Today I said the wankiest thing ever.

[LadyOfTheCanyon]

Cutting some cellophane into a circle at work while I customer watched
"that's pretty nifty!" She said " How do you know how to do that?
" Oh, it's the same principle as making a Cartouche for sweating celeriac!" I said cheerfully.

I fear my WC forebears are spinning in their graves. What's the wankiest thing you've ever said?

I'm as WC as they come but my DC I fear are being raised MC.

I feel like such a twat when I have to say " when I've picked DS up from dive club and DD from the stables"..

I usually swear a bit to be true to my roots

I love boil in the vag curry. With a side order of natural yoghurt and/or Canesten 😋

Last year i told someone i was very stressed because i was struggling to chose between purchasing a new car or an orchard.

It was the truth but not nearly as glam as it sounded at.all.

Also I was watching a TV series and looked at my DH and said "why do they have front doors on as their back doors".Yeh felt like a right div.

I don’t get this!!

Ah thanks op! I thought you were using a posh word for clingfilm, makes sense now!

snuggly
I’m a relocation consultant. I am tasked by large corporates to help move their employees to a specific city. So I help them find a house, Schools, open bank accounts, buy cars or whatever else they need ( that’s in my brief from their employer)
I love it and most people I deal with are lovely - but I have developed a hatred of letting agents!

PMSL at 'boil in the vag'!

Some one has pm'd me about my ackronyms. Sorry I don't seem able to reply.

MC is middle class
WC is working class
DD dear daughter
DS dear son
DC dear children
Hope that helps

My 3yo scolded me sternly with 'I don't like that expression' the other week. In my defence, I also have a teen and a preteen and no doubt have had to say it many times to them.

"DD used to love prawns but since she got a taste for lobster she just won't entertain them"

She was 18 months old

Thanks Hopping that sounds like a lovely job, I would love researching all the homes, schools etc!

I'm really enjoying all the wanky sounding foodie kids!

My toddler screaming "I want sushi" in the supermarket

As a child of the 80s refusing chicken nuggets on a play date. I said I would only eat steak & homemade chips for dinner so asked for that. I believe I was 8

I gave a homeless man some change and said “have a good night”

I thought of this thread today when I told my DD aged 14 that she was 'hoisted by her own petard'

Boil in the vag! I love mumsnet! Such a wonderful place to go for side splitting my funny wit.

Not something I say, but I have an acquaintance who is very aspirational and whose dc go to a private school that they can't afford. She ALWAYS refers to it as 'prep school'. She never goes on The school run, it's always prep school run, or the children don't start back to school, it's always 'first day back to prep school'. I'm embarrassed for her now.

Skipped the whole thread from page 1...

Boil in the vag curry 🥘 */ 😂

oh dear, I've been away, I don't know what snapped and farted means!

"Graphista I love your granny too. She was right." She definitely was a "take no prisoners" type!

She was 4' 10" if that and looked "just" a "wee auld wifie" but wouldn't stand for bad manners, poor customer service or snobbery. On one occasion seeing off a would be mugger by battering them with her brolly and kicking!! She was 76 at the time!

She was a cook by trade (if I said by profession I'd get serious side eye at least! "Professional? Naw I worked for a living!") and could seemingly create feasts out of thin air and water!

She sadly passed a few years ago due to alzheimers and old age in her 90's.

Generally I'd agree alzheimers is an awful disease but with her it softened her in some ways and the loss of inhibition led to actually some very moving conversations about her life and I learned a lot about her early life (which I knew had been hard anyway, being born into 1920's glasgow to a very poor family. Eldest of 12! And that's the ones that survived). She had a very dry, quick sense of humour and missed nothing! Even in the midst of the alzheimers she rarely got a tv quiz question wrong with the exception of uni challenge level could solve only connect walls usually within a minute and still completed many crosswords.

Some one has pm'd me about my ackronyms

They are not acronyms - heads back to pedant's corner

This thread is 12 pages of people going 'Waaah, boil in the vag! 🤣'

DS8 was once asked at the till what he’d like to be when he grew up. “I’d like to be a banker.” I could have died on the spot. He had never said those words before!

Not fussed saash. That was the term used on the email. Rather than highlighting someone I used their words as they appeared to be lurking.
I don't care what they are called whether i'm corrected or not. And I know I can't spell either.

Buuuut ... MC for Middle Class counts as an acronym surely? It is according to www.acronymfinder.com.
