Thanks Tesco. Dear Mum, happy Mother's Day, have some comfy PJ's and some self love. Who doesn't want to have a wank on Mothering Sunday?

It's wanking obviously.

@Gynaesaur

Whichever way you've interpreted it (and "self love" has been a pretty well established euphemism for masturbation at least since I was a teenager) , what an utterly shit thing to have on a T-shirt. Who buys crap like this? At best, it's the sort of thing you get if you've gone away somewhere and forgotten pyjamas.
The new millennial meaning is a hot bath, meditation and checking in. Im guessing that the younger posters here identify with this.

I'm in my 40s and it's meant a wank for a long time. Grin

It wasn't till ages later, oh the shame. She just winked at me and smiled and I was like "yeah I love it". 🤣

You know when you wake up at 3am alone with your thoughts? It's right there.

MurmuratingStarling · 14/03/2022 19:43

Yep YANBU. Even if it doesn't MEAN that, 'self love' does scream 'masturbating' IMO.

Get one delivered and ask the delivery dude if they do extras?
*obviously joking.

@ENoeuf

Self love - masturbation Self care - glass of wine and some space from the kids Surprised no one realised it had another meaning
Exactly!!
Cognoscenti · 14/03/2022 19:56

What a strange way to interpret that. 😂

ldontWanna · 14/03/2022 20:03

Go love yourself!

AnnaSW1 · 14/03/2022 20:04

Yeah that's not what that means

I would never think of self-love as meaning masturbation. To me it means loving yourself, accepting yourself as you are, etc.

I mean, I always love my husband. Sometimes I even love him sexually, but not constantly!

Anyone remember the movie How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days with Kate Hudson?

MacaroniBaloney · 14/03/2022 20:33

I must be 12 too as I think thst too.

SurpriseMuffins · 14/03/2022 20:41

Yes! I saw these as well and raised an eyebrow (well, both eyebrows as I can't raise just one) and wondered how the designer slipped that one in Grin

Nikolaus · 14/03/2022 20:42

Self love means loving yourself, as in being comfortable in who you are and feeling you are worthy of being treated with respect and kindness etc.

It's the opposite of hating yourself.

AllThingsServeTheBeam · 15/03/2022 07:31

@AnnaSW1

Yeah that's not what that means
Quite a lot of people disagree with you there
tigger1001 · 15/03/2022 08:44

That's what I would take "self love" to mean too op.

It's a long held euphemism, and certainly if someone said to me they were away for a bath for some "self love" I would assume they meant a wank and wonder why the felt the need to tell me 😂
