Only on Mumsnet...

[SushiSheep]

...have I heard the terms "norks", "tinkly laugh", "naice" bread/ham/area, CF (Cheeky Fucker), LTB (Leave the Bastard) and "get your ducks in a row" (when leaving the bastard!)

What are your 'Only on MN' things?

It was mitigated a bit when the “see all” feature was introduced allowing posters to see all OP’s posts more easily.

And yet so many people still don't. Whether shoving a post on the end of a long thread without reading all it or at least the OPs contributions is 'only on MN' or not I don't know, but doubt.

Jam Slags, can’t remember the thread, but a poster was having some sort of issue or argument, possibly with a family member and the poster kept saying time after time that they had made the jam slags, I’ve never in my life heard the term jam slags (it kept being repeated in the original thread) and many others hadn’t heard of it either, apparently it’s a type of jam tart, others came to say that they remember their grandmother making jam slags, I just think everyone was taking the piss, maybe the queen of hearts used to use the term for her ladies in waiting who turned to street walking. I just can’t imagine that rich and deep voiceover from the old adverts, saying ‘Mr Kiplings exceedingly good jam slags’ (nan spits her tea out!!!!)

I'd quite like to try making jam slags, but I don't have a recipe and I sure as heck ain't googling it!

Are they an actual thing?
Not an autocorrect?

Jam Slags weren't an autocorrect, they were a sort of oversized jam tart.
It was on the threads about the stolen allotment and garage.

These threads:

Wait, I found it, it was this one, although google shows nothing in terms of the culinary history of these things, so it’s only something I’ve seen on here!

I thought it was a play on words... jam tart... jam slag... maybe a jam trollop or jam floozy could join the pastries.

Agree with pp tart/slag interchangeable
Little tart ! Big slag!

since this is not a TAAT but merely a PAAT on an entirely different thread to the one that was deleted beforeIcouldpostthismfinglongassedpostthattookmefuckingagestowritebutmightalsoberelevanthere

I am grateful someone posted the bat and reminded me of a time when Terry’s mustard jewels united us with pistonheads

Back when all this was fields™

<wibblywobblyscreen>

A goat with hairy hands came free from the dole riding in a bullybullseye speedboat direct to your estate driven by that bloke married to Angie from ‘Enders accompanied by Brian Blessed singing about badgering mushrooms while an elderly Korean woman was silently sitting beside a dead wasp floating in a penis beaker as you watched a destination wedding held by a Mexican house thief on a billion” TV wider & windier than your arse on a cabbage soup diet.

We screamed at the Sistine Chapel as we were reminded of how much it all was so much like the home life of our own dear Queen King.

(but maybe I’m just a pussy cat standing in front of a Brian from Hull thinking “damn if there’s honey and quince and cutted up pear…)

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE REST OF THE CHEESEBOARD??!!!”

or indeed the red wine swimming pool we are all meant to be drinking one glass at a time

{creepy little memorial brackets to how we used to be}

<sad sound somewhere between trumpet and a paper & comb kazhoo>

WHAT have I missed?!!! 😆

Ahh I was getting the mumnset bat and the Easter bonnet threads mixed up!

I'm genuinely laughing out loud on remembering the Easter bonnet hat thread. That fox trying to eat the chickens, the kids having nightmares. Wonder if I can find it classics!

You forgot Suzy Quatro's fat nan!!!

@2025Y that was one of the funniest threads

Not RTFT but…

Jimberley

Earning 200k and struggling to buy a decent house/pay bills/save etc

Shaking and crying.

2025 lesbian nana must be holding her hostage somewhere

which reminds me of MNHQ under siege and having to send bottles of gin and pizzas in support

if we really are all dead and this is now just a meta parody of The Good Place I’m glad I have the memories of MN back when real was relatively normal and MN was the light relief

<snuggles down to watch the cows with guns video for a wee reminder>

oh oh nearly forgot - John that reminded me of latest phrase I heard elsewhere ‘coping and seething’ to the tune of the lovely Mr Manilow’s copacabana

If you have an afternoon to spare have a look at Classics. I highly recommend the 'Elderly Korean Lady'.

It was lovely. Someone had sold a shed to a Korean man, he came to dismantle it bringing his elderly mother and a deckchair so she could watch.

Have you forgotten the MN hairstyle and the MN scarf?

And the eloping bride who got the witnesses from MN, as they were complete strangers I think the witnesses were identified by their knickers, which were worn on the head.

Don't forget the Great NYE Debacle of 200?.

Doffs cap to MN Royalty (that always made me cringe)

Bunfight is not only on MN.

Noone

The phrase is ‘no one’ or (rarely) ‘no-one’. But noone keeps making its daily appearance.

Bunfight is a fairly common term and has been for years.

Javelin butt! I am so glad it is a thing. I had it but could not put a name to it!

Please tell me this is a true story 😂
