It really grates on me, and it seems to be the mumsnet phrase of the week....

Can people not think of a grown up thing to say.

/waits for someone to tell me to jog on

Not as bad as 'suck it up' though!

very aggressive phrase.

RedRedWine1980 · 21/03/2010 16:00

I think its an awesome phrase.
On a par with 'go in the corner and have a word with yourself'

Have you seen RocknRolla? There is a great scene when one character tells someone to 'Go on, jog on, walk on, goodbye, bon voyage, f*ck off'.

I can't help but love it.

junglist1 · 21/03/2010 16:13

I like "stroll on"

Greenshadow · 21/03/2010 16:14

I've never heard it before - obviously don't spend enough time on here.....

Spidermama · 21/03/2010 16:15

YANBU to hate the term 'jog on'.

YABU to mention it when there is an active thread in which another MNer uses the phrase in her OP.

BitOfFun · 21/03/2010 16:16

I like "Fuck the fuck off. And fuck off again when you get there". But I am a horrible person.

I have used that one at least 10 times this week, BoF

(I find myself wondering whenever I come across a new and inventive way of swearing- "is it Mumsnet, or Malcolm Tucker?"- I'm still not sure about that particular one)

as for 'jog on'- does anyone remember that horrible Big Brother "couple" a few years ago- he was a cockernee fella (possibly pretend) and she was an Asian racist (iirc?- it was a looooong time ago so I might be wrong)- anyway, he said it all the time and it put me right off

yojojo · 21/03/2010 16:51

i think it grates because its so dismissive , like 'i dont care what you think/say, just piss off'
and that attitude has no place on a public forum. except for raving mad trolls though.

copperjar · 21/03/2010 16:55

It's entirely appropriate on some threads though.

catinthehat2 · 21/03/2010 17:10

Malcolm Tucker election briefing thread

WhereYouLeftIt · 21/03/2010 17:11

I'd never heard the phrase before an hour ago, but read it on two separate threads since then.

For dismissiveness, I think "off you fuck then dearie" takes some beating .

copperjar · 21/03/2010 17:12

OP, are you the same poster as TrillianAstra?

up there with "get a grip"

UnquietDad · 21/03/2010 17:13

For some reason I associate this phrase with Pricey Kate.

posieparker · 21/03/2010 17:13

I too hate jog on.....even heard it on a cbbc program(with the babies with adult heads) I thought it was 'fuck off'.

I love 'off you fuck'.

2shoes · 21/03/2010 17:15

UnquietDad LOL

SPBInDisguise · 21/03/2010 17:17

Spidermama, which onew?

Trillian · 21/03/2010 17:19

UnquietDad, is that because you would like to watch her jog on ????

No I am not TrillianAstra that is someone else.

I like a good old go forth and multiply

UnquietDad · 21/03/2010 17:19

Trillian - far from it!

cyb · 21/03/2010 17:20

I told someone to 'trot on' (under my breath),well she was hanging around outside my house looking at my prize winning hydrangeas

ABetaDad · 21/03/2010 17:33

I knew a woman that used it in RL. She was quite 'plummy', horsey and from a very proper family, ex Army sorts with a few old Generals in previous generations. She used to say it to her husband in a very dismissive way - she was actually horrible to him.

I dislike it.
