The mum, who spotted a rude message on a jumper in Poundland, struggled to hide her laughter from her five-year-old son.
A woman was left in hysterics after a seemingly innocent shopping trip took a rather racy turn.
Mum Lucy couldn’t help but spot an inappropriate hidden message within a jumper’s bright, colourful design in the Poundland store in Margate, Kent. To the untrained eye, the garment seemed normal enough, but Lucy quickly realised it appeared to say the word ‘kn*b’ across the front.
She recounted her experience with glee: “I spotted the jumper in the Margate store of Poundland when I was with my son,” she said. “It just made me really laugh.”
Lucy, who makes a living working at a school, added: “I spend most of my time teaching kids how to read/use words properly. I just automatically zone in to letters and words. I wasn’t shocked, it made me chuckle.”
She went on to share the humorous episode with What’s The Jam, revealing her young son remained blissfully ignorant of the gaffe. “My son is five, he’s called Noah. I didn’t explain to him why I didn’t buy the jumper, but I have written it down to tell him when he’s older,” she remarked.

The amusing find was too good not to share with others, leading Lucy to post about the discovery online alongside a quip: “Someone in Poundland design offices is having a laugh. I chose not to buy this KN*B jumper for my son.”
Social media users joined in on the banter with chuckles and cheeky comments. One chimed in, saying: “Not sure I’d buy a jumper with the word bonk on it for a child either.” Another jested: “Do they sell these in husband sizes?”
“Are they in adult sizes?” asked a third in similar fashion. “Might get one for my ex.” And fourth person quipped: “Thought it may have been a typo: thought they just forgot the T, and it was a New Kids on The Block shirt.”
When Poundland was contacted for comment, they informed us the jumper had been available to purchase earlier this year but had been withdrawn from shelves in September. In a statement issued shortly after the clothing item was discontinued, they said: “It’s actually NKOB – New Kids on the Block – but we understand how it might be misinterpreted so we took it out of stores earlier in the week.”

It comes after another mum performed a double take when a crease in a kids’ jumper seemed to completely alter the innocuous phrase ‘kindness counts’. Samantha Atkinson happened to be browsing through an Australian Kmart store when she caught sight of a vivid yellow hoodie for girls.
Initially, she thought the item featured a curse word due to how it was presented. But upon closer inspection – which prompted a hearty laugh – it turned out that a fold had merely concealed one letter in ‘counts’. The 44-year old Perth resident recounted her experience: “My husband and I had popped into Kmart to pick up some baby clothes for my seven month old daughter,” she told the Mirror. “I saw the hoodie and had to look twice. I actually walked back to take another look.”
She added:”I decided to snap a photo, and it was exactly as photographed,” assuring that there was no tampering involved. “I thought it was hilarious, although had to ask my husband if he saw what I did in case it didn’t look that way to anyone else.”
