Lucy slang for Condom?

Dh and I were thinking about Lucy for our baby but my mum says in her day it was slang for condom. I've never heard of this and I'm wondering if she's making it up because she doesn't like the name. Anyone ever heard this used as a slang term?

Never heard that!

No.

Lucy is slang for drugs though. I know 3 Lucys aged 25, 30 and 98! All lovely.

What? I've never heard of Lucy being slang for condom! It's a lovely name - use it if you like it!

FluffyEggsontoast · 24/08/2020 13:22

Never heard of this

Love the name Lucy though. Underused classic

Unseeliequeen · 24/08/2020 13:32

Utter nonsense.

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - Beatles song, meaning LSD.

But with so many girls, women called Lucy around, it's not the first thing anyone I know would think of.

And I've never ever heard it as slang for a condom.

Perhaps your dm has got confused. Mine used to call my dd's DocMartins Doctor Whites.

Nope, I wouldn't worry about that

I am a 32 year old Lucy and have never heard that its another word for condom in my experience. I have had Lucy in the sky with diamonds sung at me a few times but i can't say it ever had a detrimental effect.

CaptainMyCaptain · 25/08/2020 10:18

I'm 65 and have never heard of this.

LittleGwyneth · 26/08/2020 12:14

Aquamarine1029 · 27/08/2020 00:50

Your mum doesn't know what she's talking about.

sorryforswearing · 27/08/2020 00:55

Never heard of that and nothing on google either.

ncdtoday123 · 27/08/2020 01:09

Never heard this before - I think it's a load of rubbish!

Bouncingbelle · 27/08/2020 03:04

Never heard that before.

Lucy is gorgeous & refreshing to hear whilst still a classic!

Saltyauntiepoop · 27/08/2020 03:09
