Hot Choccy.....

[dontticklethetoad]

I know ianbu. Although maybe slightly U as I know these type of threads have been done to death.

Ive just been on Facebook for the first time in ages and the first two words I see are 'hot choccy'. I can't stand it.

That is all.

"Hubby" or "Husband" but always given as a proper noun

Friend 1 who was imminently about to give birth to first child asked Friend 2 rather coyly if her ‘tuppence’ had been damaged during her very swift delivery. Friend 2 cheerfully answered that her ‘minge was fine, thank you very much!’. Friend 1 was horrified 😳. I was howling 😂.

‘Tuppence’ Jesus I’ll never watch Mary Poppins again in the same light! 🤣

I have a friend whose (unfortunate) name is Tuppence. I don't think she'll be very happy about this new definition...

Always knew it as an hapenny as in hang onto your hapenny, suppose inflation means is now a tuppence.

Cannot stop saying choglut in a caveman voice to my cat. Apologies for my user name to all ‘pussie’ haters!

yothepussy you are the only person I have heard, other than my mum, say that phrase! I thought she had made it up

I've never heard 'hang on to your happeny', what does it mean?! If a hapenny is a vulva then how are you meant to hang on to it?! It's not likely to go walking off by itself!

Means preserving your virginity. Hence its lack of modern usage!

Hubby and kiddies do my head in. And as for kiddiewinks ....

Looking online, there is very little info. I did find a thread that states it is advice from older woman to younger to keep a half penny in their knickers for the bus fair home, in case their suite tries to get frisky.

Also can be symbolic of female genitals.

So there you go.

It's an old song...

"Keep yer 'and on yer ha'penny,
Cover it well with yer palm.
Keep yer 'and on yer ha'penny
And I promise ye'll come ter no 'arm."

There's a video on Youtube by - coincidentally - Fivepenny Piece.

Meant to say... The song featured in an eisode of the wonderful Trinity Tales in 1975 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Tales). I don't know whether anyone else remembers it.

That song is made me ‘laugh out loud’ 🤣

‘Kiddies’ is one thing but ‘kiddos’ is even worse.

‘Veggies’even worse. Yes.Once on This Morning Richard Madeley was talking about getting 'fresh veggies' in from the garden to make soup.
It's stuck with me for more than 20 years. I don't know why it was so irritating but I feel better having written it down.

I see your kiddiewinks and I raise you...kidlets

I call mine sproglets.

I used to work in a nursing home. One of the fabulous ladies in there told me ‘keep your hand on your ha’penny’. Sound advice Mrs J, sound advice indeed :)

@dontticklethetoad comfy is top of the list. Usually used by people suggesting that a poster wear a comfy cardie to an interview.

Every time I hear it I picture a velour clad possessor of a natty curly perm descending on me.

If you wear a comfy cardie during the daytime, then I expect you'd wear a comfy nightie in bed. Tucked up with a hotty bottle after having a drinkie of hot choccy...

I've just looked up from this thread to tell my 21 year old daughter she needs to make an appointment at the doc docs!

I've never said that in my life, this thread obviously has hidden side effects, it's turning me into one of them!

I have a colleague who has twins. Despite the fact that te children do actually have proper names she insists on referring to them as 'smidge' and 'smudge'. At. All. Times.

Not just when they are there as nicknames or even just in the home. But she will arrive to a meeting and say 'sozzles I'm late I had to drop Smidge off to nursery because Smudge is a poorly bubs so The Hubster is at home with him.'

I hate her so much.

I see your kidlets and I raise you "little man"!!

Are you using "little man" here as a term of endearment for your husband or his penis?
