I overheard a conversation at softplay the other day.

This woman said to her friend that she's not going away this year because they're focusing on sorting things/finances out. And proceeded to say "so we're just going to Center Parcs for a week" as though it was fucking Pontins🤣

FUCK OFF. Center Parcs is extortionate🤣

Anytime I hear ‘unhinged’ or ‘batshit’.

My work colleague has been getting her " ducks in a row " for about 8 years
Every time he pisses her off , she seems to plan a new escape route

@Vacantstare "Did you mean to be so rude" is a hugely overused comment on Mumsnet!

BlondeFool · 11/04/2024 21:09

@Vacantstare the most mumsnet comment I've ever heard! I was in a corner shop and the shop assistant wasn't being rude at all!

I get you🤣

It clearly is a very Mumsnet comment as I'd assumed someone was coming onto my post to berate me for daring to laugh at what I overheard🤣

Give my/ your/his/her head a wobble. Cringe.

I thankfully haven’t heard this in real life, but laugh every time I see “Raise your bar, OP” on Mumsnet.

Another one is “Is your bar that low, OP?”.

Seems to be very popular on here.

Eggplant44 · 11/04/2024 21:57

I haven't seen it in real life, but "lack of a moral compass" is used a lot on MN when someone's beliefs don't coincide with those of the poster.

Ick isn't a mumsnet thing, it's been around since I was a kid...and I'm fifty

Ick isn't a mumsnet thing, it's been around since I was a kid...and I'm fifty

And it's usually not applied correctly here, people ask for icks and it's just a list of dislikes. Icks are irrational. Drives me crackers.

Oh my god this is obscure but people who say UTTERLY. So Mumsnet..I know zero people who use the word utterly

Eleventy billion. 🙈

"You atrocious cunt" - those were the days.
"No" is a complete sentence

I use that, but I thought I got it from the Tubbs (of Royston Vasey) method of counting!

OnHerSolidFoundations · 11/04/2024 23:28

@maudelovesharold i don't know what that is.

imeanwhy · 11/04/2024 23:29

Prob something about clothes drying out and getting "darked on"?

maudelovesharold · 11/04/2024 23:39

OnHerSolidFoundations · 11/04/2024 23:28

@maudelovesharold i don't know what that is.

A series called League of Gentlemen set in fictitious, strange Royston Vasey, where the local shop (for local people) is run by Edward and Tubbs. When they do a stocktake, Tubbs (who can’t count) states they’ve got twelvety of everything!
