To think that chester draws isn't as bad as

'chester freezer'

I'm not defending chester draws, but at least I can understand how it happened.

I've just seen someone talk about their 'chester freezer' on Facebook. There's no excuse.

@OilBaron

I've recently been looking at chests of drawers recently and because I see 'chester drawers' on here so much, I actually have to stop and think which is correct nowadays

I genuinely thought the term was 'escape goat' until earlier this year. I thought it came from an old medieval saying when people who'd committed crimes would escape from a town on a goat. So an 'escape goat' was the poor goat who had to carry a big fat criminal on its back all through the countryside. I have no idea where I got the story from but I much prefer my 'escape goat' to the correct 'scapegoat'

OMG - I love this about the escape goat!

Best thing on Mumsnet today.

Back in December a frequenter of our local Facebook page was asking where she could get herself a reef.

Turns out it was a festive adornment for her door.

On the recent thread about Pontin’s I clicked through and read some of the Pontin’s reviews on trip advisor.

The word chalet was deeply underrepresented amongst a forest of shalleys, shaleys, chaleys, shallys, shallies and a shalee.

We went to pontins years ago when DC were small. They spent the week arguing about whether it was a 'compartment' or a 'department' . There was a sign on the swimming pool door there saying "no outdoor shoes who's aloud". DC asked if they could wear quiet shoes.

My personal favourite is when I get messages from the ex saying things like "R be late picking the boys up this week. R be there at 11".
It took me ages to work out that "R" meant "I'll".

@ExCoffeeAddict

On suite was one I heard recently which isnt bad at all

Play it by hear .... again close but...no

I honestly cannot stand when i see "draws" or "draw" meaning drawers or drawer sets my teeth on edge!!

When our house was built the architect sent us plans that included an 'on sweet' bathroom.

I had a friend at uni that thought Robin Hood carried a Bowen Arrow.

@CaptainMyCaptain I think it must be bon appetit.

Some of these are hilarious - bone apple tea took me a while to work out though!!

My favourite of all time was “barraco barner”. Gemma from Blackpool’s (UK) tweet cracks me up every time

I saw 'chester of drawers' the other day So near and yet so far

Oh my god! 😂😂😂

Oh god. Bone apple tea can't be a real one!!!!

@CaptainMyCaptain

Just got it! I got hung up on the tea part.

🤣🤣 well done

My ds at 3 would say “banana petito” in Italian restaurants:)

You know that noise people make when they come across something cute? How would you spell it? To me, it’s “Ahh!”

So it throws me when people on FB “arrr” or (even worse, “rrr”

“Arrr what a lovely baby” just makes me think a pirate is speaking.

How about carpool tunnel syndrome?

Laughing my head off at big fat criminal!!!

I saw "blime me!" On a Facebook post yesterday. I've been intermittently chuckling away to myself ever since. Blimey.

I recon a good 50% of the people in my town believe any is spelt eny.
