All I can think of is “Magic the Gathering Guys?” 😂
Empty Gee Gee (another word for a horse)
also, second one is a towel.
It’s *so* out of date.
The answer is ‘Empty’ (MT), and GG which is old slang for ‘Horse’. But the only person I have ever heard call a horse a Gee Gee was my Grandad, never heard it anywhere else.
e**M**p**T**y **G**ee **G**ee
M T G G
“M T” sounds like “empty”, and a “gee gee” is slang for a horse, so “empty horse”.
I had to explain to my 6 year old daughter what a cassette tape was the other day after she read something about on from a Biff & Chip book. Made me feel ancient!
What the answer to the second riddle?
Oh damn, seeing the bit about the magic key gave me whiplash. I used to read those in infant school.
I grew up in the countryside and never once heard them referred to as ‘gee gees’. Where I’m from we used the term ‘horse’.
is this biff and chip? i remember reading this ages ago…
Biff and Chip books are still around? I remember them being used in primary school 28 years ago. Now I get to feel old twice, once for understanding the joke and once for recognised a book that once helped teach me how to read.
The magic key is so done with Hong’s bullshit.
GG is an old name for a horse.
Think it stands for Glorious Gamble.
MTGG = empty horse
As a Brit I had to read the comments to find the answer
I’m a non Brit and I discovered a whole stash of Magic Key books in my classroom when I moved in. I used those books to teach my first graders to read for years. They never failed to interest kids and students should fight about who got the favourites next. I used to use my phone to project some of them on the smartboard and we’d discuss language, plot, characters, themes etc. It was a great way to introduce them to the concepts around series books – characters and settings can stay the same but the plot can change. I loved these books!
When you jog a child on your knee while humming the William tell overture we always called that playing GeeGee
I’m 40 and remember these, Biff, Kip and Chipper.
If GG is MT, then there won’t be any shit thrown or smeared around
Better joke:
What cheese can you hide a horse in?
That one took me a minute. Haven’t heard anybody call horses ‘gee gees’ since my nan died.
Also seen in Gilbert & Sullivan
When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery,
When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery,
In short when I’ve a smattering of elementary strategy,
You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a gee
It tells you right there on the page can you not read
Reminds me of the brilliant sketch by the Two Ronnies
FUNEX
I didn’t get it until I said it out loud… 🙂
I’ve just had to explain this to my 13 year old… his response was to pull a face …. Tell me he doesn’t get it… and shake his head at me …. Me on the other hand can’t stop laughing at him and the riddle!
Mt gg. Empty geegee. A term for horses.
A Gee Gee (G G) is slang for a horse. I believe a Gee Gee is the first horse out of the starting gate.
So an M T (empty) G G (Horse) is a hungry horse.
Ha! Nice one
I feel like I have a memory of having this in a Christmas cracker one year. It’s that kinda level of good bad
No idea about the GG = horse, but the thing that gets wetter the more it dries is a towel
Finally, due to his involvement and love of horse racing, Henry Gee’s name became synonymous with race horses, as today they are still often called, ‘gee gees’. And it all stared in Chester Race Course here in the Uk
I’m 34 and I remember needing this explaining to me when I read it in the 90’s
Growing up in a horse racing town, sating gee gees for the horses is the norm & still used today, especially if you’re going to place a bet on the gee gees.
