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

Don't forget Picky Tea.

Whoops, or even Hark the Herald...

It's just bloody embarrassing!!

I've seen "it made my fanny clamp shut" recently and that really gave me the ick.

@Mammato

I agree with everything you've said, but I wont say 'This' as, apparently, it pisses people off. Why can't we have a like button? I know there's a 'thank' button online, but I prefer the app.

I really dislike the phrase "tear him a new one". I skip past the rest of the post.

IYSWIM

Yes I do see…because you just fecking told me!

Im sorry if u can only understand english when the wright spelling and grammer is used. It must be difficult getting threw life like that.

I agree. This is just a way to add 'I'm being a dick and want you to know I think you're stupid'

I agree with the potty shot thing as well. This is not an area of someone else's anatomy that you should be sharing, let alone you're only children's.

Drop the rope is one I've seen recently.If one poster writes it,others seem to copy.

Agreed. Adds nothing except 'I can't be bothered to explain it further so I'm using this as a weak hedge to try to make up for any lack in my existing explanation. I either don't know how, or, more likely can't be bothered to explain it further, so I'm adding IYSWIM to excuse myself from even having to think about trying to articulate myself better.'

“You do know….” and then whatever the dick poster thinks the OP should know. Into the shark tank for those posters.

“Full momma bear mode” 🤢

Oh God, yes. Does my head in.

I always hear people on here complaining about “picky bits” and “picky tea” and I agree they are cringe but I have never heard them in real life.

Where are these purveyors of “picky bits”? Is it a regional thing?

Just sprayed tea all over my keyboard.

And what did they say when you asked them/ challenged them etc.

Didn't want to read and run.

Did you mean to be so rude.

No is a complete sentence.

They've all been around since I joined over 10 years ago and they annoyed me just as much then! Never have I heard any of the above said in real life 😬

Urgh. Anything with “momma” or “mamma” is excruciating. I want to die inside on behalf of people who say this.

When a poster asks "What do think of...?" when asking opinions on something.

Hive mind

Vipers

It's definitely used in the North East (certain parts anyway)

Jane McDonald had a radio 2 show called Picky Bits

I nearly threw Alexa out the window 🤣

@TwinCheeks

Thanks. Definitely not heard round these parts (London). Agree it’s awful.

Not seen that one

What does it mean, I can't work it out

Use your words - although the phrase is helpful in highlighting a certain type of poster

Picky food/dinner/lunch - vom inducing

This. A thousand times this.

I thought HTH was Hit the High Road!🙄
