Heard Justine today on Front Bottom

[ipanemagirl]

With Radio 4's handsome Mark Lawson! Good appeal for the poor poppets without the night whatever it is. My ds too old for me to know!

There's a tv show called Front Bottom ? Or is it a radio show?

when i read the thred title i though she was discussing the age old problem of "what to call girl's bits"...hence she was discussing front bottoms....

Oh, fine, pmdw, be reasonable and logical. Fine. See if I care.

she obviously wasn't talking about that. i just thought that in a 'trying to be funny' kind of way.

(i mean what kind of person would actually use the term 'front bottom' anyway?? )

Front bottom.

Cringe.

FFS.

must be a north american thing expat. cause i really really really hate that too!

Aside from the fact that the term makes absolutely no sense, it's just so silly it's ridiculous.

what on earth is this thread about?

thank you

oh no mistake, we always call 'Front Row': "Front Bottom" in our house for reasons of domestic comedy only.

But I do like mumsnet to be featured on my radio station of choice!

I didn't realise Front Bottom was offensive to some people - genuinely! Is it so offensive? We only use it about that programme principally because Mark Lawson is so pompous and calling it 'FB' is our way of responding to how full of himself he is! I didn't mean to Offend!

It's not offensive.

It's just ridiculous.

have just read back -
Expat's told me off!!!
yikes!
(runs
for cover and abandons thread...............)

Some peoples' little girls here say vulva.

I prefer 'lulu' myself, but 'front bottom'?

Naffotastic!

Well I knew what you meant, and yes, I think it is funny.

Fanjos are funny.

I've got an iron on patch that says 'Penis'.

People think it's funny.

probably we have the same sense of humour but I thought it was quite amusing it is just the sort of juvenile joke I like.
I still call it kaleidoscope because I am OLD like the hills.
anyway, what was she talking about?
(BTW greensleeves hates MArk Lawson too, for some reason. I always find him quite congenial)

We call him 'Mark Pompous' in our house. Isn't that his actual name?
