Introducing the fabulous new piece of furniture, the shezlon!

Excellent way to get lots of free publicity for your armless sofa though!

@littlepattilou - they've started a fred in Site Stuff.

My microwave is now called Michael (Mr Wave on days I'm being formal)
I have seen escape goat often

i've just said "chezlon" to myself out loud (am alone in the room) and pissed myself laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst one I've seen is Chestowdraw when I was a student looking for a room in a house share. Never forgot it.

Admittedly she's only 6 but my daughter decided to sneak a few extra items on to the shopping list on the blackboard... I can't bear to wipe away her request for a "tub of ass cream"

Antique rocking horses are my ''Thing'', and the Ebay /Farcebook dealers write such nonsense sometimes:

''She is a sort after horse with reigns and saddle in tact''.

{She is a sought after horse with reins and saddle intact}

A child once wrote about his pets and used the 'word' yrntn. When I asked him to 'tell me about your pet' he said he he kept his pet in a cage made of wire netting, that was his yrntn!

There's a chubby shik cubbad for sale near me

oooh and there was that girl that went viral with "barackko barner". it's somewhere on the internet although god knows where.

baracco barner is on the internet but i can only find it via the daily mail and i wouldn't want to post a link to such utter bilge that is the dm.

@EsmaCannonball

I love when some bloke is ranting about some woman in the public eye online and he accuses her of being a pre-Madonna. Always love that one.

A comment on her age maybe??

One of my DDs (aged 5 or 6) once composed a journal entry for homework. The topic was 'Things we love at home'.

Among other things, DD liked the smell of popery in the dining room.

This caused a raised eyebrow in her RC school.

Mine isn't a household item but you might be interested in one or two of these bargain priced thinbuls.

Thinbuls.

Call the RSPCA!

For a wonderful lexicon from Down Under, thumb through a copy of "Let Stalk Strine" by the well-known pseudonym Afferbeck Lauder (which I confess I didn't manage to interpret correctly for ages). Here you'll discover that an "egg nishner" is an Australian device for cooling the room during a heatwave, "egg jelly" is a colloquialism meaning "in reality", and "airman" is the meat component of an airman pickle sandwich. Unfortunately I lost my copy years ago, but I see it's still available on Amazon: ]]

I think they were quite in vogue when I was much younger, I recall having a copy of Lern yerself Scouse.#

God it wasn't £12 .20 then either!

I used to listen to primary school readers and generally help out - a classic question one day - 'please miss, how do you spell 'gnu'?, tell me how you want to use it sweetie? 'I'm gnu play on my bike later'

If you want to sell something for £3k at least spell it properly Anthony P...

😂😂😂

I leave you with "Square Word".

Now do I nominate this thread for classics?

@Ihopeyourcakeisshit

Yanettin is wire netting apparently.

No, wire netting is yrntn!

First job in a wine bar, first customer, first day: "One of them giraffes of white wine please"

I have a MLM hun who has informed us all today she has new 'stalk' arriving.

Yorkshire terror

I'm pleasantly surprised there are none of the usual comments calling everyone snobs and scum of the earth for finding these things funny.

Ah yes, the Bonkette...
