to be p****ed off after snooping...

[sweetaddict]

Yes i went on his msn messenger after a stupid row and discovered him talking to mate in horrible bloke way about me - having 'the painters in'... And more oi oi blokey stuff. Are they all still fifteen years old or what? Grr.

husband chortling in the manner of an overgrown schoolboy and planning to use the "dancing round the cotton wool pole" one at the pub ......

I am worryingly sad enough to have discussed this thread with DH last night. He was amazed at some of the expressions for periods .

As I thought he would (a) be unlikely to discuss my periods with anyone and (b) would refer to them as periods .

[MaryAnnSingleton]

aw Duchess - forgot about you being a nork - no offence !

[Vikkin]

We just stick to 'don't come anywhere near me I have my period I will attack'.
He might refer to my chest as 'tits' and I may reply 'don't be so infantile, they are breasts'.
Then I will go and phone my gf and say 'yeah, he's really getting on my tits tonight...'

[nooka]

I'm with Idris. Breasts and periods at my place. I'd be surprised if dh discussed my periods with his friends, but more because men don't in general seem to talk about that sort of thing. I remember his asking a guy at university when his girlfriends period was (there was some reason for this, but I can't remember what) and the bloke had no idea. dh was amazed. It's like that Seinfeld when one of the characters was asked what contraception his fiance used and he didn't know. Weird! I don't think you are unreasonable in beeing peeved, but you should watch out on the snooping side - you may find out more than you bargained on!

[yeahinaminute]

My DH (ex Lt Colonel - SHOULD be a gentleman - Sandhurst and all that ) refers to it as " Oh YIAM is up on blocks"

And as to my boobs - apparantly they're " a fine set of top bollocks "!!

So really I just shrug and quietly point out his inadequacies ......

[kindersurprise]

One of my friends used to say, "the red flags are flying today"

We have the painters in.

I don't think that DH would talk about me like that, and if he did I would not be happy. So, YABU for snooping, but not for being pissed at him

[TheDuchessOfNorksBride]

MaryAnnSingleton hates me

[Caroline1852]

I can't bear any word to describe those fleshy rotund things (2 no). I think I need therapy.

[pollywollydoodle]

boobs and no room at the inn here

[lisasimpson]

and it might not necessarily mean that there will be no rumpy pumpy if she's on the blob anyhow - or does it?

[onetiredmummy]

My mum calls them 'moggins'!

[nightowl]

i was shocked to find, when starting my current job, that quite often a male colleague can be heard shouting "what's up with you? is it pmt again? (no sarcasm)" to a female colleague. to which the answer will usually be "YES...so just dont f**k with me today".

to which, male usually backs down, shuffles a bit and carries on with his work.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

don't like norks one bit...

[escape]

Caroline 1852 - heavy period comment
barnsley because they play in red, as in 'the reds are at home this week'

[pyjamagirl]

my house aunt flo visits once a month lol

[AbRoller]

boobs/breasts/tits - depends who I'm talking to and period is 'my flowers' No idea where it came from just something we all used as meaning period when we were younger.

[heifer]

Boobs and on my period in the heifer house...

[IdrisTheDragon]

Is ours the only MN household where the phrases "breasts" and "having a period" are used?

Have no idea whether DH discusses my periods with anyone else - don't think he does, but it can hardly be that surprising that I have them.

[sweetaddict]

I have Aunty Betty to stay lol. But perhaps she has taken up painting as a sideline..

[HuwEdwards]

It's 'bazoomas' and 'on the blob' here...

[heifer]

Can I have that one framed F&Z - I don't often get that on MN....


although to be fair - the response was from DH mate, so DH could have been moaning about PMT etc...

[FrannyandZooey]

LOL heifer was right

[sweetaddict]

It wasn't so much the reporting of the 'painters' but the response following it... rephrased: 'oh so you won't be making love to you lovely girlfriend tonight then'..
And yes I am very very ashamed for snooping, and will solemnly promise never to do it again. maybe.

[FrannyandZooey]

It seemed obvious to me that he would be blaming the argument they had on PMT, or complaining about her being moody
