neener-neener and most definitely nanny-nanny boo boo are not among my recollected childhood phrases.
I suppose it's a regional thing.
A series of five naaah's (I'm sure you'll remember the inflection) was the preferred taunt of little girls of a certain sort.

Xardon: As a child, I was seldom neenered, nannied, or nahed because I tended to belt anyone who annoyed me with those phrases. Fortunately, I didn't often hear the offending words spoken in my direction...

Speaking of Na Na Na Na Naaaa Na (6 Nah's in this neck of the woods), my sister decided to lock me out of the house one time. Well, Mama's house had a room that was all plate glass windows and we called it the Sun Room, because ...well, you get the idea. Anyway, she locked me out and as I was walking around to the back door to get in that way, sis decided to throw open the drapes of the sun room and stick her fingers in her ears, tongue out and NA NA NA NA NAAAAAAA NA me. She also had her eyes squinched shut. Big mistake. Especially standing in front of a plate glass window. I bunched up my fist and WHAMMMM! Right thru it to her smug face. Didnt hurt her, but cut up my hand something fierce and Mama was MAD, because the window cost 75.00 to replace (that was back in the 70's). She didnt Na Na me anymore after that.

lswanson,
Re "neener, neener".....what Shadowcat said.
I'm not sure I've ever heard it before joining the Internet. I know I never used it, and never heard my daughters use it.
Personally, my thing is "Whatever!." 
Wayward bracket.

FrannyS,
Now that you mention it, I've heard that six naaah variation too.

Neener Neener is an honest to goodness childhood expression...wasn't invented for the internet....I think it might be the west coast expression....................

Even a tasty little thread about hemorrhoids gets derailed here. So much for deep reflections on the relative merits of cosmic sitz baths, and when to submit to the harmonic scalpel. Guess I'll save my GIFs for the real chat on piles...

Pereau- Sorry. I derailed the conversation. I would offer you the advice you seek and could go on ad nauseum (which I often do here, but you don't really want to know about the long-term prognoses regarding excising the entire hemorrhoid vs. stripping out the offending blood vessel which is causing the problem in the first place. Some surgeons claim the latter has longer lasting effects. Forget the sitz bath! Go for the glory!!!
Shadowcat and Femme, thanks for the info on neeners. Thankfully I've not encountered it in real life. I just ask that you won't tell my ex. Please.

The point is....memories. Just surfing thru old threads and remembering. Im being careful not to bump up argumentative ones...just fun threads of a time gone by. No harm intended.

Who was that FrannyS anyway? She wasn't around here long.
Oh wait. I know who she was.
Why don't you start some new "funny" threads instead of dragging these old tired ones up?
