Weird shit DH says

At the end of a work call that's been productive he sometimes says, "great, looks like we're cooking on gas then!"

I have never heard anyone say this except him. I think he's made it up and he's trying to make it happen, like fetch in Mean Girls.

How about yours?

And thanks to this thread, I now know thF Drop The Dead Donkey is available for me to watch on All4. I loved it back in the 90s!

Me too! So much so that I trained as journalist! Wasn't nearly as much fun as on the telly though.

@orangenasturtium

I have it worse, my six foot ex military husband infantilises words

I have a DF who was in the SAS who likes nothing better than watching Pixar films and can't see an animal or pet without voicing a conversation between them in a cutsie voice using baby words. So unnatural...

Oh God this is my DH. He's an ex rugby prop and looks like he could wrestle a buffalo to the floor. Caught him watching A Cinderella Christmas yesterday FFS, and he has an endless supply of cutesy pet names for me and our teens which he is forbidden to use outside the house.

DH still thinks it's highly amusing to say to me 'Just pop your clothes on the stool and I'll sort you out in a minute' (from Life of Brian) whenever I walk into our bedroom Hmm

@SlatternIsMyMiddleName

Every, and I mean every, trip to the bathroom in this house is announced with “ I need a P please Bob”. Even my kids say it and they have no idea where it comes from.

I am old.

My DN (19) is called Robert. If he ever offers to make a cuppa I say "I'll have a Tea please, Bob" He just rolls his eyes

(he' s not even known as Bob).

My dad, if anyone said they were off for a bath would say "I shall alert the media".

I'm another one who sings "I've got the key" if asked.

Blockbusters was great! I say it now. My dc don’t understand, but they also say it!🤨
