Dragon butter.

I haven't actually googled it myself but it's always mentioned on these sorts of threads with dire warnings that it's the sort of thing that gets seared onto your eyelids if you look it up. I always imagine it to be a brand of dairy spread from Wales, but it seems there's more to it than that.

Yy to dragon butter.
Sootikins,

DaphneFanshaw · 20/07/2020 23:11

Purple waffle.
Gosh there’s loads.
I have no self control whatsoever and Googled pretty much everything on the “never google...” Fred’s we used when all this were fields.

theconstantinoplegardener · 20/07/2020 23:11

I've also had several shocks when idly googling the names of former friends or colleagues that I'd lost touch with. I discovered some really sad things and wished afterwards that I hadn't looked, but simply remembered them the way they were.

elQuintoConyo · 20/07/2020 23:11

Munting.
And yes, sootikins - sound so cute like Sooty. So very, very not cute Envy vomit.

DaphneFanshaw · 20/07/2020 23:13

I seem to remember space docking too, although I can’t remember what that one meant.

Legoandloldolls · 20/07/2020 23:13

Deep fried tarantulas.

This is an awful thread because now I want to google all these things! 😂
Haven’t heard of purple pancakes or dragon butter

DaphneFanshaw · 20/07/2020 23:14

Wouldn’t they be hairy ?

DaphneFanshaw · 20/07/2020 23:15

Purple waffle.
There may be such thing as a purple pancake but I wouldn’t want you to be disappointed.

Terry Wogan’s cock!!!

The frog with the babies that come out of its back.

See, this is why MN can be such a good place. Without you MN my Google search history would be modest and uncorrupted.

Jellykat · 20/07/2020 23:21

Agree with Dragon butter..
I made that mistake about 8 years ago, its a MN classic..

DanceWithYourBalloon · 20/07/2020 23:22

It's going to take ages to google my way through this thread! 🤩

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 20/07/2020 23:31

Who ever purple waffle, I think you mean blue waffle!!!

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 20/07/2020 23:32

Whoever said*

hotsouple · 20/07/2020 23:33

Can someone just say what the dragon butter is? I'm very intrigued but am definitely not googling. I cant even guess what it might be.

ActorAttractor · 20/07/2020 23:34

I am not googling any of these. I have to go to bed soon and I'd like to get some sleep tonight.

But sootikins and dragon butter sound fascinating.
