Mine just popped into my head.
it’s a profound reflection on the relationship between our words and perception when interpretations are made by an outside agency
Those puzzle books used to have clues you can solve with a mirror.

Mine is a question someone asked George Osbourne when he was whittering on about the amazing day he'd spent with a group of miners. He was asked 'Which is your favourite?'. Someone called him an irredeemable cockthistle too Grin.

I’m still going through these and loving them all Grin.

I'm a massive resident evil fan, the games, not the movies, although those are ok.
The script was originally in Japanese and it didn't translate over well into English for the release they did here, and it is famous for some reeeeeeeeally bad voice acting scripts.

At one point, the character you play as (well, theres 2, in the scenarin where you play as Jill) is nearly killed by a trap with a collapsing ceiling, your team member saves you, and exclaims "You were almost a Jill sandwich!" There was another great one, where he is offering you a lockpick, and says "Here's a lock pick, it would be better if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you" but that one didn't seem as amusing.

Because it became a house rule after biting into a John Deere model carefully placed in a roll nearly ruined a tooth.

I'm embarrassingly organised

Mine was nabbed from a chalk board I saw outside a pub in Bristol on the day the old bitch died, written in the style of Thatchers Gold.

Alas I am the owner of two short fat hairy legs, just like Ernie Wise (deceased English comedy legend). www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/culture/2008/dec/14/ernie-wise-statue-morley

UndomesticHousewife · 02/06/2018 00:15

Because I'm shit at cleaning.

Zaphodbebblebrox · 02/06/2018 00:26

Thatchers Cold brilliant! Grin
Mine's because someone already had Arthur Dent (Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy)

My brother who I lost 3 years ago to suicide.
I have a love for dinosaurs and he bought me a stuffed Dino Teddy from the natural history museum for Christmas. He wrapped it up so odd 😂 but the tag had dinorawr on it.
Ah, I miss him :(

In difficult times, all I need to keep me going is a bit of light at the end of the tunnel
God knows it's hard to find sometimes

PringlesInTheFlySpace · 02/06/2018 00:33

Mine like others is a reference to a previous thread. To this day I don’t know if anyone knows what the fly space on a bus is!

CadyHeron · 02/06/2018 00:34

I've been here ages and namechange quite a bit, but this is my latest that I've had a while now.
A character in one of my favourite films Smile

PavlovianLunge · 02/06/2018 00:35

Mine was from Holby City (highbrow, me) when Zosia and Ollie were cranking up the sexual tension, and she said something about him making a Pavlovian lunge. It also makes me think of dessert, although I don’t like meringues, the squeaky bastards.

Next name change will be a misheard lyric.

UnlawfulBannanaPeeler · 02/06/2018 01:06

Because I’m treated like a criminal by my dc’s if I peel a banana in front of them 🙄

Sometimes I peel them in the kitchen and tell them these ones came without skins because someone always ends up taking a bite of the peel Grin

vodkaredbullgirl · 02/06/2018 01:17

isnt it obvious lol

AlliKaneErikson · 02/06/2018 01:58

My new one is not very exciting (3 of my favourite Spurs players). I’d never be able to disclose what my old one meant, I’d be too embarrassed. Some are so clever- loving this thread!

LookAtThatCritter · 02/06/2018 02:01

I live in a southern US state and we call our creatures critters 😁

Unicornsandrainbows3 · 02/06/2018 02:20

Mine reminds me of childhood and my children. It's hope I guess. I'd actually like to change it but can't remember my password.
