It makes my teeth bleed.

Apparently pigs also have corkscrewish penises, while cats have barbed ones. Ouch.

AFuckingKnackeredWoman · 28/10/2011 18:52

Who knew penises were so fascinating

EmpressOfTheZombieDucks · 28/10/2011 18:54

I'm gay, it's a purely intellectual interest as far as I'm concerned... but a lot of imagination appears to have gone into it!

TheOriginalFAB · 28/10/2011 19:03

Only on MN could a thread about someone's dislike of a word progress to animal penises.

kitbit · 28/10/2011 19:03

YANBU to dislike the word manshape.

YABVU to start a thread about it. Yes, the wrath of MN will descend upon you. Dee uses it with special meaning and Dee is a much loved MN regular so that's why you'll get jumped on...because people defend their friends.

HappyMoleDeletedByEvilMole · 28/10/2011 19:08

Okay, this is just hilarious

diddl · 28/10/2011 19:17

"Dee uses it with special meaning and Dee is a much loved MN regular"

And everyone is expected to know that??!!

And does that mean that this thread is a reference to her?

LadyEvilEyes · 28/10/2011 19:21

I recognise your name diddl, so you obviously knew that.
As I said above, I had no idea why she used the term, but who the fuck cares. It's her affectionate term for her partner, simple as that.

JamieComeHome · 28/10/2011 19:25

diddl - I assumed it was, as she's got a thread on AIBU today, quite a busy one. I might be wrong, but it seems a bit of a coincidence.

JamieComeHome · 28/10/2011 19:26

I don't know dee, btw, but I think threads about threads are rude

JamieComeHome · 28/10/2011 19:27

Actually, the thread's not on AIBU, but somewhere else

EmpressOfTheZombieDucks · 28/10/2011 19:28

Next question. Is the frankly barmy duck reproductive method a sign of evolution at its weirdest or a God with a very odd sense of humour?

GalloweesG · 28/10/2011 19:32

My dh doesn't really like Dh, the first time he read it he thought I was referring to him as DickHead :o

chipmonkey · 28/10/2011 19:33

Yah-Boo.

HappyMoleDeletedByEvilMole · 28/10/2011 19:36

God with a sick sense of humor for sure. I mean ducks are cute and hilarious, with their funny little walks.

Them bam

Turns out they are enormous penised rapists.

It's like finding out kittens drink blood.

diddl · 28/10/2011 19:36

"I recognise your name diddl, so you obviously knew that."

Say what?Confused

What do I obviously know?

EmpressOfTheZombieDucks · 28/10/2011 19:42

Vampire kittens would drink blood.
I guess lion / tiger / etc cubs might, too.

Ducks, though... All that AND quacking. What was God thinking?

Anyone want some Wine?

diddl · 28/10/2011 19:47

Ooh Wine for me please-it´s quarter to nine here-why haven´t I started yet?

diddl · 28/10/2011 19:49

"with their funny little walks."

Is that just the females?Blush

SheGeek · 28/10/2011 19:50

YABU. I love made up words beacuse pretty soon they become common words and thus the language evolves!

FlyingPirates · 28/10/2011 19:51

This thread started out and has descended into Grin. I Love MN!

EmpressOfTheZombieDucks · 28/10/2011 19:52

I think the males have fairly funny walks too.

MenopausalHaze · 28/10/2011 19:53

"Dee uses it with special meaning and Dee is a much loved MN regular"

That may very well be the case but I've been here for years (many different name changes) and I don't know diddly squat about her, rarely see her post and certainly don't love her. Much loved? What nonsense - it's a message board not a small village in the countryside ffs.

EmpressOfTheZombieDucks · 28/10/2011 19:53

We aim to please. Grin
