To hate the phrase Wine O'Clock?

[Bambambini]

Just that really, makes my teeth itch. Why do I imagine a crowd of middling aged, middle class women sitting with their glasses of wine who would look down their noses at other women gaily gushing about how they can't wait to get the kids home from school for Buckie O'Clock or White Lightening O'Clock.

I fall way more into the former description and no doubt drink too much wine at times but I just hate the phrase and proud clamouring to be the one start wine o'clock earliest in the day.

Friday, 6pm, I LOVE the phrase, "Wine O'clock!" (hic!)

I didn't see the other thread.

YANBU to dislike a phrase.
YABU to make stupid judgey comments about people who say it

I just say it's time for 'mummy juice'.
What is Buckie?

yet another op name to cross off the like list...

I like the phrase and used to use it and I'm neither middle aged nor middle class . It's an expression like making your teeth itch which is also pretty cool

Well I'm middle aged and decidedly middle class and I dislike the phrase too. It always seems very little girlie to me. It always hints if that there might be squealing

Yy to yard arm - fantastic and vay vay middle C

And I raise the first glass to my MC roots bollox sorry about that, dear heart.

I think allocating an hour to your drink of choice is for amateurs. The real professionals reserve a whole day for it. Today is blue curacao Tuesday in our house.

Oh, dear...please, please like me!

Soupdragon . Since when was it unreasonable on Mumsnet to make judgey comments!!!

Isn't Bucky short for Bucks Fizz

\ hic/

Oh man! Why can't you all work with me/be married to me (easily half of you are my RL friends incognito though). Actually feel like I love mumsnet at times.

Buckie is buckfast fortified wine generally favoured by younger Scottish males and drunk from the bottle.

Buckie is Buckfast a fortified wine.

I have people that post it's wine o'clock on FB at 2.30pm. I never use the phrase and am middle class and middle aged. Whatever someone chooses to drink at whatever time never annoys me.

Bamba as at happens I was just like Grey thinking that this thread was a perfect chance to do some spreadsheet updating... although our spreadsheets may have ticks and crosses in rather different places.

Well you can all fuck off as I am doing Dry January.

X post daisychain01 -

Daisy Buckie is about as far away from Bucks Fizz as it is possible to be.

It is rather..., erm.., picquant though.

YABU

Perhaps we should call the time you posted this thread Whine O'Clock

Whirlytwirlysnowflakes doesn't everybody squeal when they open the bottle?

Ohhh is that the one made by the monks from Buckfast Abbey? Could they be described as Artisans?
Surely that must be considered middle class.

YABU I rather like it, along with Gin o'clock.

Frances I never squeal.

Mr McGinty that's the one. It tastes like particularly nasty cough medicine.

If I had a big stick (bottle of antagonistic wines!) and could poke a bear!
