Following on from discussions about manflu and POYT -

[JanH]

what words or phrases would make you think you might be talking to or eavesdropping on another mumsnetter? I think twonk would do it for me

lentil-knitter

norks

norks maybe

norkage

IMO. I often want to say IMO instead of 'In My Opinion' or 'I think' Dh/ds/dd/MIL would pretty much confirm it for me too

Oh yes, I always want to say DH,DS...

Boden

Definately norks.... and snurk.

No, "Boden" then a would be a dead giveaway.

Oh god yes, Boden apparently out of the blue - good one, mmh!

also..... 4 and parp

Definitely snurk and norks and any use of DD, DS, DT, DH etc etc

but "manflu" is a universal term though. It's a bit like bird flu, only worse.

anyway the best giveaway phrase is "yes it's iccream in her hair. home made icecream" that one is (c)prufrock.

I'd be wary of anyone who has veg boxes delivered as well.

Hairy lorry driver
Troll
ds,dd
ifywim
any mention of cod products
ffs

I know it is, SP, but someone took it as a MN indicator this week, which is what was making me think about it! (\link{http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1375&threadid=159772&stamp=060329143053#3348052\here})
