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

If I'm being really sensible then I'd say that promoting 'fluid bonding' as a preferred way of having sex is an irresponsible concept for alot of reasons.

What's up with moist? I am delighted if I make a moist sponge.

YY Molto my Vax has a 'crevice tool'. Yuk

OMFG DestinyDaughter those poor bloody horses!

WorraLiberty · 05/03/2016 22:31

'Secretions' that's another one.

Tummy time did exist in 1999! That was when my son was born and the HV always told me to make sure he had tummy time.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2016 22:32

I'm sure blokes don't cringe when they hear the words hard, stiff, erect or come so why should we feel sick about the words damp or moist?

Sparklingbrook · 05/03/2016 22:33

Maybe it hadn't made it to Worcestershire U2. I do live in a one horse town. I don't think it made any difference the boys never got any. Grin

Sallystyle · 05/03/2016 22:39

Well, mine did get tummy time, but he never learned to crawl until after he walked at the age of two.

So it didn't really do much Grin

Tummy time only made DS1 scream like a banshee.
He soon taught me to desist Grin

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 05/03/2016 22:43

This thread reminds me of Colonel Melchitt: "Now "JOB" is a positively disgusting word"...

Oh yes 'mummy tummy' bleurgh. And adults saying they've 'got a tummy ache'!

So is tummy time literally just shoving them on their tummies? How long for? Do you have to do anything while they are lay there on their front? Confused

PacificDogwod · 05/03/2016 22:48

Sukey Grin

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 05/03/2016 22:49

Supposed to strengthen neck muscles I think but in the olden days we put them down for a sleep on their fronts sometimes which is now outlawed.

7Days · 05/03/2016 22:49

It must be for two minutes, in the sunshine while being bf. Isn't it awful how dragged up our kids were

WelshMoth · 05/03/2016 22:54

Re my Flange -

Didn't know it had to have a bodily connotation. Just that it makes me cringe. Gussets have useful functions too but it's a cringey word.

WelshMoth · 05/03/2016 22:55

Not my Flange

No idea why I wrote that!

Sparklingbrook · 05/03/2016 22:55

Oh no. My poor teens and their possibly rubbish neck muscles. Shock

PacificDogwod · 05/03/2016 22:57

Sparkling, you just have to ensure that they have access to very, very fast cars with unreasonably huge acceleration and their neck muscles will soon catch up now, see, that is something I worry about - adolescent boys and fast cars

RumbleMum · 05/03/2016 23:02

Felch is a totally wrong word, and also the only onomatopoeic sex word I can think of.

brightnearly some of the medieval words were ok. How about quim? Always sounds like some small but delicious gamebird to me Grin

jilliwilliwoo · 05/03/2016 23:10

brightnearly quim or schmoo is nice

Fluid bonded = no more nails, I know I have seen it on the instructions

What happened to 'bare back' I assumed that covered all those moments?

bananafish81 · 05/03/2016 23:26

I've only ever heard it used in the context of non traditional relationships

Eg my friend and his boyfriend still shag other people, but agreed that they are serious enough to shag each other without protection (whilst using protection when they shag people outside the relationship)

They're not exclusive but they have agreed to trust that the other won't endanger their sexual health

As a term it seems somewhat less indelicate than 'jizz partner'!

Sounds like that phase at pre 1980s primary school where friends demonstrated their bff status by each drawing blood and placing the cuts together to become "blood brothers".Shock

Funnily enough, it all seemed to stop when the adverts featuring big icebergs of doom started to appear Hmm
