AIBU to hate the phrase 'fluid bonded'?

[mumoseven]

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

[LuciLevi123]

the word titties

[Vintage45]

Fluid bonded? FGS what a load of crap.

[sandgrown]

Where I come from a growler is a pork pie!

[whycantwegoonasthree]

Bananafish it was used in the context of a non-traditional relationship, so maybe that excuses it somewhat.

--I hope so since it was me that said it.
--
It's just shorthand, and I've heard worse.

That said I'm deeply and profoundly sorry I ever typed it.

But then I also like the word moist so maybe I am odd. In ways other than being involved in a non traditional relationship.

[MakewayforNoddy]

Discharge.

Muff said.

[MakewayforNoddy]

Nuff said! Bloody autocorrect.

[KERALA1]

Cuppa and hubby are worse

[Dontlaugh]

I know it's a username on this thread but oubliette is something only serial killers use or need.
Fluid bonded; well that's just wankery, isn't it?

[mumoseven]

Ah I don't suppose it matters what words people use really. Just some phrases rub me up the wrong way. Ooh er missus etc

[Tabsicle]

Hubby makes me cringe.

Women over the age of 18 referring to "nights with the girls" makes me wonder if they are babysitting.

[Tabsicle]

Oh, and all cutesy spellings. Like bikkit instead of biscuit or sammich instead of sandwich. I sometimes have difficulties replying to anything with those words in.

[Grilledaubergines]

'Wine o'clock'makes the bike rise in me. As does 'girlie night out' and drink described as 'lady petrol'.

Oh and stick 'hun' on there too.

[Grilledaubergines]

Sorry should say 'bile'. I'm no magician, bikes do not rise in me.

I heard it for the first time on the polyamory thread. As it happens I hang out on another board with an unusually high number of polyamorous types but still haven't heard the phrase before and find it somewhat icky.

However I can see that if you live a romantically complex life you'd need a way to express the idea of "I have unprotected sex with Y because we like it and we've both had clean STD tests and neither of us have unprotected sex with any of our many other sexual partners except for Z with whom Y is attempting to conceive a child - Z is a professional dominatrix but doesn't have penetrative sex with anybody apart from Y". In this scenario X, Y and Z are "fluid bonded".

[Canyouforgiveher]

god can't stand it. And I share some fluids with dh (semen/saliva are all ok) but wouldn't share a cup of coffee or a glass of water with him ever so what does it even mean.

personally we are "children and ah sure who'd have us now" bonded

honestly I think fluid bonded being available as a phrase means we miss an opportunity here. If the phrase didn't exist we could have had a novel or a song or at least a poem about this situation.

[TheAngelofNitshillRoad]

Lady petrol!!

[TheAngelofNitshillRoad]

Fluid bonded is just a meaningless, made-up, wanky phrase.

It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't make sense.

[PacificDogwod]

Fluid bonded; well that's just wankery, isn't it?

Yes, wanking is fluidbonding with yourself.
You're v welcome.

[CheshireChat]

Well, moist is unpleasant sounding in at least another language (that I know obviously) so maybe it's the concept. Same with discharge. Though they don't sound quite so bad in my native language so I've just managed to confuse myself .

[ManneryTowers]

It's just pretentious, overt 'coolness' that makes anyone using it sound like a fool. Hth.

[TeaBelle]

I thought it was a cringey name for after work drinks - fluid bonding. Made sense to me!

[Behooven]

Well, another day of learning on mumsnet

[Gatekeeper]

I bloody hate the word gland

argghhh

how about 'mound of venus' for lady bits

or 'bower of bliss'

[MewlingQuim]

Always sounds like some small but delicious gamebird to me
