All of these were new to me before mumsnet but make me chuckle when I see them:

Cocklodger
Nurse with a purse
LTB
Throw him back

What are your favourites?

I think the poster in question was describing her cat but it's been useful for many people I encountered in my old job working with the general public.

Relatively new to these shores but this might well be the best thread I've seen so far. Special thanks to the PP linking to the Spoonyfucker thread. It's glorious! 😂

A spoony fucker is someone who interferes when you’re cooking.

That would explain why I've not encountered it in nearly 20 years on here (hate cooking and try to avoid doing it).

When you forget or cba to bring laundry in from the line, it gets darked on, and spiders rub their willies on it. FACT.

Show quote history

I told my 18 yr old only yesterday not to leave her washing out as it would be darked on. I could not have expressed this adequately before 2006 or so.

Show quote history

it was referring to one up man ship.

I think it started when someone made a post and part of it went along the lines of - if I said I’d been to Tenerife, they would have been to Elevenerife.

”Harvest festivals” for big granny knickers (= all is safely gathered in).
