Sayings on MN that bug you!!!

[MJCadman]

Off the top of my head....

"This with bells on"

"This!!!!"

"First reply nailed it as usual"

"You are awesome / my hero op"

"Are you on glue?"

"Are you ok? 😬"

Another one is when people feel the need to drop in their qualifications into a reply.
Or the fact that they went to Oxbridge. Or that their kids do.

I came to mumsnet very recently so cannot get my head round the whole letter thing and spend so much time working out what the poster is referring to with a random jumble of letters, just type the words, grr

Also the 'D' thing
Dhamster
DTortoise
Dpostman

It conjures up to me a gaggle of stepford wives crocheting blankets and making jam

Rip him a new one …..said when someone’s feckless partner (that they know is feckless but they stuck with them) does something feckless.

Utterly abhorrent expression.

Hilarious I want a goth hamster!
What is naice ham anyway anyone purposefully buy naaastie ham?

It's like being in an awful team meeting, something my previous boss would say while everyone is sitting there looking bored.

"And the rest, as they say, is history." Not unique to MN but usually used on here about a marriage. Eg "I met my husband in Sainsburys, we married and the rest is history." As if they are a famous couple whose marriage went down in history.

"OP, I say this gently......."
😡

You do know that grapes are sugar bombs

The words "for context" overly irritate me. I feel like you could just remove them entirely and it would make no difference to what's being said.

Also;

"this"

"Nurse here", "Dog walker here", etc

"You'd don't seem as though you like your friend very much"

I'm shaking and crying as the plumber used my toilet

'Naice' ham comes from a thread started by someone who found a random shopping list left behind by someone at the supermarket. That's how they had spelled it on the list.

For me at least it's not so bad when it's an established acronym like DH and DM, @PriscillaPresssley; the problems start when someone in the thread mentions some "celeb" and then they become just their initials

So for example you're thinking someone's on about their mother, and after some confusion it turns out "DM" is Davina McCall

@Puzzledandpissedoff
That's true, but as a relative newbie even the simpler ones confused me, DP is it a parent or partner for example. But I get there eventually😁

When people title a thread “It’s a mother in law one”…. “It’s a sex one”…. “It’s a homework one” etc. Don’t give me a category, just say what the problem is!

Does he aye

Should I "reach out"?

Oh fuck off. Do you mean contact? Put your bloody grasping hand away.

Ha ha, I saw that - the physical reaction to her 'friend' supporting Reclaim/Reform.

I hate 'drip feed' - only about 10% of the time is it appropriate for people to jump on the OP about drip feeding

Is that part time? When you dare to admit on a salary post that you earn under 25K.

These are the types of men which troll the FWR board.

I could be wrong (it happens often) but on here maybe 'the ick' tends to be used to describe the abrupt cessation of sexual attraction to a partner for some reason.

Agreeing with all the previous ones especially the itching teeth but would like to add 'Talk Me Down' - I always think from where - where the hell are you sitting?!

Basically every phrase ever used on Mumsnet irritates someone.

All the ‘use your words’ and ‘big girl pants’ infantile crap. You’re talking to an adult, not a tantrumming toddler.

Fuck off to the far side of fuck and then fuck off some more - your oh-so naughty swearing loses a bit of punch when packaged in tweeness. See also twatbadger and variants.

I love the bones of him - mawkish and macabre at the same time. Thankfully rarely see it now.

When people quote a really long post, maybe ten or twelve paragraphs, just to say 'This'. Drives me mad. So much scrolling to get to the reply and it's only a single word. Agh!

As a couple of PP have said, 'Not your circus, not your monkeys'. I read a thread the other day when it must have been said at least 10 times in 5 pages.

Beginning a sentence with 'But surely'. It seems so passive aggressive.

Another vote for 'Give your head a wobble'.

The confusion of whether DS means son or sister, so people write DSis. Why not just type 'sister'? It's only two letters longer.

That one bugs me too!
