After five pages, I gave up on this thread.

The use of the term "hamwidge", "jamwidge", "eggwidge" made me feel quite lightheaded with rage.

Please, please, please OP, call it a sandwich. I am not surprised the offender didn't know she'd given your child a hamwidge, she probably had NO clue what you were talking about.

amazingmumof6 · 17/05/2013 07:59

mrrected are you for real?

op said her child was forced to eat.....whatever it was you don't force someone else's child to eat anything!

OP was

amazingmumof6 · 17/05/2013 08:02

oops- sent before finished

so OP was saying hamwidge to clarify and emphasize there was HAM given to a vegetarian child. widge ( Grin )is of course very wrong!

if you don't understand the post no point in replying

and long live all widgies!

MrRected AFAIK people are allowed to speak, chat & name things however they like. IMHO it's up to them.
Txt speak, bad spelling, Nicknames, acronyms which drive some people mad on here noone is forcing you to read it

rosepettel came on here with a dilemma that written another way would have given her almost universal support.
I think she may be my favourite ever poster for starting this thread and introducing me to the whole _widge thing. Also love the posters with their beans on toastwich and possibly my favourite from pleasedonteatmyshoe the dullwich and kingwich. Total genius!!!

ladyjadie · 17/05/2013 10:06

the food is fine

Smile

^ this, this!^ After keeping most of my composer composure, that was a tea-spit moment.

God Bless OP

Who knew some trolls were vege Grin

PP I PMSL! mrrected AFAIKYABU.

amazingmumof6 · 17/05/2013 10:44

also if your lack of sense of humour is caused by low blood sugar levels I suggest you eat a FUNwidge!Grin

amazingmumof6 · 17/05/2013 10:46

and a veggie burger should really be called greenwidge

GMT has a new meaning : Greenwidge Munch Time

amazingmumof6 · 17/05/2013 10:47

I'm on firewidge

Mopswerver · 17/05/2013 10:51

This reminds me of the episode in 'The Royle Family" where Anthony introduces his veggie girlfriend and Nana asks her "So can't you eat ANY meat? not even wafer thin ham?" Lol.

I would go with a friendly but firm reminder. No point falling out over it. You're vegetarian and if that's difficult for her, no problem you can send some butties in a box (or whatever). Don't let it rile you. Some people are ignorant. Smile

FUNWICH Love that...what would be the ingredients on a funwich?

Maybe...

Bread

Golden Syrup

Bread

? Sounds like a funwich to me provided I don't eat 10 of them, then go on a bouncy castle and produce a HurlWich!!

I understand perfectly. The term hamwidge is still awful.

amazingmumof6 · 17/05/2013 12:31

for dieters: slimwidge

for babies: milkwidge

for holidays on the beach: sandwidge Wink, sunwidge or seawedge

for cleaning up poo: sewidge

Ipswidge - if that's where you live

I can't stop, I need a docwidge

SoupDragon · 17/05/2013 12:45

amazingmumof6 It's polite to try and get someone's name right.

amazingmumof6 · 17/05/2013 12:47

FGS Yes it's all very funny isn't it, but for those of you not taking it seriously this is clearly just the thin end of the widge Hmm
