to ask about the birth of MN speak

I've been around a little while now but not since the dawn of MN time.

I often wonder - who awarded the first MN biscuit, do they preen every time a new one is awarded and think - there's another of my biscuits.

Then there's CF, GF - I figured those out.

And other references crop up where the rest of the thread nods sagely - the moudlies, Mexican house thief, Korean cleaning lady and strangest of all - penis beaker. No clue.

The last ones you have mentioned are threads in ‘Classics’. The giving of the biscuit makes me cringe a little.

We still cant talk anout the moldies without vitriol breaking out, I think. It eas an invitation only breakaway forum for the self-appointed MN elite. Much rancour all round.

I cant temember the details of mexican house thief. The Korean lady turned yonwith a picnic to watch her son dismantle a shed the OP was selling and stayed all day. Much v British awkwardness around how to respond.

It's elderly Korean lady.

Unless there's more than one Korean lady?

Penis Beaker was the least funny thread ever and attracted some strange people here from the Daily Mail. It was about makeshit bedside ablutions.

Classics is worth a poke about in. Penguin bollards was funny and so was the super soaker thread.

I have no idea how that started but someone said once it was inspired by Gordon Brown refusing to answer the biscuit question. (“No comment”.) Might be true 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gordon Brown's we chat will still be there to view. Most of these things are in classics.

No-one mentions SIOB any more Sad
Think that was coined by Chaos?

I thought you meant things like "naice" and "boak" etc.

I like Mexican house thief and old Korean lady. They make me smile each time I read them mentioned. Penis beaker not so much!

Gordon brown was asked what his favourite biscuit is. He declined to answer.

I love the idea that someone once said - I award thee a biscuit - and here we are years after Gordon Brown still giving them out.

I was poking around in classics and laughing my way through - shallow reasons we have dumped people - I wish that was still going. I have a lot of frogs in my past.
