Ridiculous ‘in jokes’ that you no longer know the provenance of.

[CredulousThickos]

Have just sat down to watch tv with DH. Mock the Week is on. So we’ve both gone, ooh muuuurch the weeeerk and then sang over the theme tune by singing ‘newsoftheworld newsoftheworld newsoftheworld’ over all the actual lyrics.

We must have been doing this for about ten years now and I’ve no idea why.

We also pluralise/apostrophise and butcher celebrity names (Kylie’s Minogue, Liza Starbucks etc) and try to make a long chain of celebrity tenuous and fictional links, like Bruno Mars is Freddie Mercury’s nephew, who in turn is Freddie Krueger’s brother, who is married to Diane Kruger...

Tell me your frankly insane couple or family ramblings to make us feel a bit normaler!

For the Orraaaaangge Juuuice fans:

Oh and from Les Mis:

On my own, pretending he’s inside me

Instead of

On my own, pretending he’s beside me

We have a nappy changing song to the tune of Feeling Hot Hot Hot

Do you want a donkey ride, after someone has farted. The reasons are lost in the mists of time.

More tea vicar?

Dd and I sing stupid lyrics to each other.

When declaring that something is excellent or tastes great, my brother or I will say" you couldn't beat it with a pigs dick" really quickly so that it sounds like "you couldn't beat it with a big stick". This must always and only ever be said in front of our 80 something year old parents...chortling like teenagers that we have got away with it for 45 plus years. Ridiculous.

Any mention of Bond films or their theme songs means that you have start singing the titles like Matt Lucas doing an impression of Shirley Bassey.

Any question about where something needs to go or where something would be found must be answered with "up your/my bum".

Any chance to quote something from league of gentlemen, bottom, father Ted, little Britain, come fly with me, Reeves and Mortimer, etc is never missed

I elongate words for no reason, and make everyone in the house do it. Tesco is Tescorino, Asda is Asderooni, etc. It started out ironic but now I just do it to loads of words

Also if anyone uses the word 'wicked', me and dp do the Ali G thing, wicked, wicked, junglist massive... The kids love us

Whenever we have more than two of anything we say "quite a good collection, really" in a Welsh accent. I have literally no. Idea where it comes from! Also, sometimes we call each other a "shellfish" when accusing the other of selfish behaviour!

Also if eating something and the other tries to take some, it is obligatory to snatch it away and shout "none for you, Gretchen wieners!" which is from mean girls!

Must sound crazy if overheard!

If anyone uses the name Dave, obviously that leads to a chorus of YOU'RE MY WIFE NOW DAVE

YY to my wife Dave and also WOULD YOU LIKE TO BUY SOME PEGS, DAVE??? whenever we spot pegs for sale, our DD makes peg dolls, we see a washing line...

My best friend and I say in reference to anything grandma/Tina Turner or Irish related "Tina Turner Granny" in an awful Irish accent as a homage to the Commitments film we idolised as teenagers (the actual line is "yeah and Tina Turner's a granny")

If I ask DP a question (anything - where's the spare key, who's that bloke on TV) and he doesn't know the answer I'll say "but I like my blokes to know things" as a reference to a dating TV programme we once watched where the girl dismissed her suitor as he wasn't bright enough for her -she herself wasn't exactly Oxbridge material so all the more funnier.

When we are unsure what something is or are surprised by an item we say "Bunnyway?!" which was a character's reaction to (I think) his first experience of a Mars Bar in the Stargate film. It has probably been two decades since we last watched it.

Me and my best friend sometimes go to shake hands, she’ll recoil and say “eurgh you TOUCHED me” in a terrible English accent. I’ll say “I was only shaking your hand!” in an equally terrible English accent, no idea where it came from.

Me and my sister will randomly count down from 3 to 1 then say “D’you want to see my white bits?” We’ll be in a restaurant or somewhere like that and one of us will start counting down! It’s an unwritten rule that we have to say it. Can make for some very awkward situations

Whilst booking our wedding/ holiday the travel agent read out the list of-what's included ...cake, ceremony, flowers ....hos de ovs 'no idea what they are' Dh to be and I look at each other puzzled, look at the brochure .....hors d'oeuvres.

Running joke now

Also if anyone uses the word 'wicked', me and dp do the Ali G thing, wicked, wicked, junglist massive... The kids love us grin

Isn't it jungle is massive? Hopefully a typo if not you're doing the typically mum /dad thing we do of getting lyrics wrong!!

Since our ds was small, we say every Sunday we have chicken: ' do you like chicken George?' and fall about laughing. He's 18 now and wants to kill us.

Yes Cloud we (DH and I) do this and we have never ending streams of stupid pet names for the children. MuddyHoodie, Puddlefoot, Minibeast, DoomChild, Chickenpie. Lozakino. Grasslington, I don't think I every actually use my Children's given names unless we are in public lol.

Oh and if something costs £1 my sister will always incredulously shout 'how much?' Every single time

DH puts -suns on the end of all sorts of words, as in "oh, I'm a bit tired-suns"

I do remember how this came about - I was telling him the story of how my Dad always used to loudly and proudly request a "Schwetsun beef" (schezwan beef) at the Chinese restaurant. One day when I was about 19 I was asked to call in the takeaway order, and the lad who I knew from the year above me at school was taking my order and lol-ed at my pronunciation error - I'd just always assumed my dad was saying it correctly.

So next time he was a bit warm, DH declared he was "a bit sweat-Sun pork" and it has carried on from there.

A friend and I can't just say lime. We shout it in an over exaggerated Northern Irish accent... can't remember why!

emma8t4 It is Junglist.

I knew that.

I googled it, before I saw your post

Just thought of one started a few months ago in my family. My mum does Sunday dinner and it's a noisy table. One Sunday a few Months ago for some reason she kept repeating that the peppered sauce had onions in it. I think because no-one had acknowledged they'd heard her she just kept saying it. So now, every Sunday, she'll ask if everyone is enjoying their dinner and someone will say "there's onions in it". It has now extended to things like if my sister asks me to make her a cup of tea I'll set it down and tell her there's onions in it. my mum gets very concerned that we all think there is onions in everything and tries to assure us there are no onions in the tea

I have two stock responses that I think are hilarious and nobody else does. I don't know where they came from or when I started with them.

To 'Bye!' I often respond 'I'm not, but I still have a good time'. And when someone announces they're off to the toilet I say 'Mention my name and they'll give you a good seat'.

To 'Bye!' I often respond 'I'm not, but I still have a good time'.

😂😂😂 well I think that's hilarious!
