When you Brits say this to your female boss, why do you do it? It’s like an American calling their female boss “mommy.”
Stop.

So is Bond trolling her by subtly changing his pronunciation to “mum”? It’s like that scene from Super Troopers when the cop pulls over some guy was says “meow” but plays it off like he’s saying “now”
Stop.

I cannot explain James Bonds’ weird kinks
That reminds me though, a few years ago I had someone calling my direct line at work and saying ‘meow’ and then hanging up again. It was the receptionist from another office who I had had an awkward email incident with, or about. All afternoon I got these meow phone calls

Yes. She was from the other office and had a crush on a guy I worked with and she emailed him to invite him paintballing. He forwarded the email to me saying something like, oh ****, look at this, and when I replied to him, I accidentally replied to her original email instead. Then I got these weird meow phone calls for the rest of the day.

Oops! You really got to double check who you are sending it to

lmao. Hopefully it was in good fun and not some perverted sexual kink, like meowing in place of breathing heavily without talking
Stop.

Mum is literally James Bonds mom.

Pandora — 3 years ago(February 19, 2023 07:58 AM)

No she would literally just say ‘meow’ once and then hang up again but it went on all afternoon
