What's a doge?
I've heard many kids use this phrase - doe je (as in Je rsey)
In fact there was a lad on the Dog House a couple of weeks ago who said it.
My niece is always asking for one.

Sorry but that is absolutely not how you pronounce doge.
it is round here and the lad on The Dog House.
How do you pronounce it?
I have slipped on a banana skin, but is was deliberate and not accidental so that makes it okay.
It's a tale that harkens back to my school days and fellow classmates are saying it's just a schtick in cartoons. At break time a banana skin was present and laid out, I dropped off ledge about half a metre high and my left foot landed on the skin and went rogue and I fell backwards on my arse.

Much hodl, doge wow!
I also would have laughed (as long as they were OK!
)I'd also expect others to laugh at me. It is funny.
I remember once slipping on dog poo. With bare feet. Eww
I still remember the feeling of the turd spreading between my toes! Looked like peanut butter
Exactly how it looks with the G pronounced as normal. ie without the "je" bit.
Neither of us are correct of course !

You never see monkeys slipping on them at the zoo. I thought that would be a major hazard for them.

Agreed.
I slipped up on a satsuma skin and ended up on my back, luckily I had a rucksack or I think I would have smashed my head open. Couldn't get up for a few mins (and this was down Chancery Lane in the middle of London in rush hour) and managed to get into the reception of a building where they called an ambulance as I could barely walk with abdominal pain. Ended up in St Barts and a check showed I was passing blood so I stayed there for a while before going home. Took a few days to recover and lots of bruising/hurting inside.
I laugh about it now though, but it was pretty bad at the time!

Did you ever watch Jonathan Creek, I'm sure there was one eposide that had him going on about it being a cartoon caper and not likely and you are much more likely to fall after standing on dog mess
I slipped on a banana skin once outside a Chinese takeaway. Slid a good foot or so along the pavement. It was indeed incredibly slippy 
Once the shock of nearly falling over passed, I was really pleased that it had happened! I do wonder if anyone witnessed it and what it must have looked like..

I have seen it on my way to work once, so not sure how they came to that conclusion. Actually went down exactly like the cartoons.
There's even a scientific paper on why it happens: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/trol/7/3/7_147/_pdf
I was walking up the path here one wintery, a little icy, day https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.9...4!1sE85K86IVh5G7h3dxc4MHrA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 when a nice looking young lady was coming the other way and on seeing me went through a process of preening - attention more on making sure she was looking good than on where she was walking - cue a few moments later she slides past me on her arse looking most embarrassed.
