    I've seen this thing going around the internet for the last few days. It was either a hashtag Laurel or Yanny. I didn't have a clue what it meant until one of my daughter's just played me a robotic voice repeating this one word. I said that I can only hear 'Laurel' while she could only hear 'Yanny.' I was quite flabbergasted.

    Have a go and tell us which word you can hear ...

    I heard this on the radio and the first two or three times I heard Laurel. Now it's Yanni.

    The dress was definitely gold though.

    Defo Yanny - how anyone can hear Laurel is bizarre...and agree with Stroller, dress was gold & white, even though when they go to the shop it ends up blue & black <yikes>

    My initial assumption was that males would hear Laurel and females would hear Yanny. So far so good <laugh>
