Please tell me nicely so I don't have to google

Blue waffle is an urban myth isnt it? like dragon butter?

Wittsend13 · 03/09/2013 20:57

That's pretty grim! Reminds me of that email that went around of the womans breast!

Thepowerof3 · 03/09/2013 20:58

It's pictures of holey things, I can't really describe it without sounding pathetic

Oh god, the blow up of the lotus seed pod - it actually sent me into a depression for a few days. Very unpleasant. Apparently it's an extreme disgust reaction (or something, I can't goggle it as it will show me pictures and not if you paid me)

vaticancameo · 03/09/2013 21:01

Come on guys, most of those pics are just someone going at Photoshop a bit too enthusiastically...

nobutts · 03/09/2013 21:02

Its not irrational..maggots are sick. They are a moving embodiment of the phobia because they're all the saaaaammmmee!! Aaagh.

olidusUrsus · 03/09/2013 21:03

I knew it would involve spiders. If someone promises to link to a non spidery one I'll look. Otherwise I am Not Googling with Capital Letters. And yy I think blue waffle is an urban myth. I scare myself that it didn't bother me...

mrstigs · 03/09/2013 21:03

Blue waffle didnt bother me either. And Italy apparently not true.
Im slightly worried now that my mind is so corrupt it seems nothing shocks it. That's probably not good.
I've learnt new things thanks to this thread mind you, every days a school day on aibu...

AnneUulmelmahay · 03/09/2013 21:04

Ugh ugh ugh

Loads of us gave selves this phobia a coupla years back

mrstigs · 03/09/2013 21:04

its
lack of proofreading sorry!

ToysRLuv · 03/09/2013 21:05

What is a blue waffle (roughly, in a nutshell)? I'm NOT googling!

MoonlightandRoses · 03/09/2013 21:05

Feeling nauseated after viewing pictures of eight-legged beasties, or reading Urban Dictionary - YANBU.

Feeling nauseated by clusters of holes, including the dodgy photo shopped ones - YABU. Not irrational or anything, me. Grin

Thepowerof3 · 03/09/2013 21:05

I'm sure loads aren't real but still make me feel quivery, apparently it's something to do with an ingrained fear of medieval poxes

ToysRLuv · 03/09/2013 21:06

No, ok, I will.. Jeez..

CalamityJones · 03/09/2013 21:06

Don't do it, olidusUrsus. I was told about it years ago and thought vaguely 'oh, I don't like holes much either, I'll see if I have that' and then was locked into googling stuff and crying and feeling sick for an entire afternoon.

olidusUrsus · 03/09/2013 21:07

Blue waffle was meant to be what happened if you knocked a fanny around for a bit, basically someone shoved a blue tinge on a labia in photoshop and told everyone that's what happened if you dtd rough like. I think.

olidusUrsus · 03/09/2013 21:07

I won't, Calamity. I will not. I know I'll hate it!

Thepowerof3 · 03/09/2013 21:08

Nobutts you made me laugh out loud!
