No Janet you can’t OWN running

[Janetsadick]

It’s not “your” hobby.

Nobody is stealing your thunder by taking up running.

If you faux roll your eyes and mention it again I’m going to throw a fucking stapler at your head

AIBU?

I bow to your janetty wisdom soup!!!

ginger oh shit... I so did Janet the Janet terminology (not janetology, that would be the study of Janets and who wants to do that?!)

I'm so sorry everyone.

@Plornish I may have dreamed this but I'm sure there's a Farrow and Ball paint colour called Elephant's Breath. Poncetastic!

Yup. breath/paint-colours/farrow-ball/fcp-product/100229

Elephant's Breath reads as an uplifting mid grey with its hint of magenta, but can become almost lilac in the cooler light of west facing rooms.

Okay, try that again...

I'm copying and pasting the whole link, but it's abbreviating to nonsense.

I am not Janetting website links

ginger -- to be fair, I can't remember the exact year, whether it was 1991, 1992 or 1993 - it's all a bit hazy! I know it was one of those years though. So maybe we were there at the same time!

It seems very un-Janetty to share though...

@Gingernaut - you just Janeted Farrow and Ball too!!!

@ThumbWitchesAbroad yes fair point. I'll only concede if you can wax lyrical about your favourite pieces!

As a young teen, I knew a girl at school who Janeted Kickers shoes. She wore them and she’d ‘worn them since year 7’ and she would fall out with anyone else who got a pair because SHE WORE THEM FIRST. As an adult I bet she’s still Janeting her arse off.

My favourites are music Janets. The ones who 'discovered' an artist before everyone else.

I used to know a Manet who did this about the spice girls: When 'wannabe' came out he stated that it's was ok but he preferred their earlier stuff!!!!

This is great, my Dsis is a Janet of the highest order on absolutely everything - toys, all school subjects, university, having babies, having dogs, gardening, David Bowie, all shops, menopause, breast screening, everything.

I have been a journalist nearly 30 years but she is more of a journalist than me as she did well in O level English in 1976.

FFS I think I may be a Janet :(

Me and my Sis was pregnant at the same time, I was pregnant first and told her my baby name that i loved but other half was unsure, fast forward around 6 months and she stole MY NAME!!!!!!!! and then because she was having twins she used a variation of MY NAME to name the other,,,,,, I INVENTED THE NAME AND IT WAS MINE!!!!!!!

ginger - my favourite pieces are, and always have been, the melted clocks. I quite like the elephants too, but the clocks always win.

I think we're safe to share though - the fact that you gave an option to concede, and I considered sharing, suggest that neither of us are actually Janets at all!

gingergenius.. Nope. I'm an Anti-Janet as regards Farrow & Ball.

Dulux all the way AFAIC.

Although, ask me how to stabilise a surface for paint. I can Janet painting techniques.

I used to know a Manet who did this about the spice girls: When 'wannabe' came out he stated that it's was ok but he preferred their earlier stuff!!!!

I wonder how Janetsadick is getting on with the original Janet....

Do you think she's been arrested for stapling Janet's head to her trainers?

*Do the Americans have Janet's?

I can imagine Ina Garten being a Janet

(buddering stuff though, not running, well maybe running, but only after Jeffrey and budder )*

Um...I had to emigrate to escape the Janet's in America. However, whenever I'm back I 'own' Britain. Well, I have to compete with the Janet's who think they know more about it than I do. "Have you ever heard a real Yorkshireman speak?" as they roll out their Last of the Summer Wine DVD. "Yes, my husband, in fact."

I think I'm going to have to concede defeat in Janneting... as in I'm more a Jack of all trades and Jannet of none... :D

My cousin has Janeted parenting, via Facebook. She is the only one to ever have been a parent and she is the best at it.

@ThumbWitchesAbroad 😘

My friend and her sisters, whilst growing up, used to refer to their vaginas as Janets. I don't want the responsibility of Janetting vaginas but I am going to Janet all vagina-related euphemisms, foof, lady garden, fanny etc. In fact, I am thinking of calling my own vagina Janet now!

Someone tried to Janet my name once.
Fuck off Janet, its MY NAME. And yours is clearly Janet anyway you liar.
