Incy Wincy Spider*. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. Australia here.

And it's his name - "washed poor Incy out".


*source, my wife and 2 daughters.

 

[DrkSage]

My god... you guys are monsters.

No wonder the USA threw your tea into the water

 

[Dali]

I got one.

Is it "lean a little closer and see roses really smell like poo poo ooo" or "boo boo ooo."

I had a friend say that Andre was saying poo poo because boo boo is when you're hurt but some people say boo boo for shit. I think he's saying boo boo.

Ireland "itsy bitsy"

Same.

Interesting to note the regions - and the fact that the two visible examples of Itsy Bitsy that are from Europe are referring to tattoos.

(But also, I'm not sure this is something that particularly merits many news stories written about it!)

Worth mentioning that I've also seen the Incy version written Incey and even Eensy.

This changes things. Also, spectacular top headline:

I'm supposed to be working.

I note that this article listing "incy" also refers to the bizarre "Ring-o ring-o-rosies"

There are heaps of variations on Ring a Ring o' Rosies but that one just looks like a misunderstanding.

"aah, a spider! Kill it!"

I'm waiting for Ringu Ringu Rosies, the Japanese horror thing that's not actually about the Black Death but everyone thinks it is.

It's Incy Wincy, you fucking philistines.

it is spelled philensteins

 

[mrklaw]

UK seems to favour 'incy wincy'. But being an old bastard, I remember an old children's TV show called 'paperplay' which was an arts/crafts show with two spider hand puppets called.

itsy and bitsy.

also Susan Stranks was a child crush of mine.

 

[mrklaw]

That means nothing, though.

Barney the Dinosaur = 20,700,000 hits
Moschops = 92,100

And Moschops actually existed.

I fucking *loved* moschops. He always did that thing with his head. If I remember correctly

'and moschops thought and thought, until he got that funny feeling which meant a special thought was coming' - which is when he'd have his big bright idea of the show

Seems most of the thread is on the right side of history and are aware that it is itsy bitsy, as it should be

 

[TwiztidElf]

It's Incy Wincy.
The Mandella effect dimension you Itsy Bitsy people come from is indeed a disturbing place.
I never even heard of Itsy Bitsy before this thread.

 

[TwEE-N-Toast]

What the fuck is an Incy Wincy? This is why this site is banned at work.

 

[AndyVirus]

He also says goblin, he knows he's making shit up.

 

[Volimar]

Never heard of incy wincy or blooming bloody. That's pretty neat.

 

[Zushin]

Incy wincy - Australia

 

[Schucky Ducky]

Simpsons says it's Itsy Bitsy. So I'll go with Itsy Bitsy.

 

[bobnowhere]

Close the thread, Simpsons wins

Moschops was fantastic, agreed.

Only reason he doesn't say Incy Wincy is that there weren't spiders then.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

now i understand why brexit happened

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Incy Wincy here (Australia).

I'm a teacher, so I'm raising a whole new generation of kids to understand the correct pronunciation.

 

[TheCochese]

Valve are a US based company, therefore they have no authority over the English language. I think we need QEII to settle this one, I'll give her a bell and get back to you.

England lost control over everything else it once governed, so why not the language too.

 

[Inferno313]

The fuck is an incy, wincy.

 

[Kthulhu]

This is some Mendela Effect shit.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Bitsy, brehs

We still have ultimate say over anything inherently rain-based.

Although possibly the Welsh beat the rest of the UK on that.

Well, I guess that settles it.

We'll get it back eventually, well that was the plan until Trump started passing it over to Russia piece by piece.

 

[ogbg]

Pretty sure it was itsy bitsy in Scotland.
Incy wincy sounds like the words of a soft southerner

Jeff Sessions would say incy wincy.

 

[jizzlobber]

Was always incy wincy spider to me here in Australia, all I've ever known.

 

[ElFly]

I think we're done here, Willem has spoken

I don't recognise his authority here. HE CAN'T EVEN SPELL HIS OWN FIRST NAME.

So I hummed this tune to a friend and asked them what they called the song and they said, "little rabbit foo-foo."

Foo-foo can be slang for vagina in the UK, so this only complicates matters.
