to loathe the word "manshape"

[OhdearNigel]

It makes my teeth bleed.

MenopausalHaze, sit down, have a and a cupcake.

Empress you must be psychic. I've just uncorked a juicy bottle of red since it's Friday night and Wine O'Clock!

is MN not a small village??

SheGeek
Jamie of course it is. It's a virtual village. Have a and get your hopes back up.

"I think the males have fairly funny walks too."

But they´re maybe not inwardly screaming with every step!

Whew

"diddly squat"

Ooh-for a minute I thought that someone was talking about me.

That would be a first-on here, anyway!

diddl, sorry, re reading the post it does look a bit confusing
What I meant that I got the impression that you and demented are both long term posters so I assumed you knew her history.
That was all.

I´ve no idea how long I´ve been posting tbh-but no, I don´t "know" demented or her history.

I don´t recognise the name at all-although names rarely register with me.

I'm just glad I'm not a duck. Come and have some , LadyEvilEyes.

I must confess to calling my boyfriend 'boyface'. He calls me 'girlface'. (To each other, not on the internet).

I really honestly can't see how that, or manshape/womanshape is insultingly objectifying.

All this duck information has totally ruined Friends for me......

Poor chick

I don't like all this sex talk about ducks.
Ducks are cute little quacky things or rather nice with an orange sauce.
People on this thread that are talking about them as sex objects are no better than they ought to be.
And thank you very much Empress, I have a box of wine of which many inroads have been made.

I've somehow missed the "very sweet reason" Dee has for calling her DH Manshape. It makes me boak too.

Oh, the fucking irony!

'Manshape' isn't allowed, but 'boak' is.

What the fuck is 'boak' meant to mean? It's more utterly sickening MN shite.

'Boak' is a very common expression for being sick...always has been as far as I know. Not an MN thing at all?

where as manshape is a brand of underpants

admits i had a google of the word manshape

'Boak' is a very common expression for being sick...always has been as far as I know. Not an MN thing at all?

In that case, I apologise unreservedly.

Me and my Friday-wine-tainted big mouth. I thought it was one person's made-up-word versus another. [hblush]

Lol Shelly I'm sad enough to have checked and it's in the dictionary [hblush]

fgs you lot give it up

accept that dee likes to use that word and live with it

if she called her dp 'bumsexshape' you would probably all be whooping with joy

..in the dictionary

Oh my word. What is the world coming to! [hshock]

southeast I think most people have accepted Dee likes to use the word

I think the 'problem' is some people can't accept other people are entitled to discuss the fact they don't like it/can't stand it.

it's obviously more than the word that gets to people

Nope - it's just the bloody word that gets to me. It's absurd and moreover very very icky. And juvenile. And icky.

If someone really didn't want to provoke comment, they'd keep their own counsel on the pet name and the reasons for it. It's really not that difficult to think of a word for a partner that wouldn't invite any questions at all.

The suck-ups annoy me. There's no poster set above any other on a chatboard, albeit you have ones you like and ones you don't like perhaps.

It could be being told they're not allowed to say they dislike it because Dee is a reg and there's a sweet story behind it?

That gets a lot of backs up I think...when people forget not everyone knows this Dee and it's also a public forum where everyone's entitled to their opinion.
