To think that vile is the most overused word on mn.

[Calistano]

Is all I can think of when I hear it. I mean it's quite a strong word, perhaps distasteful could be used for perfectly reasonable views that you disagree with.

🤣🤣 Competitive cleaning. That's a sport I learned about from MN.

Oh I love grim and vile. Says so much with so little.
They're great when used properly.
'vile' is an excellent word choice to describe some of the behaviour on some relationship threads.

I can't take grim seriously anymore though. Grim seems to mean anything from genuinely wallowing in utter filth to "my husband left an empty mug on the kitchen side for 10 minutes and he doesn't stack the plates in the dishwasher in the way I like".

it is popular! But no , the most overused word is baffled , followed closely by simply. Horrid was top of the leader board for a while but tf that seems to have calmed down.
while we’re on the subject , Why do people ‘pull’ their kids out of school?!

Oh yeah, baffled. "I am always baffled by..."

It's always said about something really simple, too. I've seen posters saying they are always baffled by hot chocolate and Christmas pyjamas. If I was baffled by those things, I really wouldn't admit to it.

The outrage about stuff happening “in a cost of living crisis!!!!” is good too. It’s always a huge overreaction about nothing. Nice to have replaced “…..in the middle of a global pandemic!!!!” though

I vote for "controlling".

God, i use the word vile sometimes IRL, but only with that voice 😅

Also "tone deaf". Mainly used when someone has a different lifestyle to the OP and dares to mention any element of it.

I vote for “veggies”.

Or “love language”.

Or maybe they just irritate me.

What does it mean?? I have asked this before and crickets. I am missing some vital context. I get the gist of it, but have no idea of the origin.

For God's sake, did quote, meant the bridge thing.

Did you know that love language thing was totally invented by some grifter selling a book, fuck all behind it, yet its quoted forevermore.

Definitely grim.

At the risk of sounding dumb, what's " love language"? I've been here for some time but never come across it

Grim ... the only time I ever see this word is on here

I see your toxic vile and raise you fuming.

I'll put my money on narc / narcissist.

It's astonishing how many MNers have personal experience of or the ability to diagnose a vanishingly rare psychiatric condition.

Yes.

Along with "suspect" (as in," I suspect"); "cohort"; and "latter". All are just so annoying. It feels pretentious, or smug. I don't know why!

Oh no, I think where I have seen Vile used, it is normally well required. And ever more so on here,

Also, any chat that is recommended must require one person to sit the other one down for.

I can chat standing up.

Thanks @SurprisedWithAHorse

It's the overuse of the word, I think. It's unimaginative.

It's a good phrase. Go forth and use it.

My vote goes to boundaries .Then no contact. Then low contact. Then toxic.
