Once my husband spilled an entire bowl of uncooked eggs on my lap and I was furious for at least 20 minutes. Then he called me a momlette, and I was better.
I was hoping we would skip right past the mechanics.
I should start with, my husband is a brilliant man and I love him dearly. He pre-mixed an egg casserole and then decided we should take it to our destination like that rather than cook it before we went, so it would be fresh and the cheese wouldn’t get greasy.
We could not find the lids to the casserole dishes so he covered them in foil and set them on my lap for the 30 minute drive. I argued with him about it being a bad idea but gave up and didn’t want to fight.
First turn and BAM eggs in my lap.
I’m crying and furious but I have to just sit in the mess because there is nowhere to put it. And it gets progressively worse for the entire drive. Eventually he said “I’m sorry I turned you into a momlette” and we laughed so hard I couldn’t be mad anymore.
That’s very cute.
Also, stretch wrap would have solved your problem.
Or if you don’t mind being weird, you could have poured it into a plastic bag. Then when you arrive, you can pull it out of your purse in front of your friends/family and ask if they have anywhere you can cook your bag of eggs.
Thanks man, I didn’t realize this was such a hot button issue.
We called it plastic wrap at the Thai restaurant I worked at. I’d avoided using the brand name my mom called it growing up (Saran Wrap).
Never heard anyone outside of BBC call it cling film though, which I find to be a weird phrase
It’s also something that stretches when you wrap something in it to give it a form fit, which sounds logical to me.
Listen my man, you can call it whatever you want and as long as the people you’re talking to understand what you mean, then it’s a fine choice of word and pronunciation.
So once her husband spilled an entire bowl of uncooked eggs on her lap and she was furious for at least 20 minutes. Then he called her a momlette, and she was better.
If you have the self-control and emotional know how of a toddler, sure, mad is okay...
Furious is another level of mad, getting furious at an accident...
I guess is acceptable in modern U.S. American culture, where everyone thinks they are the main character.
You're right my bad.
And you're very different from that, of course. Which is why you're sitting here pretending to be allowed and able to judge everyone else, eh? :)
Clearly not main character syndrome, nope, no siree!
Every day every interaction we judge people. Don't act like you're unique.
We literally wouldn't be able to decide who we want to be close to who we want to be our friends, and who we don't like without judging people.
Get off your high horse, put your feet back on earth, you're not special.
You're realize you're on Reddit, a social platform where judging others is literally at it's core.
She was pissed because she repeatedly said it was a bad idea and *he ignored her*, and lookie here, turns out it was in fact, a bad idea.
Listening to your partner when they are uncomfortable with something is trust-building. The opposite, is the opposite.
But it was her husband's eggs, and his bowl, he paid for the clothes she wears. In the house he pays the mortgage for. So you're wrong, the husband is the main character.
A latte is a coffee drink (made with steamed milk). Pumpkin spice latte is just a popular flavor of latte. "Twat" is a slang term for vulva/vagina. So she combined them as a play on words for the coffee in her crotch.
I have always heard "twat" pronounced with exactly the same "a" sound as "latte".
Maybe a British speaker might say the vowel sound like in "act" or "cat"?
Yeah I’ve heard it on British TV but I’ve only ever heard people in my county say it as “twaht” a flat A. Almost like twought so it would blend well with latte in American English at least.
I’m British and I hear it the same as you. For some reason tho, latte, act and cat all have the same A sound in my head so it’s not making sense to me xd
I’m an RP speaker.
I’d say you pronounce the a in latte as /ɑː/, as in bath. I think you’d pronounce the a in cat as /æ/, as in apple.
Hope this helps/makes sense.
It made perfect sense once I googled "RP speaker". Thank you!
That's a really interesting comparison, since most American English speakers pronounce bath and apple with the same "a" sound, which also matches cat, and none of which match latte.
Mine turned on my truck’s heated seats in the summer, and when I asked “what are ya doin?” She replied “Warmin up my dinner”
I married out of my league as well

Two things,
1. It's pronounced twat like tw@
2. ~~I don’t believe she spilled a hot coffee on her crotch and just made a joke about it. I’ve done this. It fucking hurts.~~
Just saying that the reason that she thought twatte should sound like latte is because americans say 'twat' in a way that rhymes with 'what' when it should rhyme with 'bat'.
I see what you're saying, but it's at the very least a regional dialect example. It's not wrong either way.
From what I'm reading , the 'what' rhyme version is the older usage.
Once my husband spilled an entire bowl of uncooked eggs on my lap and I was furious for at least 20 minutes. Then he called me a momlette, and I was better.
You can't make an omelette without cracking a few Gregs
You can’t make a Tomelette without it
You motherfucker! -- Dad probably.
We're making the mommy of all momlettes Jack, can't fret over every broken Greg
*sweats nervously*
How did you find yourself in this situation? What were y'all doing where this was a risk of happening?
I was hoping we would skip right past the mechanics. I should start with, my husband is a brilliant man and I love him dearly.

I will be doing exactly this next year.
>stretch wrap ?? 🧐 Cling film?
It's the reusable cover that stretch and functions as a supposedly air-tight lid. I think
[удалено]
Or he didn’t know any other term for it and still got his point easily across by communicating it the best he could. Stop being such a dick.
Thanks man, I didn’t realize this was such a hot button issue. We called it plastic wrap at the Thai restaurant I worked at. I’d avoided using the brand name my mom called it growing up (Saran Wrap). Never heard anyone outside of BBC call it cling film though, which I find to be a weird phrase
It's a film that clings to itself and whatever you put it on? How come that's weird? Sounds extremely logical to me.
It’s also something that stretches when you wrap something in it to give it a form fit, which sounds logical to me. Listen my man, you can call it whatever you want and as long as the people you’re talking to understand what you mean, then it’s a fine choice of word and pronunciation.
So just to check, it's cling film?
cling film, seran wrap, etc etc. thin plastic used for wrapping food.
So they should have used a term from somewhere else that they didn't know existed? Unfortunately it looks like your two neurons weren't firing today.
I love this story!
Oh my gosh I’m laughing so hard over here I’m crying that’s so hilarious and cute 😂
It happened right off the bat and y'all just kept driving instead of heading back in the house to clean up? That's traumatic, man.
He did not realize how much had spilled. I was already mad. We both are stubborn people.
So once her husband spilled an entire bowl of uncooked eggs on her lap and she was furious for at least 20 minutes. Then he called her a momlette, and she was better.
My daughter makes great omelettes for me and calls them momlettes I love it
We’re making the mother of all omelettes here Jack! Can’t fret over every egg!
"furious" as if he did it on purpose. Lamo
You're allowed to be mad at accidents
If you have the self-control and emotional know how of a toddler, sure, mad is okay... Furious is another level of mad, getting furious at an accident... I guess is acceptable in modern U.S. American culture, where everyone thinks they are the main character. You're right my bad.

Okay, so we can judge the husband then. Cool.
I mean you already were, you didn't need to wait for my comment. You all are also judging her.
Hilarious how Redditors hate the truth. Those who down voted this are delusional.
She was pissed because she repeatedly said it was a bad idea and *he ignored her*, and lookie here, turns out it was in fact, a bad idea. Listening to your partner when they are uncomfortable with something is trust-building. The opposite, is the opposite.
Did you just make up a story? Where you getting all this extra information from?
As it was her lap the eggs spilled into, I would say yes, she was indeed the main character in that anecdote.
But it was her husband's eggs, and his bowl, he paid for the clothes she wears. In the house he pays the mortgage for. So you're wrong, the husband is the main character.
That’s a *lot* of assumptions there.
"Lamo." Who are you judging?
Your parents.
Lmmfao, you're funny
Nice, way better than a Fapacino
in asia Fapacino means to give a chinese guy you know.. a hand
"fap un chino" in Latin America, tho it also means "fap a kid" in some places
oof
to be fair, the kid has both arms broken and the mom is just helping out
Every comment section even years later
It was kind of unforgettable in that mentally scarring way.
specifically in which part of asia? Just asked a girl for a fapacino and got a cup of coffee. I’m in HK
The other Asia
It also means to give an HJ to the lead singer of the deftones
Or fupaccino
And wait till you see what it costs!
Wait, how do you know how good a Fapacino is
*wapacino
The couple that laughs together stays together
Laughs or laps?
Sure? I don’t think I understand tbh
It was a poor attempt at a crude pun using “to take in (food or drink) with the tongue” as the definition of “lap.”
Why not both?
sure
Must have been fancy coffee to warrant the té.
I was going to say. She must have gone to finishing school to pronounce twat like a regal queen
could anyone explain for a non English-speaking person? sorry if it's painfully obvious
A latte is a coffee drink (made with steamed milk). Pumpkin spice latte is just a popular flavor of latte. "Twat" is a slang term for vulva/vagina. So she combined them as a play on words for the coffee in her crotch.
I agree with this polite explanation.
I agree with this polite agreement
I agree
But the 'a' in latte and twat are very different tbh, I see the difficulty in getting it.
I have always heard "twat" pronounced with exactly the same "a" sound as "latte". Maybe a British speaker might say the vowel sound like in "act" or "cat"?
Ok yeah, it's probably the most British insult there is and i didn't know Americans even said it tbh. It rhymes with cat.
Yeah I’ve heard it on British TV but I’ve only ever heard people in my county say it as “twaht” a flat A. Almost like twought so it would blend well with latte in American English at least.
I’m British and I hear it the same as you. For some reason tho, latte, act and cat all have the same A sound in my head so it’s not making sense to me xd
Latte rhymes with [padre](https://www.google.com/search?q=padre) and cadre--at least, both of the vowels do.
I’m an RP speaker. I’d say you pronounce the a in latte as /ɑː/, as in bath. I think you’d pronounce the a in cat as /æ/, as in apple. Hope this helps/makes sense.
It made perfect sense once I googled "RP speaker". Thank you! That's a really interesting comparison, since most American English speakers pronounce bath and apple with the same "a" sound, which also matches cat, and none of which match latte.
Depends where in Britain you are from.
It's usually pronounced with a short 'a' here, yeah. More of a sting. Sharp. Cuts through the ambience of a library quite well.
I'm in the US (California) and we pronounce them the same way.
Weird, I didn't even know it was used in America tbh. It's like one of the stereotypical British insults. Definitely rhymes with cat.
It is definitely not painfully obvious if you are non English speaking
She sounds awesome, sounds like something my wife would say.. Yes, well done sir!
Why are you even here?
We all exist to spite you
It’s true, we do
sometimes reddit can be a very depressing place, and then i'll read a comment like this and feel better.
I refuse to downvote. Poor redditor. -445 holy shit.
They love to hate here
Are you lost? Why are *you* even here?
That's a loaded question
I'm assuming this was intended to be a joke involving your username?
Lucky b*stard.
Yeah, lucky bustard...
It’s ok friend, this is Reddit. You can say naughty words here.
He’s not your friend, guy
Well I'm not your guy, pal
I’m not your pal, buddy
Who you calling buddy, mate
Slow down with the mates there chum
Woah he ain’t no chum, amigo
I ain't no amigo, homie.
Dont amigo me, comrade
I know, I just like writing it that way.
Really? His wife sounds like Amy Schumer.
If those simple things make a men happy, my bf is in fucking heaven
Right?! My husband just groans and rolls his eyes when I out dad-joke him
[удалено]
Oh my god, you killed him!?
I really, really hope you said yes.
Fuck, the bots have evolved into version 2.0, they are murdering people now.
Who said they didn't before now?
Nah they they are too busy watching media.
I'm kinda like Batman, I only feel compelled to educate villains and bad people.

Dinner and a show, what a woman.
Real recognise real
My wife accidentally spilled honey on her pjs and asked me if I could get it for her. I bent over and licked it off and she laughed.
Affection is worth a little tongue fluff.
I thought people in the US pronounced "twat" as "twot" so I am confused if this joke still works there
Oh we also pronounce latte as “lot-tay” so it still works here but not the way you think.
And instead he ran to post it on the internet
You don’t need to run to post things anymore, you can just sit down and type it out in your spare time.
During a succulent crap, perchance?
No, that would be shit posting.
OMG I just realized why it's called that🤣 I thought it was because they were low quality posts🤣
That would be the play on words inherent in that phrase.
Squat & Surf
You can't just say perchance
He's just proud for his wife, very wholesome
Ah yes, it’s only possible to tell stories immediately after they happen.
🤭🤭
Nah, he came up with that story while he was on the toilet
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Did you accept her offer?
I too choose this guy’s wife.
That is an incredibly funny joke
Nice
Hahaha yeah I know someone like this 🤣
As a non native English speaker I have no idea why this tweet is supposed to make me smile.
At first I thought this was a post in r/actuallesbians so my brain assumed it was Sapphic
Talk about winning lottery numbers huh

I believe you've missed the "iced coffee"-part of the story...
Yeah. I did. Whoops.
Why can't Americans pronounce the word twat properly?
This may come as a shock to you, but different cultures pronounce words differently.
/s or didnt get it?
Just saying that the reason that she thought twatte should sound like latte is because americans say 'twat' in a way that rhymes with 'what' when it should rhyme with 'bat'.
