    "I tell it like it is" = "I have the compassion of a rock".

    Exactly, or "I tell it like it is" meaning I don't fully understand a complex multi layered problem but can come still up with a simple solution.

    Someone who spouts on at every opportunity about how their new, expensive [insert gadget name here] is so indispensable.

    It just hasn't made the individual anymore productive or friendly whatsoever.

    More or less the same grumpy stuff that others have been giving out about here -

    Influencer - Just makes me want to get sick. And they're filling up the fcking world.

    People who use their self diagnosed The Bryers Miggs test results, as if that explains anything really at the end of the day. Hey, look, a lot of us have done the tests and been mildly intrigued by the results, but if you are putting it prominently in information about yourself screams to me that you're a bit gullible and definitely a bit self-absorbed, even if it might all be with the best of intentions. But maybe that's just the ENFP-A in me talking.

    People who have self-aggrandising signatures at the end of their posts - it's just a bit much isn't it?

    'Blogger'

    A web logger seemingly.

    You know, if the captain of the first manned mission to Mars kept a log online, I might not actually be bothered reading too much of it after the first few days.

    What makes you think that an ordinary person like you could arouse such fascination that people might subscribe to your pointless musings? Get some perspective and control your ego please.


    or "vegan blogger" -> heard of someone married to a "vegan blogger" - marriage didn't last very long.

    pretty sure that there is a direct correlation between these two facts.

    hearing "tastemaker" induces the taste of vomit in my mouth.

    We managed to breastfeed our babies for centuries without Americans telling us what to do

    (no offense to Americans in general, and I don't include La Leche League in this )

    Basically, no. Something like breastfeeding was something passed from generation to generation. If it's not done properly, women lose the ability to produce milk. Before baby formula, the only way it could be done was from the breast. Baby formula companies went out of their way, to break this link. The reason Nestle has such a bad reputation is using marketing tricks, especially in the third world, to make mothers dependent on baby formula, by stopping them from doing the things needed to keep them being able to naturally produce milk.

    And ''Dreamer''. Does that really mean flaky and unreliable ?

    When it comes from some eye-rolling culchie, who lives in a dream world of ignorance is strength, and their urban cousins, who also live in dream worlds.

    Yeuchhh they're out the I know of a few of those types.

    Some guys will even go vegan for a chance of purple haired Sally giving them attention.

    Any guy who describes themselves as a feminist, needs a good kick down a hole and grow a pair.

    I know the type, usually has a weird name like Fiacra or Oisine.... And never put up an honest stamp in their lives...

    Numpties....

    The more inspirational quotes someone posts , the further they are from the attitude the quotes encourage . If they post about meditation or Rumi, they're probably a highly strung head-melter. Maybe they know it though and they're just trying to encourage themselves to improve.


    MJD Would you re-read my comment where I exempted LLL ? They don't charge and can help mothers who hit snags. But I feel it's over complicated and medicalised by some . Also lactation consultants don't work in the third world.

    My grandfather was an early pioneer this skill / profession and this is a major reason I have now embarked on my own career in it.


    ..You spend actually spend more time boasting about this fact than you do actually talking about the subject matter itself. In a competition thread every January. At least one poster makes this point. 😒

    Frigid.

    As a description of another person it's unacceptable . At secondary school , girls were called frigid , or else ''slappers''.

    I see nothing wrong with founder or entrepreneur.. am I in the minority? If you founded a company I see nothing wrong with saying "Founded Company X in 2019". I also see nothing wrong with describing yourself as Entrepreneur if you've started a thriving business. What's the problem?

    For the record I am not an entrepreneur or a founder of anything. I just genuinely don't see a problem with those two.

    To contribute to the thread.. if somebody described themselves by their religious beliefs I'd judge them for it. I don't care what religion you follow, if you mention religion in your bio I'll automatically assume you're a knob. I also think veganism is a religion.

    i agree there is nothing wrong with someone who describes themselves as an Entrepreneur but your business doesn't have to be thriving to call yourself an Entrepreneur.

    It might be a neologism, but I don't see it as being any different to people referring to themselves as 'straight'.

    Ahhh self absorbed, that was the word I was looking for. I know someone who shoehorns in ''As an INTJ...'' into almost every debate. Meh. Feck off. Just feck right off. (Us INFJs are a lot more classy than that ;) )
