My DS is adamant that bird is the word.

I disagree and am certain that it is, in fact, Grease that’s the word.

Who is right?

Or perhaps we’re both wrong and something else is the word?

Grease obviously. Rehome your son ASAP

Brollywasntneededafterall · 24/09/2021 20:41

Grease...
Can you flog dc on ebay?

MrsRobbieHart · 24/09/2021 20:41

I’ve sent him to his room until he learns some respect. Might have to re educate him with some forced Grease watching.

Peter Griffin would disagree with you.

Damn I wish I hadn't read this thread - can't get this out of my head now

What's the word? Johannesburg!

LynetteScavo · 24/09/2021 21:14

Greece is the word. It's got groove. It's got meaning. Greece is the word.

CiaoForNiao · 24/09/2021 21:16

Grease is most definitely the word.
I'd have to disown my DC if they didn't know that.

Ducksurprise · 24/09/2021 21:17

In the beginning was the word and the word was God.

But after that obviously Grease. Agree with rehoming son, especially after family guy link.

Mariell · 24/09/2021 21:20

Your son is correct.

Marzipanfruit · 24/09/2021 21:21

Actually.......Everybody knows about the word- bird,bird,bird,bird,bird, bird, is the word.

BunnytheFriendlyDragon · 24/09/2021 21:25

What?

Jellykat · 24/09/2021 21:28

Everybody knows that the bird is the word..
Not the Peter Griffin version though.. The Ramones version from 1977!

Mariell · 24/09/2021 21:30

That’s not the original!

TrainspottingWelsh · 24/09/2021 21:34

How is this a debate? Grease is the only acceptable answer.
Hopefully your ds has just been drinking or doing drugs and that explains his ridiculous delusion. If not you've failed as a parent.

TheChip · 24/09/2021 21:40

I said....the bird, bird bird. Bird is the word.

MrsRobbieHart · 24/09/2021 21:46

Well this thread was clearly a mistake!! I expected unanimous agreement that Grease is the word. I can’t bloody rub this nonsense in his face, can I??

BlueberrySugar · 24/09/2021 22:02

Not even sure what grease if the word means. It's bird is the word Grin

EekGoesTheBaby · 24/09/2021 22:05

EVERYBODY knows that the bird is the word!

Aaaaaaand now it's stuck in my head.

MindyStClaire · 24/09/2021 22:07

Come on OP, EVERYBODY knows that the bird is the word.

Sheesh.

(Cursing you right now, I'll be singing it for bloody days.)

Bollindger · 24/09/2021 22:07

In the Legal sense. WHAT is the word!
So your both wrong.

BlakeDreary · 24/09/2021 22:08

@MrsRobbieHart It most definitely is where he got it from. My husband drove me nuts for a good week with this song as a result of Family Guy.

Cocolapew · 24/09/2021 22:11

I'm with your DS 🐦

PullTheWeeds · 24/09/2021 22:14

Bird was the word first Smile

Grease is a poor imitation!!

MrsRobbieHart · 24/09/2021 22:15

I’ve been a MNer for 13 years. Never have I been more disappointed in how a thread has gone than I am tonight. This is a dark day.
