Nope, not heard it before

Although there is quite a lot of MN-specific stuff which goes right over my head so possibly that I've heard it and not questioned before

I've only seen it/heard it here on MN. And only within the last few months.

Not keen on it, don't know why.

Stealthpolarbear · 09/02/2015 20:41

It's unpleasant

Never heard it, it must be regional?

EhricLovesTheBhrothers · 09/02/2015 20:46

I like it. I think I heard my friend from Gateshead say it first, is it a north east thing?

OstentatiousBreastfeeder · 09/02/2015 20:49

Never heard it. Rand 'ere its sort it aaaaaht mate

Showy · 09/02/2015 20:50

I have only ever heard it on here. I prefer have a word with yourself.

pepperpigmustdie · 09/02/2015 20:50

Heard it growing up - also

Wobbly gob - some one that can't keep their mouth shut.

Chicken heads - group of women working them selfs up over gossip

eatshit Grin ha ha

MargotLovedTom · 09/02/2015 20:53

I like it, but then I think there's something inherently funny about the word 'wobble' for some reason.

I would rethink using 'chicken head', in modern parlance it means a woman who likes to partake in casual fellatio!
