Basically, when my brother burps (he burps a lot, and farts too) he says the word "boy" so the burp comes out like "BOY"

He also sneezes ridiculously loudly and that annoys me as he says ab bab pow when he sneezes.

I know this is the most ridiculous thread but honestly it's so rank. AIBU?

The burp thing is quite funny, but I can't stand people who do really loud uncontrolled sneezes.

Nanananah · 16/06/2012 00:23

Does it smell? that would be worse eurghhhh!!!

PoppadumPreach · 16/06/2012 00:23

he wants attention. ignore him, or say "that;s so cuuuuuuuute!" - like you were looking at kitten. do that every time he burps or sneezes.

My 94yr old very prim and proper Catholic Gran used to shout "CUNT SHIT!" whenever she sneezed.

She could never hear it though and had no idea why we used to piss ourselves laughing Blush

Noqontrol · 16/06/2012 00:26

Must try that with the word boy Grin

BettyTurnip · 16/06/2012 00:28

Hahahaha!! Cunt shit sneezing - marvellous!

So how old is your brother OP?

EcoLady · 16/06/2012 00:29

I knew a guy who used to try to say 'Aardvark' when he burped. If it was a huge post-beer-and-curry belch he'd try 'Family of Aardvarks'.

I say bollocks, arse or fanny when I burp, but only when I'm with my close friends. I've been doing it for years so I suppose if they found it rank they would have ditched me by now, which suits me just fine.

squeakytoy · 16/06/2012 08:09

for some reason my husband says "bollocks" as he is burping...

slowestwildebeast · 16/06/2012 08:51

weirdos

MsKittyFane · 16/06/2012 08:55

How old is your brother OP? Has he got a partner?

slowestwildebeast · 16/06/2012 08:56

poor partner

GobblersKnob · 16/06/2012 09:01

My wonderful grandad used to say 'Peterborough' when he burped Grin

This thread has reminded me, I haven't thought of it for years, thank you Smile

DeathCab · 16/06/2012 09:42

I say "Burp" when I burp Grin

watermargin · 16/06/2012 10:08

He's 33 - and single Grin

Can't think why!

YANBU OP. It's gross :( !!

PuppyMonkey · 16/06/2012 17:17

Grin at Peterborough. I like that.

manicbmc · 16/06/2012 17:18

Dd does burps that last for at least 10 seconds at a time. We give a round of applause. Grin

yellowraincoat · 16/06/2012 17:20

YANBU Burping is grim. Making a feature of it is worse.

Loud sneezing also a pet hate of mine. My partner does it and doesn't understand why it's annoying. He says he can't help it, which is balls.

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 16/06/2012 19:31

Tell him that unless he can get "bollocks colic fuck off" out, all on one burp, he cannot be considered a man Wink Grin

NinaHeart · 16/06/2012 19:33

I knew some "men" (ok, students) who used to try to burp "Gregory Peck".
I really have no idea why.

NicNocJnr · 16/06/2012 19:46

Lol @ Pombear Grin

MixedClassBaby · 16/06/2012 20:00

I go for 'egg nog' for a standard burp or 'arse monkeys' if I'm feeling exotic.

multipoodles · 16/06/2012 20:11

oh my husband likes to say QUARTZZZZZ as he burps! must be a man thing

accountantsrule · 16/06/2012 20:13

I have no idea why but I find disgusting loud burps more offensive that farts esepcially from women, doesn't seem so bad with man but I find it rude in public (god I sound really old and boring) - I am such a weirdo Grin
