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

Blatherskite · 05/03/2016 21:47

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

Minniemagoo · 05/03/2016 21:47

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.

Sparklingbrook · 05/03/2016 21:52

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.

howtorebuild · 05/03/2016 21:52

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.
