"This with bells on"

"This!!!!"

"First reply nailed it as usual"

"You are awesome / my hero op"

"Are you on glue?"

"Are you ok? 😬"

So what does it mean, exactly? I knew there'd be someone along shortly with a nasty comment.

Get your ducks in a row.

If you lived in.....
then goes on to state well if you lived in (names) another county/country when clearly that bears no relevance as OP lives where they live.

ICK

Replies to a post that twist/add things that the OP haven't even said.

Ick" is a slang term that is commonly used to describe a feeling of disgust or aversion towards something or someone.

From Dr Google.

K0OLA1D · 03/05/2024 11:25

I say are you on glue. That's from the Pheonix Knights outtakes not MN. I've rarely seen it on here

Yuck.
Makes my teeth itch
Also, give me the rage, which coincidentally all 3 of those saying do

CF - For ages I thought it meant C**t Face as I couldn't think of any other alternative.

Shitty ie shitty behaviour, shitty attitude. I just hate the word shitty, eww.

Red flags, RUUUUNNN

😂

Newsenmum · 03/05/2024 11:26

Quite

unbelieveable22 · 03/05/2024 11:26

I mean this kindly

Gently OP but......

Knittedfairies2 · 03/05/2024 11:31

'Thoughtful gift'. Some people seem to be incapable of buying an ordinary gift here.

LoveWine123 · 03/05/2024 11:31

All the dears…DH, DS, DD, DSD, DSS, DDDDDDDD….

Who the fuck talks like that in real life? Even you don’t think they are that dear the way you describe them in your posts.

Georgethecat1 · 03/05/2024 11:33

Give your head a wobble 😂

Daisybuttercup12345 · 03/05/2024 11:33

Hubster and grand babies.

Crumpleton · 03/05/2024 11:36

Oh.

My biggest one, but it was long before I knew of MN, is dear step son/daughter when the one posting isn't even married to their parent.

BusyCM · 03/05/2024 11:36

Talk me down!

loropianalover · 03/05/2024 11:38

Not specifically a saying but I hate that everyone contorts what they want to post so that they can post it in AIBU.

So ladies, AIBU to think I should dump him after he’s cheated thrice and given me crabs and not paid the mortgage in 20 years?

AIBU to think I can’t wait to retire?

I need new jeans - AIBU to ask you where to buy?

“You sound utterly joyless” said to someone trying eat healthily, usually by competitive overeaters.

weaseleyes · 03/05/2024 11:39

"And what did he say when you asked him...? as a pissy way of seeing if you've discussed something, when the whole point of the post is usually that the person doesn't know how or if they should bring something up.

SerenChocolateMuncher · 03/05/2024 11:41

I agree with everyone who has mentioned the Ds. They are pointless, confusing and unnecessary.

What is wrong with my "husband", "daughter", "son", "youngest child", "oldest child" "son's friend"?

SwingTheMonkey · 03/05/2024 11:41

My most hated is ‘not your circus, not your monkeys’. It’s just fucking nonsense.

StillYourFavouriteRegret · 03/05/2024 11:41

I hate when people refute a point by saying 'You do know...'

If you countered a point with that simmering superiority in real life, you'd get chinned, and rightly so.

PorkPieandPickle · 03/05/2024 11:43

‘Use your words’.
It just comes across as so patronising.

PossumintheHouse · 03/05/2024 11:45

"I rarely say this, but LTB"

...A hell of a lot of people seem to say it.

Gently OP but......

When I see "kindly" and "gently" I know to brace myself for a whole new level of cuntiness to be unlocked.

AuntieJoyce · 03/05/2024 11:47

I think not reading and running and mum’snetty hugs are kind gestures when somebody is feeling bad. I can’t imagine getting riled by those

Agreed re teeth itching though. Who in real life ever had teeth that itched? Dentures maybe

Can I contribute tribe?. No, you’ve not found your tribe unless you are posting from the Amazon

Iloveshoes123 · 03/05/2024 11:53

My teeth are itching - this annoys me along with boils my piss which just sounds disgusting.

Oneearringlost · 03/05/2024 11:55

Predictablenamechange1 · 03/05/2024 10:59

I particularly hate the overuse of 'vile' too. I don't think I've ever heard this spoken out loud but here it's on half the threads.

You beat me to it, @Predictablenamechange1

Overuse of exclamation marks

"Makes my teeth itch"
