Celeb Traitors #3. The big dogs vs the cat, banshees, farts & what Claudia wore next.

[CarefulN0w]

Carrying on with the love for the two Joes.

would you not be irritated if the state broadcaster of a neighbouring country, with an official pronunciation unit, persistently mispronounced ‘Prime Minister’ and ‘House of Commons’?

Seeing that you asked I really wouldn't care.

My dictionary defines 'banshee' as a term used in Ireland and elsewhere. So not necessarily a solely Irish word.

In any case, if us Brits started pronouncing words in the same way as Irish people do, we'd be accused of being insulting and taking the piss out of an Irish accent.

I'm glad Ruth's gone. I found her quite unpleasant. She only seemed to have nasty things to say about people.
JR needed/needs to move on from the 'allies' comment though. She was right about that, and, whatever he said and even if CB was also involved, it shows him as a liar or at least unreliable.
Cat is playing a blinder. Such a cool customer. Alan's 'silliness' and campness is becoming a great strength. It's interesting how everyone recognised that killing Ruth might be a double bluff, but not the idea of Alan killing Paloma, his best mate.
I'm sick of all the fawning over SF. Clare and Nick also have Cambridge degrees; they just haven't made them about 90% of their personalities.
I can't decide if MB is insecure and nervous as hell, or actually very competitive, and the competitiveness is coming across as twitchiness and nerves. He seems quite thin-skinned. He also dresses like Man at C&A, God love him.
David is disappointingly boring so far. Maybe he'll get his moment later on.
The two Joes are a natural comedy double-act; I love them both Joe M is particularly smart, I think, although seems to be forgetting about his own 'big dog' theory, which is a pity.
Celia is a goddess. Her fart in the cabin, and how she and Claudia responded, was the highlight of the whole thing so far for me. I kind of wish she was a traitor.
Love Charlotte absolutely bossing the singing/banshee challenge.
Kate isn't really earning her place at the moment IFAIC.
Lucy: quite funny talking about how short she was compared to SF, but otherwise another slight non-entity. Maybe she'll also get a moment later on and reveal herself to have a bit more substance?

I'm loving the two Joes too!
Really hope it's not Charlotte who goes, I like her in this.
Can't remember who else is in the firing line for murder?

It's Charlotte, David and Kate.

Just the 28 hours to go!

Going through a really tough time at the moment, this is the highlight of my week!

Thanks @LittleBitofBread 😊
Out of those 3 I'd like to see Kate go; but I am enjoying her overreacting.... there's been a Recruitment!!! before any traitors were even found.
I just think David has more to give, but I guess it wouldn't make much impact (to us anyway) if he goes.
Really want Charlotte to stay.... which usually means she's a goner.

I’m sorry to hear that, I hope this thread and Celeb Traitors is helping to distract you from the tough time

I went to see Kathy Burke at the theatre tonight, she is loving the traitors, said she wouldn’t want to be on it. Also she’s good friends with Mark Bonner and said that’s this exactly how he is normally, all drama and wild gestures.

That’s even worse. I can’t bear people who shout and bang stuff over the smallest thing. Puts me on edge.

Agree, it's a way to exert dominance.

Just catching up on uncloaked. Can’t believe how many people don’t know ding dong bell pussy’s in the well. I don’t know what people are learning in schools these days 😂

Sending you un-MNety hugs and strength

Parents stopped teaching it when porn and swearing became the definitive socially acceptable idioms. I still remember cringing when I was out with my children in central London and saw a fried chicken stall called Motherclucker, but I doubt anyone would think it weird now!

I can't remember who was in that group but anyone over the age of 40 would surely know the rhyme.

I never knew a banshee was Irish (or Scottish). It’s a word that’s been used around here for all my life, but just for a ghost. And around here it’s pronounced like banksy.

Thank goodness it’s finally on tonight!!!!

They won’t blurt it out in a group for the reasons I’ve outlined, unless they are over 70 and haven’t noticed that even children now would hear the old “Mrs Slocombe’s pussy” joke as a single entendre.

I'm well over 40 and had to really think about it...

Ding dong dell
Pussy's in the well
Who put her in?
Little Johnny Flynn
Who pulled her out?
Little Tommy Stout
......

Then I got stuck and had to look out up!

What a naughty boy was that,
To soak poor Pussy cat,
Who never did him any harm,
But scared all the mice in the farmer's barn.

I really can't figure out the banshee sounds like Banksy thing. Also it's like all the pronunciation threads on here - as it really depends on how you pronounce Banksy!

Mind you I didn't notice Claudia saying it wrong (yet being irish, it seems from this thread I should be offended by how she did!!) I say it like the M one in this Foclóir link

Can't be an unknown word outside of Ireland or Scotland as there's been things like Siouxsie and the Banshees and there was even an Enid Blyton book with Banshee in the title!

Been think way too much about banshees recently- I left for work this working (about an hour or more before sunrise) and was creeped out by every shape and sound. So if I don't post again you know what's happened - it's been fortold.

Oh come on, Celia didn't 'blurt'. She knew EXACTLY what she was saying and that it was naughty. Mischief was all over the screen!

Roll on 9 o’clock so we have some thing more interesting to talk about.

I haven't double checked but for anyone interested, banshee comes from bean (ban) meaning woman and sí (she) meaning fairy... so not very scary. But Claudia put the emphasis on ban and Irish speakers put it on the -shee.
I'll say no more but some of us find these things interesting lol
No idea why some of my text is underlined.

Love this
