I'm adding it to my cringe list. Along with 'moist', 'lube' and 'unpick'

Doily and Hubby. Blergh. Oh and flange, that's just horrible.

Thanks sparkling

OublietteBravo beat me to it. Engineers need flanges, it's a useful thing.

Nothing on a human's body needs referring to as a flange though

Oh I'm with Welsh Minge is awful
Up there with Panties imo

MistressDeeCee · 05/03/2016 21:48

Eh? and how would you use it in the context of a sentence?Confused

Blatherskite · 05/03/2016 21:49

Which word DeeCee?

alltouchedout · 05/03/2016 21:50

It's been years since I heard that phrase. I think it's a bit pretentious and wanky but it doesn't make me cringe in the way over phrases do.

I have never heard anyone in RL say the word 'minge'. I really hope I never hear anyone say 'fluid bonded' as part of a RL conversation with me either.

You learn something new everyday.

Big Dave fluid bonded so he had a moist gusset.

MistressDeeCee · 05/03/2016 21:52

Blatherskite the fluid bonded thing. As in, "we fluid bonded last night" do people say that? Is this a thing? Ive never heard of it so Im wondering

ghostyslovesheep · 05/03/2016 21:53

playdate

sanpro

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2016 21:54

I'll never forget the morning that I discovered my teenage son had fluid bonded his bedsheet in the night. Blergh

mumoseven · 05/03/2016 21:55

Ew, 'rim'

I have never heard 'sanpro' in RL. I don't mind it on MN because it's quick to type and everyone knows what you mean. Saves typing 'sanitary towels/tampons/mooncups etc' or 'feminine hygiene products'.

elQuintoConyo · 05/03/2016 21:55

Flange is great!

Fluid bonded just sounds like crossing streams while you piss nope, never done that, oh no

I don't mind moist, yeast, felch. Not a fan of panties just so murdering-knicker-sniffer of a name.

Twinklestein · 05/03/2016 21:56

Micturition.

brightnearly · 05/03/2016 21:56

Sounds more like kissing than shagging, actually.

I'm adding 'muff' to the list. Sounds musty, dusty and gruff.

Blatherskite · 05/03/2016 21:56

DeeCee, I believe the sentence earlier was "DP and I are fluid bonded".

CrossfireHurricane · 05/03/2016 21:58

I have to use/type the word flange a lot in my job and some days I have a funny head on and have a little giggleBlush

brightnearly · 05/03/2016 21:58

Actually, is there any attractive word in the English language for female private parts?!?

ouryve · 05/03/2016 21:58

YANBU.

It's utterly revolting and makes an unprotected shag sound so damned mechanical.

mumoseven · 05/03/2016 21:59

If that guy on the telly says 'pulled pork' one more time, I'll hurl. It sounds like wanking

PacificDogwod · 05/03/2016 21:59

Fluid bonded sounds to me like some kind of engineering expression. And it's fine for that, but for anything relationship related? Euch!

I have no problem with any of the other words/phrases mentioned here. BLS/baby wearing is very useful to identify the uses mindset Grin

PacificDogwod · 05/03/2016 22:00

How about 'growler', brightnearly? Grin

novemberchild · 05/03/2016 22:01

'Baby-wearing' conjures up weird, Buffalo-Bill esque vibes.

On a tenuously related note 'mummy tummy'. I actually once found maternity jeans called that: 'Mummy tummy jeans'. I'm still enraged about it 20 years later, which proves I'm mad that they were evil.
