Pirlipina?

Pippi, the cup runneth over concept scared me as well.

TheMysticMasseuse · 19/05/2009 21:36

franca a pity you're already taken as you would be my brother's soulmate... marco pisellonio, pure genius :-)

is it unfeminist to hate the word vagina? (Penthe would have views i am sure)

Brangelina · 19/05/2009 21:37

DD sometimes uses farfallina, which I suppose has a certain logic. I think she got that from school.

Brangelina · 19/05/2009 21:38

I've always hated the word vagina - or how it's pronounced in English anyway.

TheMysticMasseuse · 19/05/2009 21:38

the other word my mum told dd1 is Jolanda (i suppose from litizzetto?)... honestly, when i was growing up my mum was so abbottonata she was almost a nun, and now in her old age she's becoming scurrile...

francagoestohollywood · 19/05/2009 21:41

. Is your brother a squallor fan? I love them

Pirlipina, not great, but my nonna invented it, so it stuck. Vagina I prefer it all'italiana, than vagiaina.
I have a friend, with erre moscia, very fine who tells his dd "pulisciti la fessa" which is incredibly rude, but I find it hilarious.

TheMysticMasseuse · 19/05/2009 21:44

he LOVES squallor!! well if you ever fancy cheating on your dh...

la fessa e' orribile!!!

DamonBradleylovesPippi · 19/05/2009 21:44

yes dh is english and we came up with the name fifi one summer evening smoking cigarettes outside and we never looked back. sometimes dd1 when she watches fif and the flowertots says 'fifi... like FIFI!!!'.She does love her fifi actually.
we were not so fantasiosi with willy because it's the minority ...

TheMysticMasseuse · 19/05/2009 21:44

ok ok i really need to hit the sack as i have an 8.39 meeting tomorrow morning... notte

TheMysticMasseuse · 19/05/2009 21:45

8.30, even...

Brangelina · 19/05/2009 21:46

Wow, what a precise time! Do you all have to synchronise your watches too?

Brangelina · 19/05/2009 21:46

Ah, x-post! I though you might be a pilot or something.

DamonBradleylovesPippi · 19/05/2009 21:47

hate vagina too, both in english and italian and always worried about the feminist connotation too. I don't like pisella (my auntie used to call it) nor any I had heard before so we made it up.

DamonBradleylovesPippi · 19/05/2009 21:48

btw anyone seen 'the vagina monologues?'
'tis a great play/show.

francagoestohollywood · 19/05/2009 21:49

pisella is horrible

DamonBradleylovesPippi · 19/05/2009 21:58

thought so! hated since I heard it as a child. shame the lack of nice names. Since we discovered fifi we all like her more .

emailed you btw.

DamonBradleylovesPippi · 19/05/2009 21:58

off to bed.

francagoestohollywood · 19/05/2009 22:09

have replied.

good night

Camomilla · 19/05/2009 22:34

uh, no, have missed you all (DD was in escapologist mood tonight, the great escape and the shawshank redemption all in one, must lower the bed base tomorrow)! but you've made me laugh sooooooo much (especially the pisello's towel incident, couldn't stop laughing for ages)

Anyway, here it's pisellino and farfallina

was thinking about the mirena, can't do pill anymore (tried so many, but one got me suicidal, others just made my periods 3 wks long nearly). Mooncup, thought about it after reading a couple of threads on here, but not sure yet, especially after DD not sure I could use it anyway.

right, back to download pics from old old mobiles, so tedious as I have to do it bluetooth way and one at the time!

Oh, I wish you were right about the friends, but there are many things that have gone on, so unfortunately it's not the distance thing , never mind

Camomilla · 19/05/2009 22:36

ah, pretty much free for meetup!

gio71 · 20/05/2009 05:52

thanks brange-woke up in a bad mood, just read towel incident and wet myself laughing. Am now feeling quite chirpy

TheMysticMasseuse · 20/05/2009 06:55

brange i told my dh about the pisello towel last night and we almost wet ourselves laughing. priceless!!

i had to tell you before i rush off for my 8.39 8.39 meeting

francagoestohollywood · 20/05/2009 07:46

Camo, sorry to hear there's more to it . It is awful when things change in a friendship.

I'm here cause I'm being extra efficient this morning and sent directions to dd's party etc

Has anybody got a safe, simple recipe for chocolate cake? I want it fluffy... tia

Hello everyone! Eeeek, missed out on 20-odd pages again! Mustkeepup!
But now that I'm here I shall launch straight into my Mooncup tale! Ever heard of a do-it-yourself hysterectomy? Well, that was what it felt like....Boy did I panic...I got it up, just couldn't get it out....And can you imagine here in the back end of you know where, even attempting to explain what exactly it was I'd got stuck up there should I end up in pronto soccorso???? £17 down the drain, so to speak. I can't bear the idea of tampax anymore either (something to do with episiotomy methinks) and so have reverted to jolly old granny style STs. (am just a sex bomb, me)

Almost finished at the Scuola Media and been told there probably won't be a course next year as the bidelli are refusing to come in in the afternoons (and sit at their lovely beach table in the school garden under their lovely umbrella with their iced drinks bought over from the bar ) They send 1 bidello per class in the afternoons (and then everyone complains that there isn't enough money for istruzione and chunks of ceiling fall on children's heads....) Pah! Teacher was gobsmacked when I said we didn't have bidelli in the UK (I don't think we do anyway.) She said "but who cleans the boards? Who does the photocopying?" (nearly had to take her to pronto soccorso when I told her that the teachers tended to do it.

So, long story short, I shall probably be unemployed again after the summer....probably for the best at first as of course we have the whole elementare thing to buttare giu'.

Is anyone in Rome? There's someone on a thread worrying about having booked 3 days next week in the middle of the Champs League final....

Bucharest · 20/05/2009 08:02

PS I don't like the word vagina either. T'is why I don't do (((()))) these as vaggies always spring to mind.
