Most Mumsnet thing you've heard someone say?

[Vacantstare]

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🤣

“Get to fuck”

Ive never heard anyone say this in real life. Ever.

Isn’t this missing the point of the thread then? I thought it was about MN phrases you have heard in real life. We don’t need yet another compilation of MN phrases…

(HTH 🤣)

I bet you’re fun at parties 😉

That’s a popular Mumsnet one and I hear it in real life too.

What’s HTH?

Anytime there’s a whats mumsnetty about you thread I think nothing really, but on this one I realise I say

get to fuck
appalling cunt
utterly
unhinged
and batshit

All the fucking time. Appalling cunt though, not atrocious, so that’s something

Hope that helps

pleasantly passive aggressive

Loads of these are common phrases where I live.

The word that makes me think of MN is 'incandescent', I think I've heard it used twice irl. It's not used as much anymore, but everyone on here used to be incandescent with rage.

Also say incandescent regularly

Oh god.. …

Yes! I only ever see people say, ‘I’m howling’ on MN too. I don’t know why but it really irritates me everytime I see it😂

Isn’t this missing the point of the thread then? I thought it was about MN phrases you have heard in real life.

Whoops!

I've only ever heard the word 'ghastly' spoken in real life about 3 times. I've read it here about 50 times.

My Glaswegian brother-in-law says ‘Get tae fuck!’ all the time!

It's a great word.

I wish I had the opportunity to say it regularly, but I haven't found much need for it unfortunately.

You'll be thinking of MN next time you say it now 🤣

Taking darling dog to doggy day care

'My mum died when a fat midwife fell on her so we moved to France.' 😋

My salary has just gone up to £100k can I get free childcare?

Noi haven't heard that in real life. I don't know anyone who earns £100k.

Call her out, all I see is Heidelberg and men with swords saying En garde and big scars on heir cheeks.

FUCK OFF. Center Parcs is extortionate🤣

That depends. If you go during English schools term time it's actually pretty reasonable.

My friend said something “woo” had happened to her the other day. Woo! Wtaf. Only usually see it on here

Have you never been to Glasgow then? 😂

Things being "vile" or someone being "livid" has definitely made it's way into my "real life"

I thought "atrocious cunt" was from Withnail & I but I looked it up and it's
"[you] terrible cunt"
Meh - close enough. 🤷‍♀️

Ick is from "Friends", isn't it?

Get a grip

All the replies so far are things people DO say in real life, that made it onto Mumsnet because those posters say them. Except this one! This is gloriously, specifically, uniquely Mumsnet and I'm delighted the shoppers enjoyed it 😂

I thought it was from ‘Why Mummy Drinks’ books, which started out on Facebook (I think) as ‘Peter and Jane’, about a long suffering mum of two DCs, who I think was a (fictional) mumsnetter herself 😂 it was used to demonstrate things like the innumerable requests for snacks / needs for random items for school / glasses of wine required to survive the primary school run up to Christmas, from memory. Still makes me chuckle!

I think get to fuck is a northern thing

Anytime I hear someone say 'unreasonable' I think of MN

Rarely heard in real life, as I don't live in an Enid Blyton novel, but there's a very MN way of discussing how people eat their Massive Salad, Naice Ham and Choccies - scoffing, gobbling, chomping...
