yanbu.
i'm guilty of having a juvenile laugh at the unfortunately named news readers on "newstalk" radio station over here in ireland.
and i mean everyday. it's like everyday i forget their names and then when they say them i remember and smirk.
fwiw their names are juliet gash and elaine hussey

Marthasmama · 29/04/2009 11:33

I have a little snurk to myself at stay'n'play when the (male) organiser is leading the end of play sing song and tells us "show me your bobbins" for "wind the bobbin up" Gets me every time

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 29/04/2009 11:42

I work for a telecoms company - they are always going on about dongles here.

You get some great lines in meetings - "No, we want the software built in - we don't want the engineers having to play about with their dongles when it's busy"

PlumpRumpSoggyBaps · 29/04/2009 12:13

Two things....

Darby in Disney's Winnie the Pooh- says 'slap my cap' when they're about to get sleuthing. Just sounds vaguely seedy to me (and DH)

And always, always, when an American soldier-type on telly refers to 'khaki pants'. Has to be the American accent, you understand...

Tortoise · 29/04/2009 12:14

I have laughed at Nina Nanaar too.

Also can't help but laugh at 'Alternate route of entry' said on a channel 5 quiz advert normally during Neighbours!

risingstar · 29/04/2009 12:23

My one is SMEG fridges, just COULD NOT buy one!

in the quango where i work, someone actually came out with "we have our members at the heart of all that we do". i have to leave the room sometimes, this has entertained me for 10 solid years though, so i must be vvvvvshallow.

LackaDAISYcal · 29/04/2009 12:58

I always chortle at Neena Nannar as well but I have a comedy name too so it's not my place to mock really.

As an engineering student then structural engineer I have had to endure 15 years listening to talk of hand held vibrators, poker vibrators, erection sequence, partial erection and tender submission..........can be quite cringey as the only woman in a classroom/meeting room full of men

PortoPandemico · 29/04/2009 13:01

I always liked "flange" when in the engineering department and had a "power vibrator" calendar.

SoupDragon · 29/04/2009 13:01

I remember having to phone IT support at work once to say that my dongle wasn't working. IIRC I was asked to wiggle my dongle to ensure it was inserted correctly

LackaDAISYcal · 29/04/2009 13:03

snigger at flange. I'm sure I must have made phonecalls to contractors to tell them the width of my flange

browntrout · 29/04/2009 13:05

when I lived in north London there was a hairdressers with the sign 'models wanted for thermal tongueing'. Much sniggering by me I am afraid!

PortoPandemico · 29/04/2009 13:11

Daisy - I bet they enjoyed chatting about your flange!

Grease nipples is another goodie!

Grumpyoldcaaaaaaaa · 29/04/2009 13:14

I had to talk about 'flanges', 'coupling' and 'erections' in my job too, I miss the sniggerfest with the other lasses now I'm on ML.

MarmadukeScarlet · 29/04/2009 13:26

I used to help out at a friend's (of my parent) company during the school hols, I was always being asked to get male and female nipples (like big plastic poppers) from the stock room .

I was only 14 and shy when I started and used to blush like mad when all the factory lads used to watch me get them.

bleh · 29/04/2009 17:13

Lackadaisycal: I feel your pain. Land law was particularly amusing. I remember this HAWT guy in my class telling me beforehand "I think it's really immature the way some people snigger in class" and then, unsurprisingly, I was sat next time him and nearly in hysterics everytime the tutor mentioned prohibitions on erections. Snurk.
