You're right, that's how they're pronounced. There is a similarity in the way I say them too. Only problem is I really was thinking of a different word but I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Just went 'oh that must be it' and wrote gibbet down Blush

I am wearing my Diary Doll period pants today if anyone's interested.

I'm wearing leggings that are 2 sizes too big because I don't like tight clothes Grin (I know, I'm strange)

What's Diary Doll?

Sparklingbrook · 14/10/2016 20:54

Yes. You must snort some tea out of your nose too usual and nominate the thread for classics immediately. Grin

A gibbet is the thing they hang people from, I think.

I've had a lot of wine (rare, but it's my birthday so I'm allowed) so may not be remembering correctly.

Soubriquet · 14/10/2016 21:02

Oh yes. Where they let crows peck your eyes out?

Kind of waterproof pants. By Carol Smillie and Annabel Croft. For those worrying days when you fear a flood will occur. I only got them a few weeks ago so doing a road test. Grin

Isn't the gibbet part of gallows? For hanging people.

DoloresVanCartier · 14/10/2016 21:03

Then what's a flippitygibbet?

whattodowiththepoo · 14/10/2016 21:04

It's only goads bullshit based on your opinions.
Many different people and many different opinions.

OhMrsQ · 14/10/2016 21:05

flippitygibbet? an upside down gallows?

Talking of diarydoll pants, has anyone heard of those period knickers you wear instead of a towel/tampon? V popular over here right now.

Ick.

RaspberryOverloadTheFirst · 14/10/2016 21:05

OK, I googled gibbet. Its the place where bodies are hanged after execution, to deter others. So could be used for people who'd been executed by guillotine, for example.

OhMrsQ · 14/10/2016 21:06

RaspberryOverloadTheFirst ooh. thank you!
