Explicit Kent!

[AnotherBrickIn]

Everytime Kent is mentioned on TV DH shouts “fucking Kent!” In a high pitched voice. I was telling my friend about it and how it drives me mad and she said her brother does it too but she doesn’t know why! Is it a thing?? AIBU to find it really bloody annoying?

No idea

Because Kent sounds like cunt? 🤷‍♀️

The obvious answer is it sounds like cunt?

ETA: But presumably you've both asked them why?

That makes sense

sort of

Has he watched Ted Lasso?
Could it be about Roy Kent?

It’s a quote from The Undateables (ch 4 tv programme)

Some kind of bizarre Pavlovian response? A joke hypnosis? Can you use this to your advantage? Long shot, but...

Oh yeah, MymblesMother has got it.

You can get tshirts and all sorts with it on.

I am so glad my DH has never seen the Inbetweeners, doesn't quote from the Undatables, doesn't make random Alan Partridge references, or basically do anything that is what I call "self-referential humour" (having to endless quote comics and then turn around to see if someone else knows the reference).

YANBU OP, that would get old for me quite quickly...

I hear there's a documentary about Cnut on soon 🤔😀

😂

The most annoying thing about this is that neither of you seem to have asked why they do it. Well, not annoying perhaps but definitely outright weird.

🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps he's familiar with Kent's truly awful record on dealing with children with SEND. The words "fucking Kent" are heard regularly whenever anyone has to deal with their SEN department for any length of time.

Yes I’ve asked him, he refuses to tell me! It probably is the undateables, he always used to go on about that 🙄
