what does minge mean?

7:09 am

BzznBea

British slang for female parts

7:09 am

It's very uncouth slang for a lady's private parts

7:09 am

7:44 am

MollyL

Does jeesh have some dirty meaning like minge?

7:45 am

dan2bit

a VERY mild expletive, at least in our house.

7:46 am

MollyL

I love the two meanings of minge. A small, biting fly or the vagina.

7:48 am

donnasc6dogs

I always thought jeesh was a disguise for saying Jesus! taking the lord's name in vaiin stuff.

7:49 am

donnasc6dogs

one of my catholic friends always said "cheese and crackers' for Jesus Christ!

7:58 am

dan2bit

8:06 am

MollyL

The only time I ever heard someone say cheese and crackers as a curse was in the movie Delores Claiborne.

8:26 am

phaeton

8:31 am

MollyL

That makes more sense. Sounds the same.

8:32 am

hurshy

8:58 am

hokie carla

ruru getting to the root of the problem

8:59 am

9:18 am

hurshy

9:18 am

penquis

hard to believe that there are four pangrams today...

9:18 am

hokie carla

yeah, never would have thought of coffinette as being an actual word

9:19 am

hokie carla

yes, only found 1 so far, pen, but I couldn't believe it when I saw there are 4.

9:19 am

hurshy

i mean, i knew it wasn't an actual word but

9:19 am

penquis

i have two so far...

9:19 am

hurshy

i thought of lots of other ones that sound like they should be words

9:19 am

hurshy

like officient

9:20 am

hurshy

and notifice

9:20 am

hokie carla

ooh, found another. math related thanks to hurshy.

9:20 am

penquis

9:22 am

penquis

9:26 am

hurshy

9:26 am

hurshy

there aren't pangrams in the grid, that was a spelling bee conversation

9:27 am

rururocks

4 or 1 ou5

9:27 am

hurshy

the ou5 is from the upper one

9:28 am

hokie carla

Those are the 3 bottom o's I have

9:28 am

hurshy

but ru is saying there are 4 or words so that means 2 more of those

9:29 am

hurshy

i want oriel and orient

9:30 am

hurshy

aha, one is a babbler no longer with us minus his initial T

9:30 am

hokie carla

9:30 am

hokie carla

when you say no longer with us, did he die or stop playing?

9:30 am

hurshy

and plural!

9:31 am

hurshy

9:31 am

hokie carla

9:55 am

origami

I get those car warranty calls all the time. And the ones where my "social security number has been used in a crime" whatever that means.

9:55 am

MollyL

These are the many reasons that I only answer calls that show the ID of someone I know

9:55 am

sukee

Yes, I got a call once saying I was wanted by police, the guy had a southern accent...in Canada...

9:56 am

rururocks

9:58 am

rururocks

I keep blocking them but they keep trying from a zillion new email addresses

9:58 am

rururocks

9:58 am

sukee

10:03 am

moolingwa
