OK, I know it's a really easy mistake to make. It's just that every time I read this - more and more frequently - my mind conjures something like this. Enjoy!

Yesterday a post about a relative medalling in their OP’s home. No mention of a podium or national anthem though.

Surely they’re exatturating

The old 'battering an eyelid' has always given me a very peculiar mental image indeed.

I was thinking about this thread earlier when a friend told me she’d been gIven a sorbet in a restaurant as “a pallet cleanser”.

😂 Wonder if the sorbet was served on a scrubbing brush?

@GarlicStyle If it was, surely the restaurant would be closed down for missgross conduct

They probably needed to cleanse the pallets because they began their meal with horse doovers

GarlicStyle · 04/06/2025 21:52

Horse doovers! 🤣🤣

To be fair, Terry Pratchett gets the credit for that one.

Careful you don't step foot in it!

I'm really feeling the loss of the laugh reaction! It'd be very tedious to keep quoting/tagging with a grin, so please know you are all VERY FUNNY, SPAG WITS, and much appreciated 😂😄😘

I hope it doesn't exasperate your mental health, @GarlicStyle

Cattery · 07/06/2025 09:54

I’m having new flooring fitted. On the quote I was given, the price includes “taking up the exiting flooring”. Do you think that’s the bit by the front door as you leave the house?

TheaBrandt1 · 09/06/2025 13:34

I have had an email explaining my last free cleans had not been charged and three debits taken from my account. Confusing but think I’ve worked it out!

Gotback · 09/06/2025 14:06

My nephew says he's been running around like a legless chicken. He's a lazy sod so this might actually be true.

I was sure someone must've done a cartoon about that - but this is the nearest I could find 🤷‍♀️

Seen on a thread that there is no mystic to what solicitors do any old fool can do it.

TheDevilWearPrimarni · 10/06/2025 23:30

As seen on two threads yesterday:-

  1. It’s a mind field.
  2. He’s got a viscous mouth on him.

Your second example brings us neatly back to the OP. It's a viscous circle!

butterpuffed · 11/06/2025 15:09

Some say a viscous cycle. I had one of them, it was a penny farthing but dew to the cost ov living it's now harf a shilling .
