I said that to the nursery nurse the other day i did feel a bit daft saying. i suppose it was better than telling her he took a shit in the loo

sockmonkey · 13/05/2010 21:24

you are not alone.

doughnutty · 13/05/2010 21:25

Just us then. My DH thinks I'm a loon. But I can't help it. Am giggling while I type.

My DP and his sister refer to the hall in their mum's house as the 'back passage' it always has me sniggering quietly ... it took me about a year to admit to them why this made me laugh.

ASecretLemonadeDrinker · 13/05/2010 22:16

and "do do"

BertieBotts · 13/05/2010 22:18

My cousin, for some bizarre reason, was always taught to say "duty" when he meant poo. So he would talk about doing his duties in the toilet (when he was being PT) and so ever since then I have a little snicker every time someone talks about doing their duty.

I bought petrol today at pump 2 and very nearly sniggered after saying "Number 2 please" to the check out man.

bibbitybobbityhat · 13/05/2010 22:20

Feel the same way about the word helmet

Valpollicella · 13/05/2010 22:22

I snigger at work when I get asked if we have any more 'gusset' envelopes

I watched Jeremy Kyle this morning, I love to see how the other half live, and he said to a guest (used in the loosest possible term)

"so he came in your back door".......

I kid you not, I snurked 'til I was blue, as did the audience.

I am a child.

I find all things toilet "back passage" "number 2" "do-do" chuckle fodder.

I'm sure I'll be flamed shortly.

Salbysea · 13/05/2010 22:24

I knew an adult who used to whisper "number twosies" in reference to poo - she didn't have any kids so it sounded really weird coming from an adult

and yes, I snigger when anyone says "number 2", especially if I can see DH sniggering at same in the corner of my eye

chesgirlNOTgriffins · 13/05/2010 22:25

When I worked for the RSPCA an elderly woman phoned up and asked for help because.....

There was a cock in her back passage

I would like to report that I maintained a professional composure.

I would like to....

I had to explain to my DS why I sniggered when I saw "The Last Mimzy" DVD in the library.

TheCrackFox · 13/05/2010 22:29

I would never be able to wear a "pearl necklace". I am so immature.

Stinkyfeet · 13/05/2010 22:29

A colleague and I completely lost it on a training course recently when the trainer kept referring to "big jobs"!

Salbysea · 13/05/2010 22:31

and every time supernanny says "follow through" snigger

chesgirlNOTgriffins · 13/05/2010 22:38

I once spent a whole evening kicking my OH under the table because my boss kept refering to 'my pussy' .

It was funny though.

Valpollicella · 13/05/2010 22:43

Che,

Wouldn't have been able to hold it together either

The sentence 'Can I take you over....' just makes me giggle. IE 'Can I take you over that pile of documents that we printed earlier?'

My DH was filming some students working as part of his job. He wanted to point the camera past one of them so he could see their work for the video. He asked them:

'do you mind if I come over your shoulder'...

I had to leave a work presentation in a fit of giggles when a manager referred to "lubricating the passage" [of a Bill through Parliament].

I am 34 years old.

larks35 · 13/05/2010 22:58

I think YABU, it's not "hilarious", just a bit twee. No offense meant though I always say poo.

Shodan · 13/05/2010 23:00

American militery films always have me sniggering.

All that talk about doing your duty and wearing khaki pants.

I had to explain to DH why I was chortling- 'They're talking about doing their doody' (snort, guffaw) and they're wearing cacky pants (tears of laughter).

The effect was somewhat lost because DH didn't know that 'cacky' meant 'pooey', but he was kind enough to laugh anyway.
