How MN has ruined my life

OhToBeASeahorse · 18/06/2021 09:04

  1. Whenever I hear or read 'dunno' Iin my head I hear 'cm dunno' because if the typing for the confused face
  2. Anytime I hear or read 'roar'- and given I have 2 small children that is daily - in my head i hear it as 'roar fecking roar' because of a poster's username.

Anyone else?!

@LegoCaltrops

The fish slice is ruined for me now. Especially if it's sticky from food...
Or is it sticky from the sex lube? Wink

I referred to 'DD' on the class dojo Blush

@PurplePansy05

My husband is also "DH", I have to stop myself from dropping it in WhatsApp chats with my friends 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🤣
Me too!

I seriously considered chucking out my toilet brushes but instead have bought ones that are self cleaning sort of 😇

I keep wanting to shout YABU!!!

@Jocasta2018

It's added to my life.

How else would I know about
'The Dressing-gown of Doom'?

Or feeling 'Fanny Gallops' when I fancy someone?

Fanny Gallops!!!? I don't recall ever reading that phrase anywhere! So someone on here once referred to being a little aroused as the FG???!! Hilarious and well done to the person who invented that one. I would not say gallops but rather "flutters" so Fanny Flutters for me, sounds better.

Name change alert to myself. Dare I? Shock Grin Shock

MN has given me a new hatred of the word "fuming". It pains me to even type it. It's nearly as bad as "kiddies" Envy

On the other hand the feminist board has been an eye opener and an education.

Snapped and farted was the first time in my adult life that I literally sprayed water everywhere when I laughed. Grin

ButItRingsAndIRise · 18/06/2021 15:08

I sent a WhatsApp message to a friend and put flowers in those brackets.
I’m scared I will accidentally say DH out loud one day.

Oh god all the time. Anytime I speak to a person in RL and there's a MN reference word (unreasonable, sex pond, Hernandez, FIL, etc) I give them a surreptitious glance, and half expect a knowing nod.

If it wasn't for MN I'd have my MBA by now

Snppaed and farted was one of my fave ever threads. Along with the clothing fail thread, fat match, Lionel Richie etc

Soubriquet · 18/06/2021 15:16

My favourite was “I just spray painted a pigeon”

The phrase “is that you Paul?” Just cracked me

purrswhileheeats · 18/06/2021 15:30

My colleague's car has HTH as part of the numberplate and I silently giggle every morning when I see it Grin

I reread the fat match thread often! so funny and so relatable Grin

I love FFS!

@ErrolTheDragon

Anyone else suffer from a background niggle that one day they'll audibly refer to DD as 'Dee-Dee'?
Already done that. Blush
myfuckingfreezer · 19/06/2021 11:47

Which was the fat match thread?

Terrazzo · 19/06/2021 11:50

I have no idea what CM DUNNO means.

I think I do say MIL/FIL in real life. Everyone seems to know what I mean 😄 this is a within-mumsney crossover, but whenever people use CM for childminder, I read it as cervical mucous 🤣

OhToBeASeahorse · 19/06/2021 14:33

Have I just made the CM thing up?!?!

I swear people used to type it out hoping for an emoji but if it didnt work it would read cm/ or something.

I'm now worried for my sanity.
