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🤣

To DH, ”I don’t have a SIL problem, I have a DH problem.” After a tricky Xmas.

Just before the first lockdown I read a thread where someone mentioned doing a lightning dash to John Lewis to stock up on marmalade gin. That definitely ranks as one of the most Mumsnetty things I've ever read. 😄

"Well thanks for that advice Mr Random Stranger man"
I'm still waiting to use this. I love it😂

It really is!
I've never heard anyone say any of the terms I read on MN, IRL, but I do find I say things like "grim" all because of MN.

Shit. I use that all the time. Even my kids use it.

Revolting and Ridiculous both feel more like Utterly than Very.

Agreed that British Center Parcs in UK school holidays is extortionate. We looked at a Monday-Friday break at Longleat in May half term. Four nights self catering in the most basic four bed accommodation cost £2500. The price for the same week has come down to £1500 now, but that's still high in my mind.

For comparison, we went to a four star all-inclusive resort in Egypt for five nights during the Christmas holidays, and it cost £2000 including flights, meals and drinks, in a two-bed two-bath suite that, at 120 square metres, was actually bigger than a CP two-bed lodge (even the new three-bed 'Woodland Explorer' lodges at Sherwood Forest are only 115 sq m).

We ended up booking a Center Parcs in France, a return trip on the Channel Tunnel and two nights in Premier Inns to break up the journey, for a total of about £850, so about a third the price of the UK CP at the time we were looking!

Do you think, just maybe, your OP has exactly the same issue as the comment you overheard? It's all relative. For many, many families a holiday at Pontins is something to save for and look forward to. For you, apparently, Pontins would be easily affordable and perhaps something to sneer at a bit. For that woman, Center Parcs was in the same sort of category. 🤷‍♂️

I love 'Get to fuck!' First time I've ever come across it is on this thread!

I know someone who went to center parcs purely because the very expensive work they were having done on their house was too much for them to deal with so they "just booked center parts as its the first place I found that had spaces". Like it was nothing. Some families would save and save for that. She did all the activities while they were there of course. And didn't even view it as an actual holiday.

Definitely when anyone says “the ick” - does my head in.

The ultimate is “love language” although, in fairness, I’ve never actually heard anyone use that phrase not on MN.

Some describing their very heavy overweight 4 year old as "muscled/stocky and slim with no fat on them"

I think it’s only characteristic spelling mistakes I really associate with Mn. Like ‘fumming.’

Hand hold - just hate that phrase!!

I told DD to get some "naice ham" in Lidl and had a proper snigger at my MN ways. Noone else laughed though so I assumed I was on my own 🤣

'Get tae fuck' is very popular in NI. We've been saying it for years. See also 'Away tae fuck'.

I sometimes boil a ham for my kids and OH's packed lunches and do wonder if that makes my lunches mumsnetty. There is sometimes a bit of houmous in there too, which my kids ignore. I guess these are the MN lunches of years gone by, and now they should be vegan and be a massive sprouted mung bean and tofu salad with sourdough.

Get tae fuck or just shorthand "get tae" is very very common where I'm from in Scotland!

I'm Scottish and use this phrase most days.

At least they (Tories)know what a woman is

Cock lodger

Pearl clutching

I think job say all of these 😳
Especially get to fuck but I lived in NI for some of my youth and it stuck
