My DD (15) and her friend were discussing my DDs new 'Chester drawers'! Only on MN have I seen this ungodly term used 🤣

Nothing I say will convince them that it is a chest of drawers. The latest argument from their camp is;

'Well, drawers come up on Google when you type it in. They just have six'

I need power behind me to convince them and to stop the cringe everytime the word is uttered. Please help me tell them its not a Chester drawers...

Well, drawers come up on Google when you type it in. They just have six'

What does this mean?

Chester draws, surely.

Or Chest o' drawers, perhaps.

AriadnesFilament · 03/02/2020 21:46

Tell them it is a CHEST full OF drawers

Hence chest of drawers

AriadnesFilament · 03/02/2020 21:49

Or tell them to search the furniture section on argos or any other online retailer and see if they can find any ‘chester’ drawers

Since they’re so good at googling 😉

It is a chest of drawers. It always has been until people mangled the word.

I think you’ll find it’s Chester draws 😂

FlamingoAndJohn · 03/02/2020 22:06

Well it looks like a chest, that you would open from the top but it has drawers, so it’s a chest of drawers.

I guess they go nicely with the famous Chest of Field sofa

I work in online content and deliberately put in common misspellings as search terms so that morons will find a chest of drawers for sale when searching for undergarments in the city of Chester.

TriangularRatbag · 03/02/2020 22:18

Why waste time trying to correct them?

EmeraldShamrock · 03/02/2020 22:26

Haha they'll know in future, you've saved them years of embarrassment.
It sounds like Chester drawers they probably never gave it much thought as a teenager.
My DS sings Oh what fun "Awrist a ride" a one horse open slay hey.
My friend texts anal for in-all. I know in-all isn't a correct word though it is used often around here.

There's no hope 😭🤣
