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 !!

My kidz R my wurld hic

or is this more what you were going for OP - the moral outrage? Women's behaviour has been policed forever.

I feel like these could all be me at various stages of the night... singing my heart out thinking that I sound like Celine Dion, laughing at all the hilarious jokes I'm telling, 'till finally doze off with a half empty glass at half mast and in danger of dripping all over my lap.

Fun times!!! 😁 🥂🍾

I have asked DH his opinion, as an exemplar of the breed, as his name is Jens
He is grudgingly accepting of being called a Champagne Dane but Prosecco Jens is a bridge too far in his opinion. I have offered Homebrew Hun as an alternative but he maintains I am being somewhat historically inaccurate

Exactly!

and if you were making shit yo why wouldn’t you at least go with

Prosecco Pam’s, or Penny’s or Paula’s. Hell if she really wanted to put the cat amongst the MN pigeons she could have gone with Prosecco Persophone’s.

but Jen…?!

Are they going on holibobs too?

Can’t believe nobody has pointed out that Prosecco jeans are any shaped sparkly jeans

Are proseco jeans the new barrel leg jeans?

Are you more of a Nosecco Nancy OP?

Soon there will be an acronym for each of my entire friendship group from school.

Well, the women anyway. Are there no stereotypes about Steves or Simons? No? Thoight not.

No. I’m more of what Private Eye magazine would call a ‘Deirdre Spart’

Yes I called someone. ‘Right Steve’ back in 1977 - he worked in a shop and had a sleeper earring in one ear

Very likely

@FarFarAwayTrain

Did you get picked, sis?

Me too.
She is such a lovely, considerate woman as well, quite hippy and makes her own jewellery which she has now had to change the name of (From Karen's Gems). She had to make a, absolutely worthwhile and much needed complaint, at a hospital a few months back and she ended up not doing it because she 'Knew what they'd think now' 😞

Hmm My name is Jen, I do like Prosecco but it wouldn’t really be my drink of choice, and I don’t use Facebook. Also haven’t drank alcohol since December 2024 as I’m pregnant, but I don’t particularly miss it.. is my name the next female name to get made fun of? We’ve had Karen, Becky.. now Jen :(

Nails shops are criticised for what?

Although I think your last point about women and men using social media is probably quite accurate.

Chin chin! Here's a Bombay Sapphire lovey🍸. Don't drink it all at once, otherwise you may come over a little Sir Hartley Redface (oo er)

Where have you heard this expression OP @FarFarAwayTrain

I haven’t it’s something I came up with

What a Tyler

Wasn't he that bloke from the Peasants' Revolt?
<gets coat>

Why though?

Then why call them ‘so called’, if the only one who calls them that is you? 😂

Wot?
