Mine is what DS used to call pins and needles. Love kidicisms!

DaBlackCatsAreDaBestCats · 13/03/2024 16:37

When I took my cat (black) see the vet we were talking about the fact that black cats are hard to home because of the myth that they are unlucky (not true) The vet said to me “the black cats are the best cats” and she should know 😀

I like marmite and I was 27 once upon a time.

I wasn’t 27 when I joined here, but I used a username from elsewhere, because I’m tragically unoriginal.

TheFormidableMrsC · 13/03/2024 16:46

@Beansandneedles I was very touched! Also, you don't want to divorce me 💅

Noneofourbusiness · 13/03/2024 16:50

Mine is from Ticktock. A girl videos clothes in different shops and this is there saying.

when I joined (nearly 22 years ago) I lived on the Central Asian Steppe.

Kazakhstan?

ICrunchCrispsNotNumbers · 13/03/2024 16:55

Mine is a play on the word number crunching .' And I'm really bad at maths and eat a lot of crisps 😂😂

SinnerBoy · 13/03/2024 16:56

Mine's because I lie the Rory Gallagher song, I'm a massive fan of his generally.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 13/03/2024 16:56

Meaning of my name and favourite floer

PrincessHoneysuckle · 13/03/2024 16:56

Flower

Caffeineneedednow · 13/03/2024 16:59

Mine is pretty self explanatory. I have 2 preschool aged kids sleep is elusive and I consume far too much caffine

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 13/03/2024 17:00

Well I have had other user names... and this one. Well I'm almost always in a hurry, so... I think I'd read Gone Girl at the time too, so that might've influenced me.

muddyford · 13/03/2024 17:00

Much too outing!

PansyOatZebra · 13/03/2024 17:00

I wanted something completely random so I picked a flower, a food and an animal.

Guess. Scots might know.

Hohofortherobbers · 13/03/2024 17:04

A great childhood book. "Hoho for the robbers, the cops and the robbers hoho!!"

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 13/03/2024 17:04

Any Jane Austen lover will recognise the inspiration behind mine.

No real meaning though...I think I had probably just re-read P&P when I last name changed and so it popped into my head at the time!

DontCallMeKidDontCallMeBaby · 13/03/2024 17:06

It’s a Taylor Swift lyric.

TesticularHeft · 13/03/2024 17:07

Walking dead. An ambitious plan with testicular heft.

YoongiMarryMe · 13/03/2024 17:11

Yoongi is my bias.

(I'm way too old to be using that phrase 😂)

FourLeggedBuckers · 13/03/2024 17:13

I have horses and I like terrible country music:

horse people, just a little different than most people
bow legged boot stomping stall muckers
tired and tuckered going broke trying to feed a load of four legged buckers

ThePoshUns · 13/03/2024 17:15

From the 7up programme.
One of the kids commented ' The poshuns don't like it up 'em'

Tickled me.

VenetiaHallisWellPosh · 13/03/2024 17:17

I've had many, MANY UN on here. Obviously the current one comes from the Cormoran Strike books.

SisterhoodNotCisterhood · 13/03/2024 17:18

Mines easy enough. I'm not a subset of woman. I don't have to quantify which type simply because I am the control. The original. The standard.

ToriesAgainstHumanity · 13/03/2024 17:19

I change mine every now and again.
I was obviously particularly angry at the Tories on that day all of the days really
