At a farm café... naturally. And daughter is on special diet, so she was eating her packed lunch. And she went to eat her apple ...I found my self saying "oh darling, let me wash your apple, it's got brioche crumbs all over it"

What a dick I am 🤣

I peaked at goblin class wankering when I flung my entire stash of McDonald's packaging out of my car window while listening to SPAOW' on my stolen car radio.

What on earth is goblin class?

So many posters, and so few with a funny bone.

We are very working class but I remember my husband saying in Tesco “no, not that tin; it’s compromised” (it had a dent in it). The shame

I love that😆 Will definitely be using it in a future conversation about dented tins!!

It came out of the lunch box op had packed herself 😆

The dd had her own packed lunch, yes. I wouldn't put it past a small child to get mummy's brioche crumbs on her apple though.

I'm not getting the brioche crumbs. Why was the apple covered in crumbs?

Op had to shoehorn in the mention of brioche or we wouldn’t have grasped how middle class she is.
Or something.

The conversation just might not have been exactly as the OP stated.
Possibly...

I love his articulacy and the whiff of Espionage Wisdom. Wankerism is in the shame. Working class wankerism to feel shame at articulacy.

Am hearing Catherine Tate offer Tristram an apple a cinnamon YOh-gurt now!!

Many moons ago with my antenatal gang we took the DC to a picnic and literally hearing ourselves…

Darling, come and get your pomegranate
….come and get your lychees
……come and get your someother random expensive pre washed / pre peeled little Waitrose garage pick up

And one of us piped up ‘Fuck sake you lot - Babe, c’mon get your Apple’

We all boo-ed and hissed at her obviously 🤣

And we all did say we are cinnamon yoghurt mother!

OP is humble-bragging.

Give over! She's simply seeing the amusement in a situation.

Crocmush · 05/04/2025 12:59

Well it made me laugh Op!

Is brioche middle-class? They sell it everywhere in the bread/breakfast bit of supermarkets including Lidl and Aldi. I’m definitely not middle-class but my kids love the little brioche roll things from Tesco, especially the ones with chocolate chips.

springintoaction321 · 05/04/2025 12:47

WTF are you on about??

Don’t you recognise the mid 2000s middle class fan girling?
The yummy mummies? The introduction of the idea that a supermarket can be middle class? The introduction of the idea that all you have to do to change class is go to certain places and say certain things?

anyone who thinks class is about going to a farm shop and talking about brioche is a chump

I can remember many years ago hearing Tony Blackburn make a similar joke on his BBC breakfast show. (Many, many years ago.)
Why don't fairies ever get pregnant when they go to parties?
They only go to goblin parties.
(Yes indeed, the BBC radio 2 breakfast show...)
Getting my coat right now.

Nice food, I think. And being articulate.

@neverknowinglyunreasonable The OP is laughing at herself. Not taking herself too seriously. It’s fun. Try it - you might like it!

She brushed crumbs off her child’s apple, and thinks it’s evidence of her being middle class?
It’s only funny if you think there’s something inherently gaspworthy about brioche.
There isn’t.

Oh of course - it’s poor show to throw peanuts at the poor now isn’t it? So we’re coming for the middle classes 😂

Hardly hate speech and if you can’t have an innocent giggle at yourself then my god, life is hard enough without have a chuckle

So the OP said her dd was on a special diet, but you can't think of any reason why that would mean that brioche crumbs would be a problem? Ok.

Surely the Brioche crumbs were from a Brioche the child had eaten? If that's the case, i fail to see how the crumbs would have presented a problem to the special diet?

Oh the ignominy of it! People will think you’re so very déclassé
Get rid of the Apple and the daughter immediately

BarneyRonson · 05/04/2025 12:50

I’m using the term as it is usually used.

so much trans wankerism, why do they plaster themselves in make up.

so much black wankerism, why do they pretend everything is about race.

for example.

middle class wankerism = eating a brioche and clearing away crumbs.

Maybe you need a nice walk in the sunshine.
