Today I said the wankiest thing ever.

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?

Funnily enough, just inadvertently came across this sashh:

MC is an acronym when it's used for 'master of ceremonies' - hence 'Emcee' in Cabaret.

RiversDisguise · 02/06/2019 09:54

No, not unless it's pronounced Mick....

Sassh is right. Those are initialisms.

An acronum is something like SNAFU or ASBO where you pronounce it like a real word based on the letters

As a 3 year old, I allegedly gasped "What? No sorbet?" When offered ice cream at a get together.

I also apparently once refused to eat at a picnic, because I wasn't provided with a knife and fork.

SnugglySnerd · 02/06/2019 10:12

I wish my kids would refuse to eat without a knife and fork! They seem quite happy to est anything with their hands, even yoghurt!

Sorry but boil in the vag was obviously said on purpose to try and be funny. Probably trying to get it in classics. Not funny OP.

StCharlotte · 02/06/2019 10:38

Thsnk God I didn't see this thread when I was at work.

"Boil in the vag curry" or as I call it "thrush".

Fun sucker

Must be fun round your house Cookie.

As you're so clearly psychic, I'd suggest you put your talents to better use than hanging around lighthearted threads being a joyless fun sponge.

Your point is?

Of course, comedians go on stage all the time and think I'd better not say anything funny or people will think I'm doing it on purpose to try and be funny.

I referred to someone's behaviour as a 'jolly jape' the other day - God knows why as I don't think I've ever used the expression before in my life.

I got the most withering WTAF look ever from 14yo DD Grin

wizzywig · 02/06/2019 12:47

I feel like boil in the vag, like boil in the vag!

Pixiedustaway · 02/06/2019 17:27

But not a boil in the vag 😂😂😂

Diva66 · 02/06/2019 17:29

Afternoon tea at in-laws. Asked them where they kept the cake forks. No, I’m not posh, just thought everybody had small forks for eating cake ......

I made a pun in Latin on the spot once, I can't remember what I actually said now, but I remember that wanky feeling.

Scardanelli · 02/06/2019 17:34

I was having a horrible day, but boil in the vag has cheered up up no end.
🤣

Housemum · 02/06/2019 17:35

I once took then 4yo DD2to a town centre McDonald’s - I’m no snob, she’d had happy meals before but from the drive-through and when we got home we usually tipped it on a plate, and she’d eat it at the table. She loudly exclaimed when picking up the ketchup, “mummy there’s no cutlery and where are the plates?”. Blush

Walking into Waitrose and asking “do you have any hibiscus flowers? You know the ones you put in champagne?”
As soon as it came out my mouth i knew i sounded like a twat

GuidoTheKillerPimp · 02/06/2019 17:36

“The only things I don’t put in the dishwasher are the crystal and the gold cutlery” 🙄

My (then) new partner gave me a look, and told me that if ever a sentence summed up the difference between us, that was it...

Jersy · 02/06/2019 17:41

Anyone who uses words like "wanky" in a thread is probably a total and actual real wanker in real life.

ugh ... when did people start to think using unpleasant swear words made them sound clever or interesting?

(probably around the time MN started)

Lena18 · 02/06/2019 17:49

In hospital a few weeks ago for chest pain the young male Dr said have you been doing any more exercise than normal lately I don't remember saying this but dp likes to remind me daily that my response was just a little walking and dogging.. I my head I think I meant walking the dog an joggingConfused

Isitrainingihadntnoticed · 02/06/2019 17:51

Someone at my work baked brownies and brought them into work.. they were wrapped in sweaty cling film out of a orange stained Tupperware box and handed out to everyone. Someone passed me one and asked why I didn't eat it when it was still sat on my desk 3hrs later. My reply?

"I'm sorry but I don't eat homemade cakes, you just don't know what peoples homes and kitchens are like"
In my defence, it was my new place of work and they are yet to know about my germ phobia and OCD. I felt really mean and should of just mentioned I'm on a diet.

Heaviestdirtyestsoul · 02/06/2019 17:57

It was my 6 and 7 year old that said wanky things- at a meal out with another family recently, 6 year old (who has sn and has heard me road rage a little in the car) when the waiter brought him a colouring set, shouted loudly at the waiter that ' you drive like a wanker'!!!! Could not apologise enough! Place was packed too. 7 year old was a total turd because when he was playing with a friend up the road, friends mum popped her hair out and asked if they both wanted some cheese on toast? I heard him shout back to her, 'No thank you, I'm not eating that greasy muck- you eat white bread and iv got hummus at home' I'm seriously lower working class and have no airs and graces- plus a broad Yorkshire accent, yet the 7 year old acts like little ruddy lord fauntlaroy Confused Blush
