@Pepperwand
This made me laugh out loud
I learned of this recently. My kids now say it randomly, we had 2 pigeons sitting on the lawn yesterday - lots of comments form everyone! And as we’re not in UK were spreading this, as I’ve told our friends too :)

Getting my tumours and cysts mixed up!
I meant dermoid cyst.

Poor hyenas!

Onychogryphosis is going to give me nightmares!

Trytoohobia - someone had a thread about this, and it linked to a photo of a foot doctored to look like it has lots of tiny holes. I am by no means a wuss about these things, but it was months ago and this image is still in my head and makes me want to vomit. Lots of people comparing it to crumpets and fine with it, but I am properly scarred !!

Grandfather clock, but I made a small but significant typo with clock.

I can now never unsee those images!

More commonly feathers from ducks and chickens. Just buy bread that's labelled vegetarian and you're set.

Gerbilling. I got told about this last year and could not believe this is a thing! Sometimes I am very glad to have led a sheltered life.

I stumbled - unwittingly - on photos of this on Twitter a few years ago. It sounds like such a demure, pretty thing. It really, really is not.

Pepperwand · 02/08/2020 17:46

Ok I just googled rosebudding, dare I ask what you were originally looking for to stumble across that? 😂

ThisCharmingPenisHaver · 02/08/2020 17:57

It was in a load of replies to a tweet from Nigel Farage. The man is a grade A wally obvs but I'm not sure even he deserved that he probably did let's face it

@theconstantinoplegardener

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.

It is a type of creamy spread from Wales, which is why I was so confused at first. Then I looked up the Urban Dictionary definition and oh my, I'm very sheltered Blush

Purple waffle is a blue waffle whilst on your period. I've stopped googling these anti-suggestions now lol

Shhimtryingtosleep · 03/08/2020 22:23

Looking up your own name in urban dictionary is always weird.
Search "dirty name"
