I love Bone app the teeth more than anyone will ever know. Whenever I come across it (on Buzzfeed normally..) it just makes my day

My mum once texted me her shopping list which included cocking oil. Hmm

When we were on holiday, we took part in a pub quiz and had to mark people from other tables' answers to see who had won. Someone wrote "Shomps Elisay" for Champs Elysees'

Shake of vara instead of Che Guevara was hilarious.

Someone I know posted a status about how their amoon system was low.

I cried a bit.

And the one who posted about her "mothering law".

One of my students made a beautiful poster about the background to the First World War, explaining that it had begun with the assassination of Archduck Franz Ferdinand Grin

I once saw a jewellery stall with a sign 'neck lice £5', not big sellers I imagine Grin

I knew a lady on another forum (and this will out me to other members of the same!) who generally thought people just said “wallah!” as a sort of exclamation, rather than it being the French word Voilà!

We haven’t stopped using wallah since Grin

BareBelliedSneetch Did she also have a flyover at her wedding? Should have been a flypast.

A very old one. When my dad retired, he got very interested in local history, and joined a local group. One of the things they did was to transcribe the inventories that were done in medieval times, when a person died, to work out the value of their estate, and how much tax was due.

These had people's professions on them, and one lady was listed as a prawstitoot.

BareBelliedSneetch · 02/09/2018 12:10

@tillytoodles1 she did Grin

"Wallah" is used in Arabic. It translates to "I swear on God's name".

tillytoodles1 · 02/09/2018 12:22

BareBelliedSneetch* I was on the original forum, that moved to the other forum, then just died eventually. We had a laugh on there (and a few arguments!)

tillytoodles1 · 02/09/2018 12:24

DunesofSand, it was a genuine misunderstanding, she wasn't the brightest spark.
