Sayings on MN that you cannot stand!

What phrases/come backs/irritating things do people say on MN?

@SirYawnsAlot your post made me laugh so much I spat coffee all over baby

Put on your big girl pants

Why is sex always 'great'? no other adjectives allowed.

'D' as a prefix e.g. "My darling husband took darling son and darling dog to the park".

"Inhale" when they mean 'ate' e.g. "I sat in my car and inhaled a danish pastry."

"Just move home"/"just change job" as if it's that easy for everyone.

"Not all men are like that"/"this thread is sexist" on threads discussing sexual harassment.

Seen 'mom' loads recently and im going to say something. I dont give a shit if they say it in birmingham.

The extra 'D' for H, W etc drives me nuts but the worst has to be when someone says "My dcat" or "My DDog" - what is the point of that when you could just say my dog or cat? And doesn't it autocorrect, so you have to go back and change it again?

'And breathe'. Particularly when it's spelled 'breath'.

It's the correct term for the first meal after the wedding, though. Comes from the time when the wedding party would all be fasting beforehand, so it did indeed break the fast. Plus it reminds people that this is a significant first for the couple.

That honestly doesn't matter to me, it still feels like a load of wank 💁🏻‍♀️

It’s spelt ‘breathe’ as in the verb

"Going against the grain"

Not sure why

@99victoria

'How old are you? You sound really young'

'Are you 12?'

It's specifically the wording "are you quite young OP" that gets me. Patronising gits. Probably doing a head tilt and tinkly laugh as they type, thinking they're the shit.

"You'll never get the time back".

Well I'm Irish and we say mom here too so tough luck 😜

Have a glass of wine.
You sound young.
Boob monster.

"Going against the grain"

Not sure why

That annoys me too especially when lots of people had the same opinion or the OP is clearly unreasonable

I've just seen one! When poster A makes a statement or whatever on what they think is the right course of action and poster B quotes it and says "spot on!" Like they're the bloody expert who can validate the views of posters.

@StarshipsAreMeantToFly

"Going against the grain"

Not sure why

Because usually it isn't?

To go against the grain, you'd have to be going against your own instincts, not the consensus of the thread.

When in response to a partner spending too long on a hobby/friend etc, the reply is "next weekend book yourself into a hotel for the night and leave him to it". It's just not realistic is it

@DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult

On here and life in general.

"Curl up with a book"

Absolutely nobody fucking curls. People are more likely to shrimp up with a book 🤣

Or hunch over it like a bird of prey :)

'It's not a hill I am going to die on/is that the hill you are going to die on/a strange hill to die on' - came out of nowhere and is now ubiquitous.

And always.... 'Loads of veggies'.

@Lweji I think that's partly it. Partly it's also a bit look at me being so unique with my differing opinion.

"Hill to die on" isn't a MN term, I've been hearing and using it in real life for years.

“Autumn days; crisp walks then snuggling under a blanket with a hot chocolate”. Does ANYONE do this? Autumn here is usually damp, grey and drizzly.

Limerance - autocorrect has never heard of it either; I got ‘Lime Ranch’ and ‘Lime Ran Errands’. Why not just say you fancy someone?

@Lucythewonderdog

“Food of the Gods” irrationally annoys me.

It's not irrational, but I don't know why I loathe this phrase so much either! Just makes me really tetchy 😅
