Spaghetti who wants to hear about my day

Does what it says on the tin

I feel like we as a society moved on too quickly from the phrase “gets on my tits”.

Tonight my viewing pleasure was old episodes of Wife Swap UK, first aired across the UK in what I assume to be the early 2000’s.

There’s a treasure trove of lost fashion and phrases, but the one stand out is without a doubt “gets on my tits”.

Why did we stop using it? Is it anti-feminist? Vulgar mayhaps?

Either way I found it absolutely hilarious and felt I should share this linguistic throwback.

I’m also amused to see that Union Jack fashion was rife within the time period. Picture me, a wife who’s been swapped, with a Union Jack t shirt and a fake husband who is, undoubtedly, “getting on my tits”.

Stay nostalgic Hoopsters.

Spaghetti Hoops out.
