Am I the only one who didn't know?

What is it?

sparechange · 04/08/2017 22:45

Is it bum sex?

MargotLovedTom1 · 04/08/2017 22:45

No idea!

OrphanAccount · 04/08/2017 22:46

Sounds like a deviant sexual practice. Is it?

SnarkOfTheThunderPants · 04/08/2017 22:46

Sounds like it should be on urban dictionary.

Icanseethepigeon · 04/08/2017 22:46

And ....? Please tell, I'm old too.

HardPiper · 04/08/2017 22:46

Eating a shit load of food on camera

missiondecision · 04/08/2017 22:47

I'm not googling mukbang... sounds gross.

3luckystars · 04/08/2017 22:47

It's a typo.

MadameJosephine · 04/08/2017 22:47

Please save me from googling it

SnarkOfTheThunderPants · 04/08/2017 22:48

It's not that gross mission, not as gross as a purple waffle for example.
Just strange.

SnarkOfTheThunderPants · 04/08/2017 22:48

It's just people filming themselves eating.

Cailleach666 · 04/08/2017 22:49

It's eating on video, loads on Youtube, people eating large meals.
Started in S Korea.

17 yo DD was laughing at me for not knowing about this trend.

I had to google it. That is one of the weirdest trends I've ever seen!

Fuck I am old! Nothing makes sense anymore. Confused

KoalaDownUnder · 04/08/2017 22:50

It is gross. It's people filming themselves eating a ton of food. How is that not gross?

cardibach · 04/08/2017 22:51

Your DD is mistaken in thinking it is that main stream, I think. It is also odd.

MaryShelley1818 · 04/08/2017 22:52

Never heard of it!!

LolaTheDarkdestroyer · 04/08/2017 22:53

Its what her on celeb big brother does ..she makes a lot of money fat as fuck though.

HighAlert · 04/08/2017 22:53

I've spent my Friday evening watching Gardeners World. I so don't give a shit about new fangled sayings.

Baalam · 04/08/2017 22:54

It's pretty out there. I'd be happy not to know what it is.

RaininSummer · 04/08/2017 22:54

Never heard of it but sounds vile.

BelligerentGardenPixies · 04/08/2017 22:55

Never heard of it so I must be ancient.

EvilDoctorBallerinaDuck · 04/08/2017 22:55

What is a mukbang? Confused

Cailleach666 · 04/08/2017 22:58

Cardibach- well my DD knew about it.

I stumbled across one on youtube and mentioned it to her- but mispronounced it, she corrected me then explained what it was.

Very odd.

How DO you pronounce it?? As in Muck-bang?!
