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!

Came across a corker yesterday. Someone was buying some soft furnishings to gimp a room. Nope, me neither

Maybe they wanted to mask something? 😂

Cattery · 20/06/2025 09:49

The mind boggles 🤣

Velor, vasiline and a vintij gimp! The holey trinnity of interia seduckshun 😍🔥🛋️

Saw 'as rare as hens eggs' on here today, although I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and assume that was just an absentminded malapropism.

presumably meant ‘pimp’, though I’ve no idea how that equally (arguably more) unsavoury term ever came to mean ostentatious adornment of interior decor, food etc.

Cattery · 20/06/2025 14:28

@ErrolTheDragon Yes. Both awful words with questionable meanings

Spotted on a thread: ‘This might be the crooks of it’
This is definitely a new one on me. I’m thinking ‘crux’?😅

thehorsesareallidiots · 21/06/2025 10:29

Spotted this morning: "I'm worried about whether the school will be supportive and neutering".

Ouch.

Another belter. Someone has Irritable Bowl Syndrome.

The image that has conjured up in my head🤣🤣

Bollocks to that.

TheFifthTellytubby · 21/06/2025 12:14

Honestly - some of these gaffes are enough to leave you feeling utterly morifted! 😈

Morifted | Mumsnet

Cattery · 21/06/2025 12:29

@Pedant5corner It could’ve been worse; she could have been motrified

Pedant5corner · 21/06/2025 12:45

@Cattery , you need to explain that one for me.

Cattery · 21/06/2025 13:09

@Pedant5corner Just another mash up of mortified 🤣

Pedant5corner · 21/06/2025 13:21

I think motrified is a straightforward typo but morifted is something else.

Cattery · 21/06/2025 13:43

indeed

I’ve just bought some new pitchers to hang on the wall

Pedant5corner · 22/06/2025 11:35

This is a typo but I thought I'd share it.
On my local freebie site:
Squirrel proof bird feeder for nits or solid blocks Weathered but functional
Floor feeding tray for blackbirds etc

Cattery · 22/06/2025 12:08

Bless. The nits can have their own feeder.
