to still be giggling over my GP calling condoms....

...'The Sheath'?

It was over six weeks ago, and I was visited at home by the GP after the birth of DS. He enquired about birth control (being the fifth HCP to do so), and I told him we would be using condoms. 'Ah,' he said, 'the sheath'. DH and I couldn't even look at each other, and collapsed into giggles as soon as the GP left.

Every time I think about it, I still smirk/giggle a bit. AIBU?

That's funny re. BlackBerrys thingiebob - we always refer to the trackball thing as the clit

TrillianSlasher · 21/10/2009 21:10

Is your GP 80?

BarbaraBlacksheep · 21/10/2009 21:28

Sheath is such a fab word. As is Schlong.

Thingiebob · 21/10/2009 22:27

Septimus - lol!

Classic. Am going to try this on my patients tomorrow and see how long it takes to make one laugh.

UnquietDad · 21/10/2009 22:41

Reminds me of Alan Partridge. "I have some sheaths."

anonymous85 · 21/10/2009 22:44

Gross lmao!

lisad123wantsherquoteinDM · 21/10/2009 22:46

do we have the same GP?

GoppingOtter · 21/10/2009 22:51

we offer ds sheaths when he goes out - he declines of course ( good boy!)

moondog · 21/10/2009 22:58

In my youth, everyone referred to them as 'rubber johnies' which I never hear now (not that i mix in such circles as are discussing contraception regulalry in any case).

Frrrightattendant · 22/10/2009 07:59

I call them johnnies.

I nearly called ds2 Johnnie but my mother made a face so thought better not...

Tee2072 · 22/10/2009 08:31

Huh. Must have been sheath in the UK version of Forever. It was most definitely rubber in the US version!

It was, however, also Ralph...

mollyroger · 22/10/2009 08:37

we always used to call them jollybags

UnquietDad · 22/10/2009 09:08

Always "rubber johnnies" in my school. You never hear that now.

whichwitchisthis · 22/10/2009 09:22

dh calls them John Doms lol

Littlepurpleprincess · 22/10/2009 13:17

Me and DP call them 'hats' because at secondary school, in the nurses office was a very funny poster of a picture of 3 condoms with little smilie faces and said 'don't forget you hat!'. It's hilarious when you are 14....

LadyOfTheFlowers · 22/10/2009 13:19

In response to OP, I am in stitches at sheath!!
I'm actually in pain!!

TheDevilEatsBabies · 22/10/2009 13:27

littlepurple - i remember that too!
it was really funny seeing the willies as "people" with faces and hats on.

(unless it was slightly different but still the same idea...)

Littlepurpleprincess · 22/10/2009 13:40

thats the one! Why did they think that was a good idea for teenagers, we just laughed!

TitsalinaBumsquash · 22/10/2009 14:01

DP calls them 'Jackets' because my mum told him 'never to go into the wet without a Jacket on'

They are rubbers round these parts, i would have sniggered at Sheath especially as one of the GP's at our surgery is called Dr Sheath.

NorbertDentressangle · 22/10/2009 14:01

When I was a youngster a friend's little brother was called Jonathan, or Johnny to his family.

We used to call him Rubber Johnnie for a laugh until the day he went and asked his Dad what a Rubber Johnny was. I think he got a right telling off as his Dad just thought he was trying to be a bit cheeky but the poor kid really had no idea what he was asking

moondog · 22/10/2009 14:48

'schlong'

OMG, I feel sick.
