MN phrases that you would ban

[Malahide]

I’ll go first..

Potty shot. 🤢
Makes me squirm. Nobody needs to be sharing their scan photos for strangers on the internet to (probably wrongly) guess their baby’s gender. The whole thing is ridiculous

ODFOD. You’re not allowed to tell someone to fuck off on here, but this ridiculous acronym seems to be acceptable.

I hate loads of these too, but one thing I really hate, which is so common here is people saying “It doesn’t sit right with me.”

‘We need a diagram’ on any parking thread. It wasn’t funny the first time and it certainly isn’t funny now.

'NC for this' - nobody gives a shit, nobody is going to go hunting for your username

'Posting for traffic' - So not remotely an AIBU then, post it in the right section

Everything is a bloody red herring

i Was going to reply with the same thing. It sounds so childish, like a 13 year old would say it and be embarrassed if they heard their mum say it.

'Use your words' annoys me too (someone mentioned it on the previous page!)

And also someone saying (eg) 'Best Taylor Swift songs. DISCUSS!' Don't tell ME to 'discuss' anything, you twonk!

Gives me the ick.

Are you on glue?

Why did you decide to have children with this man?
Log it with 111 just in case
A&E, now

I think people mention name changing to try and show they aren't trolling

I have to disagree with your first point sorry @Nocturna People routinely do advanced searches on posters on here all the time (to try to catch them out/trip them up.) And posters using a 'NC' announce it, because otherwise, you get the 'interesting first post' comments.

Don't forget SAFEGUARDING ISSUE

Absolutely any phrase involving the word “mamma”. Especially preceded by the word “breastfeeding”. I have to leave the room in embarrassment at the phrase “breastfeeding mammas”.

”You’ll never get the time back.” Invariably uttered by women who have the choice not to work to women who don’t have the choice. See also “why bother having children to farm them out to someone else?”

”Its called parenting. You should try it.”

The last two monumentally stupid phrases.

Get your ducks in a row
spidey senses.

🙄

ODFOD (so condescending)
F (just bookmark or watch the thread!)
Quoting Mumsnet classics to show how long you've been here

Just go NC - as if cutting people/family members out of your life is just that easy

I’d hate to read and run

Find your tribe

Calling everything a treat or even worse, a real treat

Ditto. Never heard it IRL but I hate that phrase.

You do you.

Adding "dear" before it makes it ten times worse. Long story with outcome preceded by "dear reader". As soon as I see that I become completely uninterested about the outcome and stop reading.

Hubby, Bubba, Ddog, HTH.
😬

“Baby Daddy” 🤮🤮

Yes yes yes! Been on MN for 16 years. This is a new and unwelcome addition to the canon imo.

have a fondness still for “did you mean to be so rude”

“What did (cheeky fucker) say when you confronted her?” when it’s obvious the poster hasn’t done so as yet and is trying to plan her course of action first

”A&E. NOW.”

Aha hahaha I thought you were talking about "ditto" at first!

Its not a race to the bottom
