Would love to find mine again - it was about Liam Gallagher and I'm pretty sure it was in a thread about the Ariana Grande Manchester concert. A poster said he has been wearing that anorak since 1993 and he won't feel the benefit.

Can't really say why I love it so much but it still makes me laugh out loud and we often quote it as a family, like when teen ds wears his coat at the dinner table.

"You ARE the Christmas Carcass!"

So ridiculously random!

Feathery stoker is a Marian Keyes phrase. Great woman.

Mine was on a thread about someone accidentally receiving a really aggressive text from someone at church. Someone smugly reminded us that actually Christians could be awful because even Jesus whipped the traders out of the temple. Someone replied: 'yes, but did he whip them out of the temple while calling them rancid cunts?'

On a baby name thread someone had asked about the name Elaine, and one of the replies was 'Perfect if she comes out as a 50-year-old doctor's receptionist.' I was in stitches.

BirdieInTheHand · 07/04/2019 17:12

"Are you on glue" is from mean girls or clueless. So definitely not original to mumsnet.

Cakeisbest · 07/04/2019 17:17

I like ‘Fuck off to the other side off fuck and when you get there, fuck off a bit more’.

Canadian thread. It does not make sense now as posts have been removed.

You’re a carcass!!

GunpowderGelatine · 07/04/2019 17:24

Someone the other day, on a thread about what a ninny Alexandra Burke is, called all the posters racist and said she was going to report them to "all the Facebook groups and the local council". She was deadly serious. The comments that followed were hilarious, sadly MN zapped the thread shortly after

Alsohuman · 07/04/2019 17:26

Someone said the other day “Has someone left the gate to the cunt field open?” I confess I sniggered a lot.

alwaysreadthelabel · 07/04/2019 17:26

Snapped and farted for me from recent times. Just the sheer anger of the poster in the post and the sheer indignant behaviour that she then had that everyone laughed.

GunpowderGelatine · 07/04/2019 17:26

Oh and "YOU'RE THE CARCASS" Grin

Polarbearflavour · 07/04/2019 17:33

“We went to the Sistine Chapel the day after and I ended up screaming at the MichaelAngelo.”

😂

DuggeesWoggle · 07/04/2019 17:35

The woman who meant to refer to her toddler as a whiny tinker while in a doctor's waiting room but instead called him a tiny wanker Grin. Still makes me chuckle GrinGrin

ShiveringCoyote · 07/04/2019 17:45

Someone used the phrase He should be shot with balls of his own shite about Nigel Farage and now I think of it every time I see his face.

TarquinGyrfalcon · 07/04/2019 17:49

I loved “she’s a cunt for the butter” and “UCM, is that you?” After a name change fail.

Pigletpoglet · 07/04/2019 17:51

@pallisers spoony fucker too - it was the first thread I ever read on MN and it's still my favourite...

Rolypolybabies · 07/04/2019 17:51

Cancel the cheque

WordsFailMeAgain · 07/04/2019 17:55

Snapped and farted had me hooting, not the actual thread really just, like a PP, it was the randomness of the OP and that she didn’t even intend it as a joke then continued replying and basically ignored the fact everyone was pissing themselves

YAmILikeDis · 07/04/2019 17:56

OP that line is my favourite too, I howled for an embarrassingly long time at that

ChestOfFields · 07/04/2019 17:58

I use the phrase 'cunty chops' quite often, but the phrase that has helped me most (and usually stops my DC arguing back at me!)
Is (in regard to woman )
It's more than just a word!

Mine was on a thread about toddlers getting things wrong, one mums story was that she was stuck on the loo with no toilet roll but her young toddler was there and right next to the shelves out of the mums reach so she was desperately trying to describe to the kid what she wanted and to bring her toilet roll to her, toddler concentrated so hard to get it right but wondered off and brought her back a plastic banana, so the mum tried again as the toddler was practically touching the toilet roll, so he wanders off again and very triumphantly came back with... a banana on a plate. It really tickled me, it’s not that funny reading it back tho...

Shouldbeworkingnotreadingtalk · 07/04/2019 18:02

"He cleans himself after sex using the bedside PENIS BREAKER"... 😳... WTAF.

YourVagesty · 07/04/2019 18:03

from 'dropped a plate behind the loo'.

It's just perfect and summed up the tension everybody was feeling Grin

Abouttoblow · 07/04/2019 18:05

On a thread about clothing purchases/hair styles not living up to expectations, one poster (I think she'd had a pixie cut and her hair dyed red) described herself as a fat match. Another had bought a sequinned jacket and said she looked like Lionel Blair.
The whole thread was hilarious. Think it's in Clssics.

Luglio · 07/04/2019 18:08

God, yes. 'Suzi Quattro's fat nan'.
