To be driven crazy by a few very, very common expressions on Mumsnet?

[Pineapplesonpizza]

Here are two to start with:

"Just that really." after the initial title of the post, sometimes accompanied by shrug emoji.

The word "surely".

Do you have any that irrationally irritate you?

Holiday as a verb
I holidayed
I am holidaying

Fucking gross

Isn’t it meant to be smug?

Both common everyday expressions in many parts of Scotland 🤣

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g I'm in a city in NE Scotland after what you said about London id imagine my locus makes a difference.
We also have our fair share of nutters.

“My little family”. Toe curlingly twee and invariably used alongside a paean to the joys of retreating from the world and dumping your friends.

“It works for us as a family,”: code for “it works for him and I don’t have the leverage to do anything about it.

”Try parenting your children”: I can’t be bothered to empathise with yoy with the situation you are facing but I really want to judge you.

I didn't want to read and run ...

You get those everywhere. I used to work near a large psychiatric hospital. Years ago if you saw someone walking along the street near the hospital muttering to him/herself you knew immediately s/he was probably a current or former or future patient. Then mobile phones arrived. The other signs are still there, though.

Put your big girl pants on.

Clicky - as in clicky school mums.
it’s cliquey.

I just remembered 'fanny gallops'. And am very much wishing I hadn't. 😫

I often imagine the clique members all navigating towards each other by sonar across the playground.

I've just seen a thread with "mental load" in the title. 😖

Along with "life admin" in the first post.

Cannot stand either phrase. Had to resurrect this thread just to say I hate both these phrases. Another MN use of words you don't hear in real life.

I know it’s from Shakespeare and not exclusive to MN, but ‘neither a lender nor a borrower be’ really grinds my gears. It just sounds so wanky when people use in day-to-day life imo.
