. 'muggy cunt' would only be used by a teenager trying to be cool or a middle aged football hooligan

you seem to be in the know about who'd say muggy cunt, so which one are you?

I'm neither and I'll be using it from this day forward.

Moonmelodies · 22/05/2021 22:05

I wonder what the OP makes of this fine R&B record ...

@CaptainAwkward

Thought this was going to be about Masterchef.

Fucking hate it when the contestants hand over the plates (who brings the 3rd one in???) and declare ‘enjoy!’

Wouldn’t mind if they said ‘enjoy your soufflé/crisp butty/deconstructed Frey Bentos pie’ instead.

Who does being the third plate in? I've always wondered.

Football hooligan. It's the best phrase to use to start my pre match scrap.

'oi, muggy cunt, ENJOY!' while I punch them on the nose usually does it.

Yes, that's exactly it!

This is completely irrational but I hate "offer" as used on MN when giving children food.
"I offer them broccoli and kale which they inhale"

"Oh Rupert! I sourced bought us some quinoa to enjoy while we watch this super film!"

That's what a muggy cunt would say.

if it's organic it must be offered. that's standard practice.
Maggiesfarm · 22/05/2021 22:25

3Britnee:
In that context it's ok. It's when it's used like this; 'I bought snacks for us all to enjoy'. Like, fuck off you muggy cunt.
......

Why? That sounds really nasty. I'd rather hear the word 'enjoy' than the words you used in your last sentence thank you.

I hate the word pregnant.
Which was a problem when I was training to be a midwife Grin

Some words are just annoying, for no reason at all. completely irrational, but irritating as shit all the same. I hate ‘yay high’ as an expression. Shut up Muriel.

MIL was a French teacher for 20 years. she pronounces "restaurant" as the French do and it makes me cringe every time.
totally irrational.

NCtilidie · 22/05/2021 22:36

Hahahaha @3Britnee my son is called Rupert and we are vegan so regularly eat quinoa. I don't really use the word super but probably do use enjoy. I'm definitely a muggy cunt, soz.

'Yay high', which I've never actually heard anyone say, is surely slang.

'Pregnant' is a great word, it's economic, sums up the condition in one.

Puffinhead · 22/05/2021 22:45

I know of someone on Facebook who will post old photos of her children with the caption ‘Enjoy’.

No I bloody won’t, they’re not my children!!

I have no problems with the word enjoy unless it is said as a instruction /stand alone statement . # I am going to the dentist . . . . Idiot says Enjoy

However to be sick in my mouth a little bit is a stupid statement , firstly its rarely true especially in this particular situation , or has the OP been be sick in her mouth a little bit a awful lot of times while reading this thread ?
And where the hell else would you be sick , I mean I know you would be sick in the toilet / bucket but it is still in your mouth too Confused
