WIBU to believe that anyone wearing a ring on their Peter Pointer finger is a weirdo and a hippy?

It’s weirder to refer to the index finger as a “peter pointer”!!

RubyLux · 03/07/2018 11:05

True.

YANBU. It's Ruby Ring for a reason ;)
Toby Tall is less unacceptable for some reason.

Thank you Puddock!
No need to discuss this further. 😃

I'm just glad I'm not the only one who calls them Peter Pointer, Toby Tall and Ruby Ring. Grin

If you are a royal it is acceptable to put a signet ring on Baby Small........seems a bit unfair to weigh down a baby with a hunk of gold, but hey that's the upper classes, never care about the little people.

MN is weird sometimes :o

I knew Peter Pointer, but never knew the others had names.

I wear a thumb ring, what's the thumb called?

RubyLux · 03/07/2018 11:32

Viques - also if you're an old-style lesbian. Which I nearly am.

Toby Thumb, or hipster thumb if you put a ring on it Grin

Thumb ring is Tommy Thumb. Also quite dykey once upon a time. But ordinary now. We're not special and different any more. (Lesbians, that is.)

gawd thumb rings and multiple ear piercings, lesbians get it all! ;) :o

viques · 03/07/2018 11:58

rubylux lesbians don't care about the little people either? I am shocked!

CaptainCabinets · 03/07/2018 12:01

Aww, my Reception teacher taught our class this song in Welsh and I still remember it 20 years on Smile

Anyway

MS Home Slice, it's a nursery rhyme finger game to play with little children.

Tommy Thumb, Tommy Thumb,
Where are you?
Here I am , here I am,
How do you do.

Repeat with the others Peter Pointer, Toby Tall,Ruby Ring, Baby Small

The last verse is
Fingers all , Fingers all
Where are you
Here we are Here we are
How do you do.
