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?

For me it's .......... Javelin arse

Hooveslikejagger · 13/07/2022 22:16

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.

That. Is. The. Best. Can't breathe 🤣

Thanks @Hooveslikejagger

Only seen once but I loved it.
Someone describing their otherwise lovely but wimpy husband as so bloody nice & agreeable & non-confrontational

Off you fuck then cunty chops!

I love this a ridiculous amount and it's often running through my head in real life when somebody's being an idiot whilst I'm obliged to smile and stay professional.
It makes me feel a bit better 😃

I think that one is from the thick of it isn't it?

WhereYouLeftIt · 14/07/2022 00:39

I think most of my favourites have been covered! But also -

Cockwomble
Wankbadger
Oh do fuck off dear
Having your arse handed to you

One I've not seen for a while - TSSDNCOP (The Secret Service Do Not Comment On Procedure)

And the pithy advice -

Don't set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you always got.

What's a hobo sexual?

I like arse handed to on plate.

Hobo sexual is same as cock lodger - a man with no home / money etc coerces his way into living in woman’s home in return for sex

DFOD · 14/07/2022 01:09

He must have a revolving spangly cock.

I don't live in the UK and cheeky fucker is now in the parlance of my work colleagues. Extra funny in German sentences! Oh and they say not my circus a lot when trying to get out of discussing projects with me. Those cheeky fuckers!

LisaSimpson77 · 14/07/2022 06:43

I think that one is from the thick of it isn't it? @HollowTalk

I have no idea, only seen it on here but I just googled it and discovered you can buy these:

That's going on my Christmas list!!

Off you fuck, cunty chops

It may come from The Thick of It. It certainly sounds like something Malcolm Tucker would say.

The way I remember it, is from a thread in which the Op started a thread ranting about the disgusting language on MN. The appalling bad language and outrageous swearing. And if the swearing doesn't stop , they will leave MN.
The 1st post in response was
Off you fuck, cunty chops

LadyEloise1 · 14/07/2022 10:10

Comparison is the thief of joy.
So true.

Ormally · 14/07/2022 10:21

Never forgotten: I'd say you were a cunt, but that would suggest you had more depth and sensitivity.

LadyEloise1 · 14/07/2022 10:43

@Ormally I thought that was brilliant too.

Another one I love is:
Do not marinade in the "woe is me" sauce.

I love this 😂

Reality · 14/07/2022 11:40

I coined ‘off you fuck then, cunty chops’!

It was a flouncer who was leaving because of all the swearing and I was the first to reply.

I’m very proud of how it’s taken off.

Also my good friend, the amazing BitOfFun, was the author of ‘did you mean to be so rude’.

minou123 · 14/07/2022 12:09

I'm pleased I remembered the thread correctly @Reality 😁

Your response was brilliant

Comefromaway · 14/07/2022 12:12

Did you mean to be so rude (popular I see)

Newestname002 · 14/07/2022 12:33

That doesn't work for me

GoldenPineapple88 · 14/07/2022 12:38

'Dressing gown of doom'

It cracked me up when I read it here 😂

Newestname002 · 14/07/2022 12:40

@SirChenjins

@^*dottieautie
I had to use “did you mean to be so rude?” Just recently and it worked a treat. I’d never really considered what a clever question it was before.

Apologies for this highjack - but surely the person would just smile sweetly and say ‘yes, absolutely’ or similar in return?*^

Then you'd just turn toddler/young child and, in an earnest and puzzled way, ask "why"? Keep asking why till they give up... 🌹
