What things?

PestoSurfissimos · 01/01/2019 17:02

Woggles

I assume you’re going to elaborate op, and not starting one of these oh-so-funny random threads before disappearing forever Smile.

I think she must mean the swimming things. I call them woggles

newplacenofriends · 01/01/2019 17:05

I'm assuming you mean swimming woggles (and they are woggles not noodles)

Firesuit · 01/01/2019 17:05

I know what a noodle is, and what a woggle is. I don't know what "these things" refers to, so I can't enlighten you.

OlennasWimple · 01/01/2019 17:05

Woggles are the things that boy scouts use on their neckerchiefs

Noodles are the things that you eat with Asian food, or use in the pool to help you swim / float

IncyWincyGrownUp · 01/01/2019 17:06

If you mean the giant bendy things you see at the pool, they’re noodles.

Blackladybug · 01/01/2019 17:06

She's on about the swimming pool things, the swim noodle thing you can wrap around you. it's actually called a woggle #teamwoggle

PoutySprout · 01/01/2019 17:06

A woggle is what scouts use to hold their neckerchief son

A long cylindrical piece of foam used as a floatation device is a noodle.

BikeRunSki · 01/01/2019 17:06

You mean the long cylindrical floats that children use in swimming pools?

My DC’s swimming teachers have used both terms over the years.

Otherwise

woggle - ring that Scouts do their neckers up with

Noodle -boiled eggy dough strands, often eaten with east Asian food

LittleAlbatross · 01/01/2019 17:06

Woggles.

I've always known them as a woggle but I've seen lots of US based articles refer to them as pool noodles.

DramaAlpaca · 01/01/2019 17:06

Noodles & woggles are two very different things.

kmc1111 · 01/01/2019 17:07

Woggle was first, but noodle has become the more popular name for them.

Both names come from the brands that originally made them, so really neither is correct unless you’re using one of those brands.

Escolar · 01/01/2019 17:07

If you mean the swimming aid, I'd say woggle.

Bamchic · 01/01/2019 17:07

People have recently (last ten years) started calling woggles the American “pool noodle”
They are woggles.
Noodles are what I order from the chinese...

Firesuit · 01/01/2019 17:07

Or maybe I don't. In my world a noodle is something you eat and a woggle is something a boy scout ties his scarf up with. I see a swimming float is an alternative meaning for both words, so that seems more likely.

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 01/01/2019 17:07

Woggle. I was a swimming teacher and we called them woggles

BathTangle · 01/01/2019 17:07

The first one I had had a label saying "Tundra Noodle", so I'm with you OP.

VanessaShanessaJenkins · 01/01/2019 17:08

Team noodle

Troels · 01/01/2019 17:08

Woggles are the things that boy scouts use on their neckerchiefs

Noodles are the things that you eat with Asian food, or use in the pool to help you swim / float

I agree totally with this post.

WitsEnding · 01/01/2019 17:09

I know they are sold as woggles but usually call them pool noodles - woggles are for Boy Scouts aren't they?

ScrambledSmegs · 01/01/2019 17:09

They're noodles, I agree.
