There was a thread a year or so ago called 'Competitive Northernisms' or 'Northern Top Trumps' or some such, that was just a bunch of us northern MNers competitively firing northernisms at each other. It were great (see what I did there?) Would you be able to extract it from the Chat archives and put it in here, or is it really and truly dead?

An oldie but a goody I thought, lots of funny things in it, I especially loved the claim that carrying a bottle of water around meant you were obviously pregnant because pregnant women drink a lot...

There was one about TOAST catalogue models that was really funny until it suddenly turned sour. I cannot find it anymore so assume it was on Chat. I am pretty sure the name of the thread was just "TOAST".

I nominate this one:

Can we have a thread about ways in which your partner initiates sexual intercourse

Was this one of the original jack-russelling threads?

IncontinentiaBotox - nevergooglegarlicbutter or Garlic in my bottom.

heQet · 14/01/2010 22:28

Way back but there was a wind up thread about a MNers husband who had a fantasy about kitchen equipment. Thread title was "well it's just not normal is it". Was way back and I laughed myself silly.

PurpleEglu · 16/01/2010 15:28

Definitely the garlic one

caramelwaffle · 21/01/2010 23:17

The eagle has landed.

Perhaps not classic, but an honorable mention

This thread has some funny stuff, some raw stuff and some jaw dropping stuff. It demonstrates the diversity of MNers!
