What exactly is a crepey?

[INeedThatForkOff]

I'm sure it's been asked time and again but I just did a quick search and can't find a clear answer.

Are you crepey of skin, or crepey of fabric? Need to know.

So pleased you've asked. I don't know but marking my place.

Same here. I always skip those threads as I don't understand what crepey means but then I feel left out as everybody seems to be in them!

We are crepey of skin, particularly the wattle. The thread started years ago when 'women of a certain age' started moaning on about the trials of middle-agedom, such as gunts, jowls and hot flushes. And it's just gone on from there! Come and join us (only if old and decrepit - no sprightly young things please!)

I assumed it was a spelling mistake that turned into one of those 'in jokes'?

herb your explanation has just made me even more confused .

Ah thanks Herb,

I though it was pastry. Think I'll go back to sleep....

We is well peng old boilers birds over 40, innit?

We can take over and spend the next 1000 posts defining what exactly a crepey is!!!

Oh and if this is going to be home for a bit (plumps up cushions, and settles down) can someone link to two venues for next Friday with times extra o if I can make it I don't have to scroll through loads of pages to find info, but have it on page 1 of thread.......pleeeeeasssse :)

What is a gunt?

It's the bit of fat that hangs over your C section scar. Or the bit of fat that just hangs over the top of your legs if you are fat and didn't have a C section.

BD, I'll PM you

Merci :)

Sorry are we just here, taking over, or are we somewhere else???

Not sure I can settle under this thread title. I may have an existential crisis every time I click on "Threads I'm On".

Re: explaining what a crepey is - I could just post a link to a photo of my neck and that would explain everything. (sad, but true)

I have an S&B query. Why are these so cheap? What is wrong with them? Are they just too last year or something?

Hmmmm, maybe they just don't look very good on? Worth a try though for that price

Lostinindia - you can google 'gunt' for clarification, but you'll need to bleach your eyeballs afterwards.

Funny...I thought gunt was a typo for grunt - think I'll give Googling that a miss, thanks for the warning.

< marking place........>

Think of a cross between gut and, well, you know....

I have a crepey gunt, but I'm 35 and gave birth three months ago so I'm hoping to be guntless later this year (naive).

I'm glad I asked though, because whenever I notice a crepe dress online I think I ought to buy it because there's a whole MN quiche devoted to it.
