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?!

Sorry OP I use "super". DH laughs at me about it.

Gift as a verb (I have an unofficial and not very strict boycott of anywhere that uses the slogan "Christmas gifting")

Impact as a verb - it's affect

I also hate the expression "squeaky bum time" Yuck. (Sorry if my use of the word yuck offends).

Indeed, this is another one I really really dislike!

Apparently cremant is a good cost-effective alternative to champagne. I might try it this Christmas.

Also:

Humblebrag

Stealth boast

Performance parenting.

Not saying that these things NEVER happen, especially on social media, but I dislike the mindset that anything that is unusual, or even inconsiderate or annoying, must be done for the purpose of showing off, and that the whole of life for everyone is a competition for attention and admiration.

I'm also not very keen on the word 'mindset', even though I've just used it!

Baby girls where I live being referred to as Wee Wifies just makes me want to scream!

What’s not to understand? This thread is about phrases people never say. I don’t say RIP or Rest In Peace. I know what the Initials mean.

I realise I'm a month late but

OP, "belly" is used by the first English novelist (Moll Flanders: a woman under threat of hanging would "plead her belly" to get off, at least for a few months )

And "tummy" cannot be replaced by "stomach". Your tummy encompasses considerably more than that. Including - cf belly, above - the internal reproductive organs.

I grew up in South Wales. It was well lush.
My dad has just moved to live with me in Cornwall and he says it's proper lush as everything is some dreckly 😂🤣

My little man definitely says chicken. But then he doesn't think he's a dog.

What’s not to understand?

I didn't understand what "RIP in regards to - illiterate" meant.

What on earth???

If you lived in South Wales you would hear most people say Daddy and M
ammy

Hubby
Little man
Yummy

Juicy - in relation to something you might experience in some way eg “a juicy read” or “a training course with really juicy content”. I attended such a training course and both the trainer and a delegate used the word so much, I wanted to put my fingers in my ears 😫

Plus quite a few that I’ve read so far on the thread.

People using the word literally countless times in their conversations. Literally fuck off.

"Right then" at the start of a sentence.

'Back in the day'

Agree with never using boob/boobs. >>Cringe.<< Also ‘norks’.

”Make me shudder” Nothing in real life makes me shudder 😛

Not gonna lie - I didn't say that you were!

Cuntychops. I've only ever heard it on here. It sounds like such a middle class, 'aren't I so clever', kind of insult

My almost 5 year old… they’re 4 FFS!!!!!

'Change his/her bum' when referring to a nappy change.

'Boobs' - they're breasts!
