Where all the discharge and hair clumped together and caused a kind of ball of disgustingness in their vulva? Envy I know this is incredibly random but I remember reading about it on here (I believe it was a myth!) and tried to tell someone about it but can't remember the name!

What a load of bollocks.

@littlewoollypervert
Crown Grin. I have literally burst out laughing 😂, reading your reply.

I wouldn't take too much of that book as fact - Gilbert Murray didn't even have a son called Philip, ape or no ape!

HeronLanyon · 09/12/2019 19:23

Was just wondering what to make for dinner. Think I’ll leave it a little while. Maybe just a cleansing glass of water.

Prevegen4U · 09/12/2019 19:32

Sooty kins? Maybe that is where the word Pussy some from. I have read people believed washing was dangerous and so this grossness might be true.

Yes I just got irritated looking on Wikipedia seeing there is no son called Philip.
Surely Wikipedia should not keep false info on its pages? I mean, they have linked Gilbert into that story...

We can pretend it wasGrin

Hirsutefirs · 09/12/2019 20:18

Was sure the answer was money.

Envy not envy. Erghhhhhhhh

Um do you have a clue how Wiki works?

Horehound · 09/12/2019 21:56

@WeshMaGueule yes, don't patronise me. I mean it is clear that this Philip person isn't even Gilbert's son so why is it linked? There are people who do ratify what's written on the pages...

nocoolnamesleft · 09/12/2019 22:20

Killed?

Horehound · 09/12/2019 22:30

What?

Prawnofthepatriarchy · 09/12/2019 22:43

The sootikin thing is a myth. Must be.The vagina is the one part of the body that cleans itself. More hygienic there than in your mouth. You wouldn't build up a solid residue blocking your vulva any more than you would in your mouth, either

One time, one of my Year 11s edited a wiki so that his mate’s name replaces the word daffodil for every time it was mentioned. It was mentioned a lot. You or I could edit just as easily, in fact, I have done when I saw incorrect information on one wiki.

MyMajesty · 09/12/2019 22:51

I'm a very nosy person but I'm not going to click on that link.
I've learned my lesson about that sort of thing.

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 09/12/2019 22:52

Probably a myth , but shagging numerous people a day, no one washing , no sanitary products etc can't have been pleasant

JohnLewisIain · 09/12/2019 22:54

Myv12 year old son edits Wikipedia pages.

Doubleraspberry · 09/12/2019 22:54

There’s a rather TMI description of Caroline of Brunswick that basically explains what happens to your undercarriage if you don’t wash for months. It’s not nice.

JamieVardysHavingAParty · 09/12/2019 22:55

Absolutely no way that would happen.

Horehound · 09/12/2019 22:59

@Cherrysoup o know anyone can edit it, but I think the changed information has to be verified or the info is deleted/changed back to what it was. I assume daffodil isn't still being replaced with a name...is it?

Now about this blue waffle...?
