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? 😬"

Hobby

just say what it is ffs!

"We live rurally"

"Actively" eveything

'Handhold'.

People asking for a handhold.

It's almost always cycling anyway.

Not exactly outing!

There are so so many. People trot out the same unoriginal phrases over and over with every thread like they are contributing something brand new - drives me crazy. One person uses it in the first few pages of a thread literally there are 50 identical posts after that using the exact same phrase over and over.

'The NHS is on it's knees'
'There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing'
'Comparison is the thief of joy'
'Does your DH have form for this?'
'Give your head a wobble'
'Get your ducks in a row'
'We've lost sight of what normal looks like'

This one irks me too, the people who suggest using it along with a head tilt and a tinkly laugh are the same people who finish all their arguments three hours later in the shower when they actually come up with the clever comebacks.

In reality these kinds of "withering" mumsnet phrases rarely work.

Yes rurally! I actually wonder how busy the rural areas must really be with all these people living rurally!

The worst has to be ddog!

I really dislike 'are you me?' ...erm, no.

I also have an irrational hatred of the word 'smart' but that might just be me..

I always thought D stood for Darling not Dear.

I quite like it although I don't think I use it much, normally say OH when talking about DP

Hubs, hubby, bab, lil bub, baby daddy.
Talk me down.
Let's call her......

Instant click out and hide thread.

When people say 'baby'

For example: how can i get baby to sleep at night?

Why have you dropped THE or MY in that sentence?!

Everyone on here apparently lives 'rurally' 🤣

Use your words

Stay in your own lane.

Never hear anyone in the real world say these, only on MN!

'Princessing' 😐

"I'm not perfect but........."

= I'm just as much as a twat as person I am about to rant about.

Give your head a wobble

'Myself' when it should be 'me' or 'I'.

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

And the Whistles/seasalt/anthropologie dresses you’re all salivating over are very impractical for the conditions.

"Kindly“

You just know it's never going to end well after that.

'Can you sell something/get a credit card/move house/re-train/learn to drive' etc etc'
'Time to get a new job/new friends OP'

Like it's that easy to do any of those things!

Oh and doing surveys online to make some quick cash. Where/what are these surveys?? I signed up to YouGov surveys and it took me FOUR YEARS to get £50...

Not Necessarily MN but I was thinking the other day....I work in an office full of younger people and I am sick of hearing:

Vibe
I'm not gonna lie
To be Fair
Huns

I love them all though!

Sigh.

Didn't want to read and run.

Why? No-one knows or cares and the post doesn't help the OP or contribute anything.

"Grim", usually applied to some unfortunate in a competitive hygiene thread. Honestly, failing to wash your towels every day does not make you grim.

Especially as no one can see how many people have read your post, not like other sites.
