AIBU to think not every toe has a name?

Amongst the thousands of coronavirus threads I thought we needed a lighthearted one, and this just had to be shared because I must know if anyone else is under the same impression as DH.

DH has just BOGGLED MY MIND by stating that every toe has a name. He was playing with little DD and saying “this is your big toe, this is your little toe” etc and when he came to her fourth toe said “this is your....wedding toe?”

What madness is this?

I only got a wedding ring for my finger when we got married so clearly I’ve been woefully (toefully?!) short changed and need to get this rectified with a bejewelled toe ring ASAP. Any suggestions on the design welcome.

AIBU to think he is stark raving bonkers? Or have I been leaving my toes wrongfully anonymous all these years?

The market one, the home one, the roast beef one and the none one. They all have names...

Knocksomesense · 22/03/2020 19:56

Ps I voted you are light heartedly unreasonable Grin

rosegoldwatcher · 22/03/2020 19:56

Of course they have names! Market, Home, Roast Beef, None and Wee!

rosegoldwatcher · 22/03/2020 19:56

Sorry - X post!

Surely they're all little piggies and the big one went to market (the market or toe), the next one stayed at home (the home toe), roast beef is the next one, none or no toe is the fourth one and the wee toe is the little one?

Hallomother · 22/03/2020 19:56

But where does the wedding toe come in?
And is the big toe just called 'big toe' while all the rest have designated titles? Hardly seems fair. In fact it seems toe-tally unjust if you ask me.

Sorry, cross posted with the others!

Stick with your link, OP, you are due a diamond engagement toe ring, plain wedding toe band and eventually a gem-set eternity toe band.

what was your DPs names for all five toes?

VivaLeBeaver · 22/03/2020 19:58

HAllux
Long toe
Middle toe
Ring toe
Little toe.

rosegoldwatcher · 22/03/2020 19:59

According to Mrs Google the big toe is the hallux. No particular names for the other though...

Soubriquet · 22/03/2020 20:02

Yep

Market
Home
Roast beef
None
Wee wee wee

For the toes.

And

Tommy Thumb
Peter Pointer
Toby Tall
Ruby Ring
Baby Small

For the fingers

TerribleCustomerCervix · 22/03/2020 20:05

Surely it’s-

Big toe
Second toe
Third toe
Fourth toe
Little toe

Also- how come we have a name for thumbs, which are surely the big toes our our hands, but not a big toe?
