LADbible Readers Tell Us Their 'Funniest' Group Chat Names

Some where a bit far.

Ah, group chats. We're all in one. And if you're sitting there saying "Well I'm not in one, group chats are for idiots", then you blatantly have no mates.

All in all the group chat was made to make things easier. Communication with a number of people, rather than having to go back and forth between chats, with the premise being that you can make plans swiftly. Unfortunately it does none of these things, as when anyone suggests something to do it's always met with a flurry of "maybes", or "not sure", or maybe even "can't, with the missus".

When the footy is on, too, a conversation could be interrupted at any point by someone sending a screenshot of a betting slip, or fantasising about someone's goal (not Adam Lallana, though).

You all know your place in the chat. You might be the plan maker, or the banterless one, the elusive one, the one with the girlfriend, the impartial one or the constant victim of abuse. Whichever you are there's no need to try and change them, they're cemented for life. With each person's position brings a typical day in the group chat. Take an average week day, for example, and waiting for the weekend to arrive.

A stock message of "I can't wait for Saturday" lands in your inbox. So begins the excitement building. It starts with the predictions of what will happen. It's inevitable that one will always throw up, one will disappear early, one will cause controversy, one will get far too drunk and another will make a tit of themselves in front of a girl.

It's a staple of every group chat.

However, there is one difference that every one of these sacred threads has: Its name.

It's either something ridiculously rude, something personal to that group of friends, or is based on how the conversation started. I, for example, am in a chat that has a title based on our form at school. It's unimaginative, looks shite to outsiders and means very little. It has a place in our hearts, though.

LADbible (regrettably, in some cases), asked you what yours are to get a feel of how ridiculous, or how brilliant people's naming talents can be.

There are some that should really be kept private, if we're honest. But if people are proud of them then who are we to judge?

In all honesty it's tough to be funny or get someone to laugh at the name of a convo, but some have given it ago.

'We're all shit at A Levels' is a pretty good one given that it's brutally honest and most likely created just after a group of people were tasked with having to inform their parents they hadn't made it to uni.

There's other obvious ones, like 'Work Knobheads', which, in the north is actually a term of endearment. There was also 'Chat Shit' and 'Sesh Club 7'.

One group named their's the 'John Cena Fan Club', which actually has nothing to do with wrestling, but has also been inactive since it was made given the fact they cannot, for the life of them, see it.

Benefits seems to creep into a few, with the clever word play of 'Friends Without Benefits' and 'Friends On Benefits' being popular.

None of them seem to come close to this one, though.

A brave (or stupid, depending on how you look at it) man who goes by the name of Tom added four women to a WhatsApp group chat on Christmas Day last year after downing one too many bevies and decided to call it 'Merry Ex-Mas'.

As you might imagine, getting Gemma, Bella, Steph and Lisa together proved pretty chaotic and they gave their former boyfriend a piece of their minds.

Here's how it all started off...

He started the conversation by saying: "Merry Christmas girls I just thought you might want to share some memories of me with each other as am lonely this year and miss the lot of ya. [sic]

"I just thought I wanna get you all together in a group and say thanks for spending parts of your life with me even if it was a long time or a short time Bella lol."

Ex Gemma immediately sussed him out and asked whether he's been drinking and finds the rest of the conversation hilarious.

However, it didn't sit as well with former flame Bella, who replied: "Fuck off Tom, seriously. You really are a fucking disgusting prick."

Then Lisa left the conversation without so much as a word, prompting Tom to write: "LISA DON'T GO LOL".

It continued from there...

Bella then said: "Do you really think this is funny? Putting me in a group with a girl I know you fucking slept with while we were together?!"

Steph, the 'girl' she's speaking about, then defends herself by informing her that Tom told her they weren't together at the time.

Bella responded: "We were together 'pet' and Tom just lied to you like he does to everyone. He's a fucking pig."

Their ex-boyfriend then wades back in to the chaos by claiming they weren't together at the time after he sent a message saying it was over. Bella then points out it was sent over Facebook, which she claims to never check.

The squabbling continues for around 10 more minutes before both Steph and Bella leave the group chat.

Tom is left with just Gemma, who he was with when they were at school, prompting him to spark up a more light-hearted conversation.

He said: "Well that went well. How's things Gem? Fancy a drink?"

She replied: "I was a bit shit until this convo - my nan passed away just before Christmas so I could do with a drink" When do you fancy it? xx."

It's highly recommended that you just don't try this.
