The 'sayings' that were fashionable in school, stay with you forever

[FrankButchersDickieBow]

I remember a saying with school, that if you sneezed 8 times on the run, you would have an orgasm. I'm forty fuckin three and just sneezed 6 times on the run andi never thought 'oh I need a tissue' I thought, 'ooh another 2 sneezes and I'll have an orgasm' 🤣🤣

Nothing fact based please.

Just the sayings that went round in school that you kinda believed but were vvu!!

When someone said something at the same times as you, you had to shout "Jinx, you owe me a Coke". Never a Fanta or anything else, always a Coke.

Thursdays were lesbian days... If you are your pal were sitting too close, someone would comment on it being Thursday.

Opening crisps upside down is bad luck unless it's cheese and onion then you're supposed to open them upside down.

Oh yes the xxxx LOVES xxxxxx puzzle. I loved Andrew Ridgley 99% based on that!

We also had the piles / radiators one and the coke / aspirin one.

There was a rumour going round at school that someone ate a McChicken Sandwich at McDonalds and they asked for no mayo but when they bit into it, it had mayo inside that turned out to be a burst cyst from the chicken. I never ate one again (and that was 30 odd years ago)!

We also had a toilet ghost in primary school - the last cubicle had a slightly lower bit of ceiling so it was dark. She was called Annabelle and a few of us decided to try and communicate with her by writing messages on the walls... We got caught and had to scrub it off hahaha

Shag bands were a big thing when I was in early high school, if someone broke one of the black ones it meant you were going to have sex apparently.

Taking the labels off your drinks bottles meant you were sexually frustrated

For us it was 10; we were obviously repressed.

The story of the kid who looked at his maths GCSE and clearly thought "fuck this, I'm done with life" and shoved his two regulation pencils up his nostrils and then violently banged his face on the desk, forcing those pencils into his brain and killing him immediately

If you pick a guinea pig up by the tail, its eyes drop out.

I believed this wholeheartedly until the day I informed my 7 year old DS and he disabused me of the notion

My dad used to say that about hamsters. We had a toilet at our primary school that was the darkest, smelliest, nasty little hole.(to a 7 year old anyway). There was a very sad little girl there, probably severely autistic and it was called her toilet. If you used it, you would end up like her. Kids are foul. They were all grim loos anyway, I and several others contracted hepatitis from them. There was a fad for wearing thin leather bands around your neck. I wore one with a knot in each end because it looked better, till I was told by the cool girls that every knot represented how many times you “done it”. This was primary.

Sallie

Loves

Timmy

20011
2012
213
34% love

Ok I get the adding up bit. But I don’t get where you made 20011.

Sally loves Timmy

Sally = 20

Timmy = 00

Loves = 11

Did you miss a zero out or am I doing this incorrectly?

We used to fold up a piece of a4 so that you could put your fingers into the pockets and open them forwards and sideways (this is difficult to explain, so I hope someone knows what it mean . On the outside, were numbers. you picked a number then you counted and opened the flap and inside was a message. It was always some good and bad things like X (was always the most popular person at school) has a secret crush on you, or today you will pee your pants etc.

I did if for my dd during lockdown and she just gave me the look. Ok, was was 17, but still

BluePeterVag we did the apple stalk thing (I always got the same letter and my dh name starts with that letter-spooky!) and our ghost was called Mabel.
If somebody of the opposite sex touched you or your things, you got ‘the lurgy’.
We had a dinner lady we called grotbags (after the 80’s Witch TV character) and we were genuinely scared of her, we used to run away screaming. Poor woman.
Zen I remember the McDonald’s chicken pus story 🤢

@Mummyoflittledragon

There's 2 L's, 0 O's, 0 V's, 1 E, 1 S in both names.

2 ‘L’s in Sallie / Timmy
0 ‘O’s in Sallie / Timmy
0 ‘V’s in Sallie / Timmy
1 ‘E’ in Sallie / Timmy
1 ‘S’ in Sallie / Timmy

20011

That if you put your hand over the top of a boys dick when he was about to come it was really dangerous and his balls would explode

Then 2+0 = 2
0+0 = 0
0+1= 1
1+1= 2

2012

Then 2+0=2
0+1=1
1+2=3

213

Then 2+1=3
1+3=4

So 34% !

That boys think of sex every 7 seconds. That could well have been true!

More of an urban legend but...
A girl had a holiday remance with a guy she met in Ibiza. She lost her virginity. On the last day he gave her a little red box and told her not to open it until she got on the plane. She opened it and instead of a ring it was a note that said " welcome to the world of HIV". 😮 Our teenage minds were blown!

@FuckingFabulous was coming on here to write that one!

At our school you were a fridge, freezer or microwave depending on what 'base' you had got to.

When you're giving a guy a blowjob don't actually 'blow' or his balls will explode. (There might be some truth to that one - never tried it!)

[quote SleepingStandingUp]@SunshiningBetty what year were you there? I'm curious how long it persisted. 90s for me and yes, same school 🏫🤣[/quote]
WGHS? I was there from 1987. Think the impaling on the fence/penis is now the stuff of legend there

Oh! The story of a girl getting jabbed in the arm with a needle on a night out, but the needle apparently was attached to some sort of stamping pad saturated with ink and on her arm, next to the puncture hole was stamped "congratulations you now have aids"

We'd have overlapped briefly, they let boys IN now tho so I guess it's harder to convince the "top 10% in the country" that flimsy fence will kill them 🤣🤣

There was a rumour that the electronics teacher had a wooden leg. We spent every lesson trying to inconspicuously throw rubbers at it on the basis that if it were true, it would bounce off.

We were never successful so we asked the woodwork teacher. He confirmed this was true, and in fact he made him a new leg each year on the lathe for Christmas 🤦‍♀️

I bet a few of the older teachers who had been there years had a fit of the vapours when boys were allowed in I bet they were worried the girls would be hopping on the nearest penis rather than studying to be engineers
