To really hate the term "jog on"

[Trillian]

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

PMSL at 'trot on' cyb is that the posh version?

I only heard it a few weeks ago on FB. Now its jog on all over the blimming place.

I prefer 'get a grip' (well get a fucking grip is better).

Or 'do fuck off dear'

but then I am like that.

I remember 'trot on bitch' apparently being uttered by Amy Winehouse to some random member of the public.

oh my god.
jog on, as in, go away.
get over it!
or is that too offensive?

I quite like it. I hate "off you fuck". It sounds horrible and bitchy in a schoolgirl way.

Yes it's getting rather old now isn't it?

I like 'fuck you very much'

I quite like "do one".

i have never seen that particular phrase used on here, i would expect to see it on netmums, but not here. it is horrid though.

I love it, also love 'man up'

I suppose though, in the circles I have heard this term used, it was not used in the agressive sense - just kind of jokey really. Kind of like 'yeah, right' It never occurred to me that it could be offensive

I hate 'jog on'

Loving 'off you fuck' but i'm just childish so....

also like 'suck it up'

I hate it. Immature, patronising and nasty.

Agree with swanandduck.

I love in the right circumstance. People don't say it here so it gets a reaction.

What's wrong with "get a grip"? I say it all the time to the behaviorally challenged 6yr old I work with: "All right then darling, let's get a grip here. Take a deep breath and tuck in those tears."

'Course I also say "suck it up" and occasionally "how 'bout you nut up or shut up?" but I'm a crass American and such things are to be expected.

To clarify: I do not of course say "nut up or shut up" to children. Just DH.

It's supposed to be flippant and offensive though; that's the point, isn't it...?

crass American? shurely shome mishtake, CY?

And to be serious. its particularly offensive on an open forum where all opinions have the right to airtime...that someone appoints themselves the arbiter of who should and shouldn't post....

I agree with BritFish, 'jog on' is an inventive way of saying 'go away'. It's a great use of language and imagery

I haven't heard of 'trot on' before, but that's even better, as it has the 2-in-1 effect of reducing the other person to the status of an animal at the same time

haha love jog on
and off you fuck haha not heard that before
and suck it up haha

sorry - forot to add - yabu - jog on!
