Words/phrases you never say…

[Hairybaker]

I see a lot of language on mumsnet and other places that I just can’t imaging myself ever writing/saying.

Some that spring to mind:

Batshit crazy
Yummy
Hubby
Super (as in “that was super tasty”)

All of the above make me shudder. What words/terms do you see used a lot that would never come out of your mouth?!

Lush and "love you all the world" 🤢

"We're on the market" No you are not, your house is.
"We're pregnant" Really? I doubt that.

No adult should be saying tummy

I don't see that as much as 'confront'. People seem always to be 'confronting' each other (or considering it) over the tiniest things. Conversely, nobody can tell their neighbour politely that they don't like music turned up full whack at 3am because they 'don't like confrontation'.

I don't mind 'tummy' as a general word for stomach or abdomen, but I do ind it as a word for womb/uterus. I never talked to my older dc about their siblings being 'in mummy's tummy'. Women do not carry babies in their stomachs.

*mind it, obv. FFS.

Perhaps. I don't get invitations to events with real champagne 😂It just annoys me that it needs to be mentioned that "bubbles" are being served, especially on "ladies only" events UGH. Pampering and bubbles 😶My pet peeve.

Moving Forward gives me the rage. Not sure why.

Saying Santa instead of Father Christmas winds me up for some inexplicable reason! My MIL says it and I have to bite my tounge.

Actually laughing so hard etc did happen last night as I happened to read about Martin Roberts' dog leaving dog poo all over the place and MR not picking it up. I'm laughing now just typing it out.

I forgot to add my own. As long as there is breath in my body I will never utter the words "I'm a real GIRLY girl, I love hair, make up and getting my nails done". Well in that case I am a German Shepherd because I care not a jot for those things. I do understand though that the phrase "I am a stereotypical Western ideal of what a woman should be and I perform femininity" is a bit of a mouthful.

Why do people hate "bits"? What context? Instead of genitalia? Or as in "picky bits"? Or "doing bits"? Or bits and bobs?

I agree, I'm 100 % for breast feeding, but I hate the "baby wants boob" etc...

Always Santa or Santy in Ireland 😁

Little man is vile. As is the word 'lush' 'that cake was lush'.
A friend has replaced super with uber 'it was uber fun', and he seriously gives me the ick because of it. He also says 'nom nom nom' and is generally a loveable cringe.

Some people don't like ick but I can't think of another word that sums the feeling up...

Nothing ever makes my teeth itch, or boils my piss. Never seen those anywhere but here.

Ditto the love of 'grim'.

Revulsion

I can’t be doing with doggo or pupper, it sounds like you’re talking to a toddler.

Not particularly on Mumsnet but cannot stand this "my truth" crap.

My bad

I hate RIP that people write after a death …not sure why but I really cannot bare it for some reason .

We say Santa, Kurt Russell is Santa Claus in The Christmas Chronicles.
