to get upset at inappropriate thread titles

[MrsGoranVisnjic]

I've obviously made a huge error of judgement commenting on a thread full of hugely pregnant women and I apologise to them for that (pleading temporary insanity of disgusting icky cold)

however

I do hate seeing thread titles popping up all the time in active conversations (because they're ongoinng chats rather than jokes that fade away) that have sexual innuendo in the title .. just seems so uneccessarily childishly assinine

eg an ante natal thread entitled 'minty sperm or original' .. ach!

[sunnywong]

see my link, Northerner

[lulumama]

"but sperm is a whole different kettle of fish!!"


PMSL!!!

[Tutter]

snurk at twig being called a silly woman

[northerner]

Ah Sunnywong. Graet minds and all that eh?

[themoon66]

I want to know what beanies are too

[Cashncarry]

I think all this talk of spunk and fish (tut, tut lulumama) is getting somewhat inappropriate

[NotQuiteCockney]

[sperm-guzzling pregnant ladies]
Well, it's not like they're calling it 'spunk', to be fair.

(Ok, yes, they mean semen, not sperm, but don't get me started on all that.)

I think it's probably the texture? Not sure. Gaviscon is gross, certainly.

[early weaners]
I think HM once did an intervention on a thread like that. I do worry that gangs of mums are peer pressuring each other into weaning early because their children are so 'advanced'.

[Greensleeves]

[MrsGoranVisnjic]

beanies is an icky sentimental term for a baby in utero .. because it looks like a bean I assume HTH

[Jelley]

October post natal thread is a referance to weaning. (for hunker)

[Tutter]

nqc - weird isn't it

i honestly had no idea anyone associated early weaning with being developmentally advanced when ds was a titch

wondered why mil kept chuntering on about it

how very bizarre eh?

[EllieKwithaHUGEbump]

i'm sorry if we offended you all but as i'm sure you are aware, keeping youur huumour in pg is not exactly easy

and perhaps it would have been better to do as NQC did and ask us? rather than just coming on and insulting me?

[MrsGoranVisnjic]

lend us yer sleeves before you go greeny .. I'm SO snotty

[Tutter]

it's the

(((((((((hugs))))))))

that make me shudder more than any possible spunk related innuendo

[itsmeNDaveP]

'beanies' are foetuses

[hunkerdave]

Oh, God, just found it - SO SOLIDS CREW (albeit with a wink, but on further exploration, it's not because they're all waiting till 6 months)

Much reference to sunshine banana. FGS.

I nearly posted, but worried they'd come for me a-brandishing their spoons.

I might still though. I think it does put pressure on women who'd otherwise leave it to see others with babies their age having inappropriate food rammed into them.

[MrsGoranVisnjic]

actually Ellie I didn't insult you I insulted your choice of thread title .. which is knowingly double entendre

[MrsBadger]

sunshine banana?

[heave]

[Tutter]

sgonna kick off

thread linking going on

prepare for invasion of ellie's mates

[itsmeNDaveP]

lots of the ttc chat makes me boak too

"ewcm" (delightful)
"baby dust"
"baby dancing" or "BD"
"beanie"

[boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY]

I always assumed beanies were embryos, because embryos look a bit like beans in those photos you see in pregnancy books?

[MrsGoranVisnjic]

because it makes me shudder

and because it is part of the wider mumsnet board so I cannot NOT see it

so I wonder if I'm being unreasonable objecting to it

and honestly, truly .. I don't think I am .. and I don't think I'm alone

[Tutter]

ah but ewcm is just a useful, quite technical, term

can't really be grouped with neanies and babydust, surely (she says, revealing hersleft to be an ex-user of ewcm lingo...)

[boredwithwaitingforminiMOSSY]

Xposts NDP!

[itsmeNDaveP]

what he feck is a sunshine banana ? is it another ttc euphamism ?
