Bumpits
Maybe it’s my mad literal brain but I heard this product being advertised today and it sounded like bum pits not bump its. Is it just me? A double affront was the spelling of happy with ie.
Turns out they are bits of plastic that you hide in your hair to b/pump up the volume, aimed at women who want to look like Cheryl or Amy. :rolleyes: (I hate celebrities being referred to by their Christian names.) I know big hair is coming back into fashion but who wants to look like an egg-headed alien? Surely the revolting sounding name of product will put people off, or maybe it could perversely work in the firm‘s favour? Any other examples of products with off-putting names? http://www.bighappiehair.com/ |
Armpit is a horrible word.

:confused: I'm so glad I was born a man....
|
I already have big hair so no horridly named accessories for me !
You are quite right MQ there is no need for it. |

Have discovered that axilla is one correct term and oxter is another. Underarm does sound better than armpit but don't think it was used when I was young. |
Don't think it was used either. A girl at work said belly today, and she wasn't referring to pork :barf:

Is that a bit like port and starboard. Which one is which then?
Have you ever heard anyone use either term? |
Not till about half an hour ago. ;)
|
port is left starboard is right and the way to remember (for me) is the length of the words ;)
I've used them. Purely whilst boating and quoting ;) |
