Mum's the word.....

[Bbbananas]

Why not Grandad. Or Godfather?

[snagged]

Or Grease ;-)

[zzxxee]

or aunt bessie?

[Bbbananas]

What about 'flap' ?

[daniela31]

The future is Orange.

[snagged]

Banana

[Bbbananas]

I know Zac - so do I.
But why, at my age, when the word flap is mentioned, do I have to contain my hysteria?

[Bbbananas]

snagged: I also like banana ;-)

[wonkon-wonk]

i don't like the word ....vagina ......arghhhhhhhhhhhh

[snagged]

I bet you do sallabananas...

[Bbbananas]

Gherkin?

[Octavius]

Originally I think it was meant to be �hmmm� or �mmmm�, generally the noise you make when you want to say something but say nothing.

Shakespeare wrote, �Seal up your lips and give no words but mum�

So nowadays we say �mum�s the word� because, as we all know, mum knows best.

[Bbbananas]

Gawd blimey - my mum doesn't.
If she had her way, I'd be married to a ginger haired boring impotent accountant and living in Swaffham by now... ;-)

(His name was Tim. He wasn't dim. But...)

[Octavius]

I don�t know any poor accountant�s, you would have been a kept woman!

Admittedly you may have had to redirect his bestial proclivities every now and again, but think of the house, the car, the holidays, and the money!

Are you sure about your mother? I think she had your best interests at heart Lady Chatterly.

[Bbbananas]

Oh I'm sure she did really.
But, I married a farmer.
Oh well, s*it happens...
