Sayings on MN that you cannot stand!

[Namechangedforthreadbackafter]

Inspired/copied/due to lack of my own ideas

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

I hate the demand for a diagram on a perfectly easy to understand parking/wheelie bin/annoying neighbour thread. Fine, if it actually warrants it, but “neighbour keeps parking in my parking space” followed by “you know the rules, diagram please!” is just not necessary, and to me looks like people trying to be part of an in-crowd (that may or may not even exist)

I have some words rather than phrases. I wish people would stop saying “naice” and describing everything as “super” - as in “super smart”, “super friendly”, “super excited” etc.

PurpleDaisies I think it is more now but I have seen plenty of threads where people seem to think its an option

Twee names for vagina/vulva (eg foof, fanjo)

I think I may have anger issues...

Saying 'think' and then an example close to what the poster is talking about. Just say what it is, or say 'its like...'

He/she/they sound unhinged!

All the "popping"!
Fuck off to the far side of fuck off etc.
Ducks in a row
Did you mean to be so rude?
Give your head a wobble- I HATE this one!!

There's so many. I do believe that "no" can be a complete sentence though. It's in the delivery. It certainly works for me... but perhaps I'm a rude, scary bitch .

Yeah the saxon swear word followed by 2 syllable animal thing. Cockwomble, twatbadger etc

All the people banging on about not being hungry as they eat huge salads

I hate the word veggies, always used alongside a smug description of their competitively low calorie dinner “just fish and veggies” or what their kids snack on “cheese cubes, breadsticks or veggies”
Maybe I’m just having a bad day

In what sort of situations? The threads where people say to do it are usually complex situations involving friends, colleagues or family members. You can’t really expect to just suddenly say “no” and think that will sort that sort of thing out. Different if it’s “do you want to go to the cinema tonight?”

I thought picky tea was a myth but it was said the other month

I do love vegetables by the way as do my children if they’re puréed and mushed in a saucebut we call them vegetables or their actual names.

Bubba/bubs/babba/mumma/mamma.

Usually on SP threads “You knew what you were getting into”.

PFB
Folk - some people on here are obsessed with using folk. It's annoying.
Fuckery
Boils my piss
Makes my teeth itch.

Just shut the fuck up

This!

But someone is about to come along and say they hate quote and “this”

‘Just a thought’, ‘just my opinion’, ‘just my two cents’ especially if followed by a !. I don’t know why it annoys me, it just does. And I HATE the phrase ‘look at this bad boy’ when it’s being used to refer to a thing instead of a naughty male child.

Any sentence that contains both Christmas and magic.

"Xxx will be along in a minute to flame you so don your hard hat OP" or anything along those lines. Usually nobody comes along to do as the PP predicts.

The Benefits and goats thing just isnt funny, yeah it might have amused people in a thread many years ago but not any more
Same with Benefits and flat screen tv, i have had one for about 15 years, dont most people have flat screen tvs now?

"Crack on" spread like a rash on the Covid threads and doesn't seem to be going away. Drives me nuts.

Yes what did your toddler eat today? Then they list what their toddler ate and they know it's good they just want to be smug!

As I’ve just seen this on another thread, I’ll mention the MN habit of providing people with an unsolicited but detailed script for what to say in some difficult situation, rather than just giving the gist.

I absolutely detest the phrase 'going forward' but I can't explain why.
I also hate mumma/bubba/hubby etc
'Cuppa' and 'brekkie' really make me angry!

"Full time parent" - errr I think you mean SAHP as parents don't magically stop being parents when they go into work

I hate just want to spend time with my little family. After having my children I wanted to show them off.
