my brother's best friend has just named his newborn the same name as my brother's son- who is four years old. Now I know that it is a compliment, but it's the way in which he conducted himself. He didn't consult with my brother, didn't even tell him his baby had been born a week ago. My brother heard from a friend. When he rang to congratulate him, and asked the baby's name, he commented it was nice that he had named him after his son: but his best friend had the audacity to say he didn't like the name at all, it was his girlfriend's choice, also he wasn't aware that my brother's son had that name, although he had an inkling! He said they consulted baby name books, etc. My brother is understandably upset and feels betrayed. We, as a family, feel my brother's pain. But are we being terribly unreasonable, or are we justified in our emotions?

How do people come up with this. Do you just sit there one night while watching a movie and think, you know what I would like to try?...........seriously?!?

How does it even enter your thought process? My flabber has well and truly been ghasted today,

Phew! I think I need to lie down now.
(note to self, remember to get people in work to google all of the above)

WOTN, just to soothe you a bit, most of these things - Space docking, ice docking (I think that was one), Pink socking and all that are just a load of made up internet bullshit.

I think the Cleveland Steamer is probably a known practice, but only because some people are into scat - but they are a tiny tiny minority of weirdos

I actually do feel a bit ill, Im supposed to be going out for dinner today aswell.....better not order waffle for dessert

We got a phone call at 2 am when DH's best friend had a baby. He sees our own kids all the time & knows exactly how they are developing. That's a best mate. This sounds like someone your brother vaguely knows tbh!

What's your nephew's name? If it's Jack or Charlie, YABU. If it's Zebediah or Tavish, YANBU, perhaps.

ShirleyKnot · 01/09/2011 10:48

Wha?!

Nah, seriously most of it is just people thinking of the worst possible thing they could imagine and saying it's a thing people do.

Mine would be: Skyling.
Definition - MAKING LOVE WITH JEREMY KYLE WHILE HE LOOKS IN YOUR EYES AND SAYS FAMOUS PHRASES FROM HIS CHATSHOW AT THE POINT OF ORGASM HE SHOUTS "IT'S MY DAMN CUM"

see? You will never google anything more horrific than that.

Claw3 · 01/09/2011 10:49

Witch, its pretty random isnt it! The fact that someone has even thought up a name for it.

leftblank · 01/09/2011 10:50

Wow, I wonder where one would find a fellow munter

Witchofthenorth · 01/09/2011 10:52

Oooh I had heard of space docking before........think that was the same day as I was suckered into googling two girls and a cup. I still require therapy after that one! For those reaching for the search engine, pease don't unless you are ok with watching weird pornography, it is not good!

Sigh, and I always thought of myself as an openminded, not very naive witch......seems there is a whole other world out there! I must convey my thanks to the MN school of language :o

I shall go and bathe in bleach now for a while and check back later for my next lesson :):)

Claw3 · 01/09/2011 10:52

Leftblank, exactly there has to be two of you to munt. How would you approach someone you know to find out if you have this is common!

I'm so glad I got to the end before this thread disappeared. I thought Tinkerbelle would wake up half way through and I wouldn't get back in time.

Shirley it couldn't be any worse...........I must forget that image

Witchofthenorth · 01/09/2011 10:55

There MUST be a web site where you can meet up with fellow munters there is one for everything else!

Shall I check..........?

HPonEverything · 01/09/2011 10:55

Shirley how about if he also shouts out "I DIDN'T PUT ANYTHING ON THE END OF IT!!!"?

Witch, i like to think that it is impossible and no one actually does it, please dont burst my bubble!

ihatecbeebies · 01/09/2011 11:00

I thought two girls one cup was bad.....until I saw one man one jar......

nenevomito · 01/09/2011 11:00

I should not be sitting in work considering an imaginary shag with Jeremy Kyle and yet here I am.

I love MN sometimes. And in some really unexpected ways too.
