mucky-mouthed mum

Last week we talked about mothers’ mucky-mouthed malapropisms. Here’s one from Adam:

My mom refers to the hot cooked sandwiches that you get at Starbucks as punanis!

Really not sure if she’s trying to be funny or not but I’m not going to say anything.

Bless her, Adam’s mum is still trapped in the late 90s, when any reference to Ali G was guaranteed a good reception. If she sticks with it long enough, it’s bound to roll back into vogue again, right? Like mullets and right-wing politics.

My nan always used to refer to the pantry in her house as the ‘glory hole’.

It’s all very well for the youngsters to mock their mum’s use of trendy street lingo and for not noticing the special dessert looks like an erupting knob but in a few years time they’ll all be splashing out on huge kitchen appliances with SMEG written on the front – and having their trendy friends ’round to marvel at them without a hint of irony and no smirking.

If a fridge has SMEG on the front it should be in a bloody GU clinic!
