Tumbleweed Moments
Discussion
As is the habit across the land, today has seen the visit of the long lost friends who have come over for tea...
During the meal the friend's precocious three year old's counting skills were unveiled as he was asked to count the number of spots on his mat.
The needy child duly responded, counting slowly - 1...2...3...
Just before he got to the magic ten, I turned round from the kitchen sink and shouted...
"That's numberwang!"
Cue row of bemused faces - I might have well have pronounced their offspring to be the child of the devil...
Anyone else suffered similarly embarrassing moments over the festive period?

I declare numberwang wherever I feel it is occurring.
The best was filling at the South Mimms services.
"That's £42.57 thanks"
"That's numberwang!!!" *slides card into reader"
I've also used it in the staff room, and have experienced those silences. People who get it chuckle though.
"Let's play cucumberwang!"
"No Jimmy, that would be sh*t."
