Everybody on MN is mortified, every OP is mortified, everything is mortifying. It seems to be a cover all word for every kind of negative emotion, embarrassment, humiliateion, and even some it doesn’t mean, fear, anger. Yes, it’s quite an adaptable word, but God, it’s mortifying how often it’s written on here. If I had a pound for every time somebody wrote mortified on here I’d be a well off woman, almost as well off as the average Mumsnet user whose DH earns a six figure salary.
AIBU?
