MIL and her picnic hamster

On a visit to MIL for her birthday
She told us SIL has bought BIL a picnic hamster as a present
After several silent moments during which DH and I tried desperately hard to contain ourselves and not look at each other, she finally announced it was in fact, a picnic hamper
DH calmly said " a hamster is a small, furry creature"

It's comedy gold here
Any good MILisms where you are?

Picnic hamster is brilliant.

My colleague who asked why we were standing around like pillocks.

English was her third language, and she meant to say "pillars".

There was the time that MIL pranged her car on a bollock.
