What are the iconic MN phrases?

As local editor for a MN Local site, I am organising discounts with businesses in my area.

They can do this by starting a thread in local where they offer a special deal for MNetters.

I thought it would be good to have a MNetty phrase or word as a password, rather than just 'Could you deduct the MN discount please?'

So, you would walk into a shop, select what you wanted to purchase and whisper 'PomBears' to the shopkeeper. :)

Any ideas? Most of them are a bit naughty (such as Norks), so they might not want to use them.

hahaha

Perhaps not what we want to tell potential advertisers. We won't see them again, that is for sure.

Maybe best not to use 'Your post makes you sound like an arse and here's why'
either.
Hairdressers - MN haircut.
Food shops - River of sweetcorn.

Nest of Vipers is excellent!

Yes, I love the idea of linking to a type of shop.

The shop I am thinking of sells interior design and gift ware. Wonder if I can persuade her to have the secret code, 'Do you sell twigs and pebbly shit?'

(is that the right quote?)

We could use Penguins for a discounted zoo visit.

Or Wankbadgers, but it would have to be a zoo with a great SOH.

Bunfight for a bakery is great.
