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? 😬"

Can’t bear this expression. Not sure why….

Oh yes, unnecessarily mentioning qualifications!

"When I was studying for my second degree, the next door neighbour's cat would regularly shit on my lawn".

The "insert profession here" always brings to mind an image of a crowd of people faffing and flapping and not knowing what to do until The Great Expert comes elbowing through to dispense wisdom.
Particularly satisfying as it's invariably on a thread where (for example) an OP has asked something about school, and numerous posters have already answered without having to do the "let me through, I know what to do" thing.
Then in comes "teacher here".
And everyone else on the thread (by definition also teachers on a thread about teachers) collectively eyerolls.

Or when the title is "To think that..." or "Am I wrong to...."

At least give some idea of what it's about.

When people say what they would do in a situation and it's completely insane..

Mumma bear.

"...Ive had to learn morse code to read half the threads.
DM/DML/DB/DS/DSs/DD/DSd/DBIL/STBXH/DXH/DGP/ and so on..."
I have the same issue, it would be useful if they were 'hyper-linked' to the actual meaning.

But in the spirit of the thread -
any percentage over 100 of a finite capacity.
e.g. DP gives 110% of his time... well, he can't and he doesn't.

Love the bones of him is normal round here! I mostly associate it with Irish friends of mine but it's pretty widely used in the UK too.

Agree with your others though.

'Did you mean to be so rude?'

I liked the sound of it. Used it in real life. They said 'yeah' and I was stumped as to where to go from there. Realised it's a pretty useless phrase.

‘Privileged’ and ‘go and educate yourself’ 🥱

"He's a great dad"

Not if he abuses you, their mother, he isn't.

Oh, and I haven't seen ODFOD on here for a while...

Oh dear, I love a picky tea. Also known as freezer tapas.

Any opening post that starts ‘So,’

For context

Fast forward

I can’t bear “love the bones of them” - absolutely with you on that one!

People use “I have the ick” because there’s a contingent of people who have decided “the ick” is very definitely A Thing and therefore cannot be argued with, meaning you can ignore your own behaviour or any sense of fairness and just say, “But I’ve got the ick! Once you’ve got the ick, that’s it!!”

“That would make my fanny slam shut”. Used so often, always so cringe.

Ah yes I hate when people mention their husband's opinion. 😂😂

"He's had his head turned " or "she's turned his head".

Rarely said about women, but apparently men have no control of their heads!!!

‘D’ anything. Using abbreviations doesn’t make anything quicker to type, it just makes it harder for the person reading it.

'I just spat my tea/coffee all over my keyboard' - you didn't though did you

And ODFOD 😠

😂😂😂

"I was just a little bit sick in my mouth".

This is the worst!

DC DH DDog etc drive me up the fucking wall and it’s just so cringey. Just type Husband Daughter Son Dog FFS!

“Snorting into my tea”.

“It’s an inheritance one”

”It’s a MIL one”

“We have a combined salary of £1,000,000 but huge mortgage, tax, 15 ponies and 10 cars (for DH hobbies) mean we are just scraping by”.

Have you ever seen a head wobble?

The word 'hubby'.

It all depends on the context, doesn't it? With niche topics it can be relevant.

If the thread is about what age a child should start guitar lessons, for instance, and the poster's DH just so happens to be a guitar teacher, his opinion is going to be fairly helpful to the OP.
