On a local selling page:

"Chabby Chique bedside tables".

@MissyGirlie it would have gone lovely with a "leather poof ".

Someone on MN apparently recently had the "auto-correct", "off the beat and track".

An almost 40 year old family friend wrote "trickle treat guys!" on Halloween on his FB page, it wasn't a joke! I also read a few posts on here about Trickle Treating.

Josie Gibson, whilst presenting This Morning, definitely said "WALLA!" recently.

My parents never got over an ad in the back of the local paper for a 'Three piece shite, VGC'.

🤣🤣🤣

'Head Chog' .....🦔 It still makes me laugh regularly

Softdressesandblouses · 10/01/2025 22:10

Strangers it may sound (just seen on another thread)

I'd only ever seen "Chester Drawers" copied and posted elsewhere once so wasn't sure if it was an urban myth until this week.

A local Woman has set up a business as a "Handywoman" and was proudly showing off a Chester Draws that she had put together on her SM page.

Dinning chairs and a massage couch currently on my FB marketplace, plus a variety of draws, obvs.

MyDeepZebra · 10/01/2025 22:19

Another MN one I'd forgotten...the poster who was very worried about her Virgina.

There was also the poster recently who was furious that the Midwives turned up ANNOUNCED at her house. Of course, they were "unannounced".

I thought the same until I saw a woman n Facebook say she’d don’t aged putting together the nursery furniture for her unborn child including a ‘Chester drawers’

My friend emailed me today to want me to make sure that the builder I am about to employ is 'bonified'.

I had to read that twice.

lolly07766 · 10/01/2025 22:21

Someone I worked with once texted in to inform us that he had Noomonia 😆

“It has don don me” is one I saw recently in a comment section of an Instagram post.

It took me a little while to work out the poster meant “it has dawned on me”

😀😀

Purplecatshopaholic · 10/01/2025 22:23

My friend posted a pic of a ‘cheese lounge’ (chaise longue) being advertised the other day. Fake ad or not, I don’t know, but I shall be lounging on one eating cheese from now on,,,

getahhtmapub · 10/01/2025 22:24

Not quite the same but dinning table gets me in the gut

Shortpoet · 10/01/2025 22:28

Wasn’t there a neighbour letter on here in the very distant past where he had written “in the fasinate of your bin” instead of “in the vicinity of your bin”
(As if it was pronounced fas-in-at-ee )

Eyresandgraces · 10/01/2025 22:28

An elderly neighbour told me that her friend had won a bottle of liver free milk on the raffle.
Took me a while to realise it was Liebfraumilch.

I once saw an advert for a piece of furniture described as "shabby sheikh".

gano · 10/01/2025 22:30

What are you incinerating?

DUsername · 10/01/2025 22:30

Rest bite has featured more than once on here!

TinyMouseTheatre · 10/01/2025 22:30

Our local newspaper once had an advert for "Coy Carp". Not much point in buying those ones, you'd never see them Wink
