To ask for a round up of all the little MN in-jokes?

[faithinthesound]

Mods, feel free to delete this if it's not okay!

I've been here some months now, and I've noticed a lot of little in-jokes around that come from old threads, some of which are in Classics, etc. Usually when I come across a reference that I don't recognize, someone is kind enough to explain it to me (and sometimes even link the original thread!) but I thought it might be nice, and kind of fun, to gather together as many as we can in one thread!

I'll start. The one that always sticks out to me is the one about the Mexican house thief. That's from this thread.

The other one that had me in absolute stitches was the saga of Sharon, the wasp, and the wine that never reached the carpet, which starts here, and apparently continues here with someone "t-rexing in the Asda"... Hysterical, I tell you.

I'm really hoping some long-time MNers will be along to link to such joys as "cancel the check"; "pom bears"; "Maui"; and the one where everyone MumsNetted as their toddlers :D

(I'm sorry if this is against some unwritten rule. It's not REALLY a thread about a thread, it's a thread about a lot of threads...)

Lemon drizzle thread

I have been a lurker on here a long while. Please could someone explain to me the concept of MN Bingo. It is a term I see often in threads. apologies if explained already. I haven't RTFT

Whats penis beaker all about?! Someone?! Anyone?!

I have only just joined MN so this thread is brilliant!!

I have just lost around 3hrs reading only the first few threads! 😳 poms bears is most excellent. 👍

Not read all this as I lost a day over in classics rereading anyone mentioned fat balls. I cannot see fat balls without laughing anymore 🙈

I was coming on to say that the fly seat on the bus had me in stitches, but someone has beaten me to it. Giggling away to myself as I type just thinking about it.

Another good one was the Doctor Dawn thread. Why do these people think that anyone else has a clue what they are on about? They are batshit.

I wasn't your minge.

Blue baby was washable pens from Poundland. Although someone else did do the colourfast top thing as I remember introducing them to the miracle of Swarfega.

Fake tanning the baby (can't remember Millay current username) was CLASS.

Also Spoonyfucker origin

Are we allowed to mention New Years Eve?

Generic or specific NYE?

The specific NYE the site went down.

The one where the op mistakenly called her child a 'tiny wanker' instead of a 'whiney tinker'

No that's like fight club. We don't talk about that NYE

tamara - MN Bingo is just a sarcastic way of identifying the tendency for certain stock responses to crop up in answer to a given topic.

So, if someone starts a thread about a child having difficult behaviour, then sooner or later a poster will come along to suggest they might be autistic. - TICK!

Difficult MIL? "Classic narcissist!" - TICK!

How do I tell my friend I'm not doing this? "No is a complete sentence" TICK! BINGO!

That's what I thought. I could see a ban hammer being swung in my direction.

Oh dear god NYE!

I can remember most of these but some i'm bookmarking to read later.

Your minge! still cracks me up!

And the naked panpiper in the swimming pool changing room. Cannot for the life of me remember the thread title or subject. I imagine it's in Classics somewhere.

No, I'm Angela Hernandez!

Unfortunately the OP's posts have been removed from the AH thread (please correct me if I am mis-remembering) but in summary she introduced herself at a meeting as AH, which was not her real name and was actually the name of someone else. The thread was awesome.

I am SO upset right now. I'm reading Gluezilla, and everyone's posting poem-response suggestions, and I have the BEST ONE, and it's too late!!!

Would anyone mind if I posted it here just to get it out of my system??

TheDuck - you missed the best bit - not only did she introduce herself as AH, the real AH was at the back of the room, and may even have piped up at that point "actually, I'm Angela Hernandez!"

Post away!

I think Angela Hernandez was in the room but it was someone else who pointed out that she wasn't AH.

Penis beaker and tiny Korean lady aren't very funny, sorry. But the one about things people say during sex had me crying with laughter.
