To ask if you like these so called ‘Prosecco Jens?”

[FarFarAwayTrain]

I could explain but I think all you wise ladies of mumsnet know what I mean !!

This thread made me laugh so loud I woke my ten year old up (sharing a bed. Bloody holidays!)

My sister Jen already ruined the name Jen so Prosecco Jen doesn’t phase me. They all must be better than her.

Peak Mumsnet 😂

Yes EXACTLY!!! You’ve nailed it !

Glass of vino with this one !!

So you want to sneer at women who post about liking wine? I’d rather have a Prosecco with them, they’re probably a laugh while you don’t sound very pleasant.

I like prosecco.
I also like the name Jen.
But, yeah, wine o'clock etc is a bit dated.
I'd wonder if "Jen" was an alcoholic, tbh.

I often post about having made a cafe latte, typically iced with accompanying pic. Please don't start a thread about me. 😀

Why specifically Jen, though?

😂😂😂😂

Brilliant.

I can just about tolerate Prosecco Jens. However, I know two women called Emma who drink Prosecco and I hate both of them like poison.

Oh no, the latte Louises have turned up…

Viola Vodka was also a bust, though I tried!

Whiskey Walt and Bourbon Bradley would probably catch on better.

I know exactly the type you mean op.

Awww prosecco o'clock hunnies....wot r we lyk hey?!

My hubby is my world

I think you've missed the mark, OP. Prosecco Pauline, Prosecco Penny maybe? Always go with alliteration if you want it to catch on.

Even though I hate the stuff, am suddenly feeling nostalgic for Asti Spumante.

I love aste spumante! We still have it at Christmas.

Are you trying to start something?

Woodpecker Rebecca

That rhymes (ish) - maybe that will catch on.

Never heard this term being used. Ever.
It isn't a thing so let's not pretend to perpetuate it.
I hate derogatory terms centred around female names - never happens to men.

The fucking patriarchy

So you hate all Jens? That is harsh. What about Juniper? or Wren?

If we're talking about the 'wine o'clock', 'mummy's little helper' type posts - can't say I look down on or dislike women who post them but I don't relate. Most people like a drink or two, no need to make it part of your identity, online or otherwise.

I can beat that.

The Huddersfield station cat, who has thousands of followers on Facebook always posts about pub o'clock on Friday afternoons (well his slave owner does) 😁

I think the point of this thread is OP trying to make it a thing.

😭

The only reason I enjoyed this thread 😂brilliant, well done!

Agree with most posters that you sound like you just want to sneer at other women. Not cool.

😂
Cheers!
