I love that the ham bag is pink!

@CatBiscuits - it’s possible they’re doing it to avoid detection. If it’s stolen, they don’t want it showing up in any trawling by Gucci etc. The name in the photo won’t register, but the text would.

@SplendidSuns1000

That reminds me of my batty grandmother calling the collar on her new coat Forks Fir instead of faux fur.
I think she meant Fox Fur.

The worst pronunciation one for me is when people pronounce Ralph Lauren as Ralph L'Wren.

The local greengrocer sometimes sells Hearty Chokes.

It's perfect because the ones they sell are magnificent.

I think it may have been a Russian person... that’s the accent we use anyway when the cat is going to the vets to be wermed 😂

My two favorites to date are my former manager's "crotch pot" (you better believe I did not take her up on her offer of "beans that cooked all night in the crotch pot'), and an advertisement for a mountain home for sale due to divorce that stated, "Huge dick for entertaining." And I thought, "Damn...he really DID lose everything in that divorce!"

@CatBiscuits

Lovely Goochy necklace
Surely that is pure cant-be-arsedness with spelling. It's right there on the box. How can you not know what you are selling?

This really confused me on a page for buying and selling Sylvanians — lots of posts about wabbits, squirls and myce. Apparently Facebook isn't happy if it thinks you're selling live animals.

Although having said that, I have a couple of farming friends who advertise (real) cows on there sometimes, and I've seen a kennel advertising future litters of puppies, so I'm not quite sure how that works!

Not a sale one but I had a friend who used to take her kids trickle treating on Halloween.

@MsTSwift

My mum used to call the conservatory a “conservatoire” sort of as a joke but we hosted European teens and one actually went to a conservatoire which is a posh French music school and she got terribly confused by what mum was wibbling on about 😁
I just want to say that I’ve never heard anyone else use the term ‘wibbling on about’

I say it often but thought I was the only one!

PuppyMonkeyBaby · 16/03/2021 00:44

I’m going to start innocently dropping some of these into my Facebook posts.
