Fanjo
Vagine

WilsonFrickett · 30/05/2012 17:32

Waiter rose. But only because that's what my ipad autocorrects it to when I'm on here. And on here is the only time I ever have reason to type Waitrose.

Also cocklodger came up in conversation with a crowd of other women I didn't know very well and one of them gave me the look so I probably outed myself big time there Grin

IAmBooybilee · 30/05/2012 17:33

i am always saying yabu to my dcs. not you are being unreasonable but actually saying yaboo! then the do this Hmm

discophile · 30/05/2012 17:33

somebloke123 · 30/05/2012 17:33

Leave the bastard that's what I say.

TequilaMockinBird · 30/05/2012 17:34

You've missed twunt and norks out. 2 of my faves Grin

IAmBooybilee · 30/05/2012 17:34

oh yes and i sometimes call children ds1 in a text to people who know them instead of their actual name. Blush

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 30/05/2012 17:34

I used some of those words in everyday RL pre joining MN... I just use them all now! Grin

anniemcphee · 30/05/2012 17:36

What is vair? Blush

discophile · 30/05/2012 17:36

Vair is very. Obviously. Please - what is a cocklodger??? I need to ask.

Fillybuster · 30/05/2012 17:36

Twunt
Norks
Fanjo

3 of the best things I have learnt from my many wasted years time on MN.

And I've learnt how to use Greggs and Fruit Shoots in a judgeypants sentence :)

usualsuspect · 30/05/2012 17:38

Cocklodger is not just a MN term , neither is boak or slattern

anniemcphee · 30/05/2012 17:38

Ah ok lol.
Isn't a cocklodger a man who is being a cock and happens to live in your house. Like a DH / DP who is being a pain in the arse?

discophile · 30/05/2012 17:39

Ah. OK.

MrsTerryPratchett · 30/05/2012 17:40

Pombear anyone? Bear

EXmrsmascarahead · 30/05/2012 17:44

Twatbadger and Fuckmuncher have got to be my faves.

I also like the phrase 'Fuck the fuck off and when you get there fuck off somemore' I try to use it at least once a day.Grin

BadgersRetreat · 30/05/2012 17:45

hahahaha at pombear - that was one of the very first threads i read and pmsl

DH does not get MN at all (other than telling me i hog the ipad of an evening)

judgy pants is my fave by far....just so descriptive

fanjo prob 2nd fave

i love you all just a little bit...

IAmBooybilee · 30/05/2012 17:51

i think fuckersnails has to be my favourite MN creation. yet to use it in RL though.

EdgarAllenPimms · 30/05/2012 17:51

i try to get the word fanjo into as many real life conversations as possible. SO far: not many.

usualsuspect · 30/05/2012 17:52

I hate 'Fuck the fuck off and when you get there fuck off some more' it was funny the first few times , not so much now though.

thatisall · 30/05/2012 17:56

wtaf is one I discovered on here....and Ive called my husband my darling partner when TALKING to folk recently....must sound like a right twunt ;-P

WhereYouLeftIt · 30/05/2012 17:59

IMO a cocklodger is a freeloader that lives not only with you but also upon you. Like a parasite, all take and no give.

IAmBooybilee · 30/05/2012 17:59

agree usual.

MustControlFistOfDeath · 30/05/2012 18:01

I hate the 'fuck the fuck off' one too, been done to death. same as 'makes me stabby'.
