AIBU to ask DH to wear underpants?

299 replies

Ever since we've lived together my DH has always enjoyed relaxing around the house with just a t-shirt on and no under garments. We jokingly refer to it as 'Donald Ducking'. Now that we've had a baby (six weeks ago today!) I think it's time he started wearing under crackers around the house. It just seems more appropriate. AIBU to ask this of him?

A what?! Armani tell me that isn't true,please! Even in ancient times they didn't 'free flow'.

I haven't read all the thread, but just chipping in to say that at Burning Man this practice is known as 'cock shirting' and is highly frowned upon.

ShatnersBassoon · 05/09/2014 21:17

Where's Burning Man? Is it like Birmingham?

CheeseBored · 05/09/2014 21:23

It's a big hedonistic festival in the Nevada desert.

CheeseBored · 05/09/2014 21:24

actually, I am wrong, it is 'shirt cocking'.

ShatnersBassoon · 05/09/2014 21:27

Ah, it sounds a lot like Birmingham.

PacificDogwood · 05/09/2014 21:28

'cock shirting' Grin - that's a thing? With an actual name??

Free flow sounds messy

Beastofburden · 05/09/2014 21:53

Aaaarh to free flow. Why would you? Just, why?

OTheHugeManatee · 05/09/2014 22:05

Shirtcockers. Click at your peril

PacificDogwood · 05/09/2014 22:09

Manatee, no way - I was not born yesterday Grin

My OH used to to do something similar wearing his boxers around the house after work, ( it was the 1990's). He was cured of the this the day I forgot about this state and ushered in the finance chap who had come to see us!!

I've just read this whole thread and fml I'm crying GrinGrinGrin

SistersOfPercy · 05/09/2014 23:28

Have you never heard of the limp bizkit album 'chocolate starfish and the hotdog flavored water'?
That took some explaining to my naive teenager I'm telling you Grin

Naked humans should sit on towels.
You can't lick your own arse or genitals and you need more fur to cover your naughty bits.

Chuckthefucklebrothers, obviously you did not note my earlier inspired post suggesting the term "FreeFoofing"

Can't see it catching on. FreeClunging? FreeWizardsleeving?

"The thing about free bollocking is...you have to gonard or go home"

This little gem is courtesy of DH. Worryingly.

sandy1969 · 06/09/2014 10:37

I shouldn't worry, the baby will grow up and he will stop. Plan for a new couch in around 2-3 years.

BigChocFrenzy · 06/09/2014 11:02

< admires "freefoofing" - the word itself, not the dirty deed >

KateSMumsnet · 06/09/2014 11:42

Every day working at Mumsnet is an education. I can't believe there was a time when I didn't know about Donald Ducking.

We're going to move this to Classics.

iamdivergent · 06/09/2014 12:09

Love this my DH says it's weird

mamalino · 06/09/2014 12:19

Classics! I might whip my keks off and celebrate with an afternoon of fannyflouting!

Pipbin · 06/09/2014 12:37

CLASSICS!

Pipbin · 06/09/2014 12:41

This thread has reminded me of this picture.

Beastofburden · 06/09/2014 13:24
