LONDON -- Sometimes it's the most gloriously immature things that are the funniest.

This week, the following screengrab of a Scottish woman's Facebook post enquiring about a puppy for sale started doing the rounds on Twitter.

For anyone unfamiliar with the finer points of Scottish slang, here's the Urban Dictionary definitions of "honkin" and "jobbie":

Yep, her son basically changed her Facebook name to "A huge poo".

Oh, and from the looks of this second screengrab, she's going to be stuck with it for a good couple of months.

Oh dear.

Still, the name seems to have spread quite a bit of joy on Twitter.

At the time of writing, the mother still appears to be called "A Honkin Jobbie".
