I am willing to be told I am unreasonable, especially as I am not a newbie but I have heard this phrase and not been sure what it means?

I have deduced today that it is not a hamlet or village in Dartmoor or somewhere like that. and it probably is not a name of a romance novelist or celebrity chef.

I fear it may be something rude! Blush

“He was so fit, my fanny got the gallops”

In that context it means when your vagina seems to take on a life of its own around an attractive person. Like a tingly gallopy feeling 😂

Fizzy fanny

Or as we say in this neck of the woods: "the fanny flutters"

Very vulgar

Minge quimbles is what we say in my house

LaCarmencita · 27/10/2018 20:44

minge quimbles I LOVE it!!!! Thanks TinyTwat I needed a giggle.

Thanks everyone for explaining- Now I know. I had been carrying in my head up until now a weird image of minges on horseback. I KNEW of course it wasn't that, but my head is not always the sanest and most sensible of places.

totally vulgar.

There’s a time and a place for vulgar.

We call them Fanny Twongs.

Like when your bits have their own pulse and you come over all unnecessary.

It's minge twinge in this house

AiryFairyUnicornRainbow · 28/10/2018 09:50

Ive never heard any of these phrases used outside of MN

I dont think they are vulgar though, quite the opposite, i think they are hillarious

Birdsgottafly · 28/10/2018 09:59

"I've never heard any of these phrases used outside of MN"

That always surprises me.

Only one I have heard outside of MN is wide-on mentioned by BoomTish

My what’s wrong Lady Pricilla you are as flushed as a beet auntie asked.

It’s the new boy in stables auntie isn’t he a pip?

Yes my dear, I saw him the other day and my bits got the Fanny Gallops, by the time I got back to the Manor I was frothing like a pan of milk.
