I just had to share this with you all, as it made me cry with laughter!
Sitting eating lunch with my DH & I asked him if he knew what 'Fanny Gallops' are.
He looked at me with a dead straight face & said ' isn't that a place on Dartmoor!!!!!'
Bless his gorgeous lovely heart 
What are some of the stupidest things that your DH has said to you?

Thanks for theses, cheered me right up

I think the egg = diary as it's something from an animal that we don't have to kill to get? Maybe?

egg = diary

Things vegetarians can eat but vegans don't?

When I were a lad, the local village had individual shops which, collectively, catered for everything you needed foodwise. One such shop was the dairy which sold milk, butter, eggs, cheese and possibly one or two other things - it were a long time ago, so I don’t remember exactly. I’ve always thought of eggs as dairy products and I had to think for a second when the post above highlighted the mistake of thinking that way.

DP got to 35 years old thinking sultanas, raisins, prunes all grew on trees. Completely blew his mind the day I told him they were dried fruit.

- Women only have one hole through which we wee and have periods.
My DH insists this is true. Despite me explaining it all to him many many times, sometimes with the addition of diagrams.
Tbh I think he’s taking the piss but I’m not 100% sure.

Tbh I think he’s taking the piss

He wouldn't know how, would he?

I always thought that eggs were classed as dairy because the chick uses the inside to grow and flourish (before hatching), like calves drink milk to grow and flourish.

Man who works with DH was excited because he'd seen a robin - in September. DH said that they're here all year. Stunned silence. "I thought they only came out at Christmas". I can just imagine hedges full of robins, all lined up, like feathery paratroopers, ready for December.

My OH refuses to believe that eggs aren't 1 of his 5-a-day.

The great unsung vegetable Hmm

CowesTwo · 26/10/2018 17:42

After several years of polite silence, I had to tell my OH that there was no such word as 'frivolent'.
He had somehow mixed up frivolous and prevalent, and it was a word he used quite a bit. I didn't want him to use it elsewhere and have people pitying him!
He was surprised. Come to think of it, it's quite a useful word for when there is widespread frivolity ...

@CraicMammy when you get that galloping feeling in your lady garden when you want to bonk someone.

A friend in New Zealand asking me if I knew about bonfire night in the UK?

CraicMammy · 26/10/2018 19:28

Thank you! I had no idea!!! 🤣🤣🤣

🐎 I’ll be using this emoji more often in future

ErrolTheDragon · 26/10/2018 19:36

Greydog - tbf, I think there are more robins in the U.K. in winter because we get migrants in addition to our local population. And 'Around Christmas-time, robins begin to explore other robins' territories in the hope of finding a mate. ' ... and we all thought they were bobbing around looking for letters to carry to Santa.

My ex husband thought blood just swilled around your body.

He isn’t the brightest. He genuinely argued when I explained veins and capillaries etc.

April2020mom · 26/10/2018 19:55

I’ve never laughed so hard before. For years I believed that eggs were free because my mom raised chickens. When I was ten years old I was sent out to a local supermarket to buy bread milk and eggs with my dad and that’s when I discovered the truth. That definitely helped pop my bubble.

I always accidently say St Pancreas. To be fair, I was a medical student arriving very early in the morning on the eurostar with a group of medical student friends the first time I went to St pancras. Pancreas was a word very much in my vocabulary.

IHaveBrilloHair · 26/10/2018 20:12

Not me but someone I know bought her Nanny charges pool inflatables for their holiday, one was a chocolate doughnut with nuts on it.
The Dad said in all seriousness, " Oh X won't be able to use that as he's allergic to nuts",

LorelaiRoryEmily · 26/10/2018 20:17
