Haha, I will now read your version every time I see it!

Ticcinalong · 26/07/2018 07:20

It took me years OP, you are not alone!!

ThePrioryGhost · 26/07/2018 07:30

As they say, “potayto, potarto”!

PuntCuffin · 26/07/2018 07:32

I have always read it that way despite knowing what it was meant to be.

ApolloandDaphne · 26/07/2018 07:46

I used to think it was that too. I much prefer it!

WinterSunglasses · 26/07/2018 07:48

If the cap fits, wear it!

Elementtree · 26/07/2018 07:50

I thought it meant shitbrick ex. Grin

Rolypolybabies · 26/07/2018 07:51

I thought is was son of the bitch ex. Grin

Chelseajunior · 26/07/2018 08:02

Lol
What does LTB mean?
I'm probably being really dumb here Grin

Elementtree · 26/07/2018 08:07

Ltb = Leave the bastard.

AuntieStella · 26/07/2018 08:09

It's the joy of abbreviations.

I am always referencing to the DickHead in my life.....

EmmaSwann · 26/07/2018 08:18

Ha ha I read it the same way, too! I thought that's what is was for ages then found out the "proper" meaning but I prefer the first so still think of that when reading posts. Grin

0range99 · 26/07/2018 08:20

Actually your version seems much more apt given a lot of what I read on here.

Treaclepie19 · 26/07/2018 08:30

I always read it the same way too!

TheRoadLessRocky · 26/07/2018 08:32

Yanbu, I thought that and still hear it like that in my head when I read it.

Grobagsforever · 26/07/2018 19:00

Glad to know I'm not alone Grin

LittleLionMansMummy · 26/07/2018 19:03

Love it!

Awrite · 26/07/2018 19:06

First time I saw it written on here, it was explained as 'stupid bastard ex'. Just realising that was probably a joke. Grin

PoppyPopTart · 26/07/2018 19:11

I thought it was stab the bastard Grin . In my head I always refer to it as that. I also didn't know GP was grandparents and wondered why on earth children would be having a day out a the beach with their doctors Grin

BoogieFeet · 26/07/2018 19:19

Oops that was how I’ve been reading it too..

scolotti · 26/07/2018 19:21

I thought it was son of the bitch ex husband Grin

MrsMrsMrsMrs · 26/07/2018 19:21

Same here. Mind. Blown.

Grobagsforever · 26/07/2018 23:13
