Figures of speech

That Phil Liggeture is doing the commentary for TDF today

I am well is the correct answer.

Aram makes fun of me for using that...

Alright? drives me bonkers. I can't figure out the proper response! It's the same as when I was in Spain, Que tal? I uh....alright?

Just about anything a bloke I work with says including: Para (short for paragraph) The boys (the rest of his colleagues) Bucks (US dollars) Gig (any job we are doing - we don't have anything to do with music) ....I could go on but just thinking about the fucking middle class fulham twat makes me mad......I need a holiday.

...and he starts all his emails with 'Guys'.....grrrrrr

@jayloo - "cushty" is the correct response to a casual "alright?"

Do not on any account, ever say, "No, I'm half left", as that will mark you out as the type of person who wears comedy ties to show everyone how zany they are.

"to be honest..."
**means that whatever preceded and followed the current statement was, and will be, rubbish.

"trust me"

I am 'repurposing' my Friday evening and instead of a quiet one in with the missus I'm going get as pissed as a twunt

@ zep + 'with respect' - means without any respect at all

I did a TEFL course and the teacher would always say "to a degree" when what she actually meant was "no, oh my god you fuckwit that's obviously totally wrong"

sorry, the ^^^ was irrelevant

"I seen that"

Stop it, stop it now, you saw it, SAW IT!

Thank you ever so much!

"Colourway" unless your talking about clothing its a colour-scheme.

When people say "its me" instead of "It is he/she" or "speaking" on the phone.

"Colourway" unless your talking about clothing its a colour-scheme.

oh God thank you, that is so fucking annoying

Wouldn't have had the same appeal if the lyrics were "I feel well" would it?

How about "I feel well good"?

@ zep + 'with respect' - means without any respect at all

I actually thought that was a polite way of disagreeing with your peers.

(with respect)

I feel well good bro innit.

@ zep + 'with respect' - means without any respect at all

"With the utmost respect" means "twunt"

"seen" and "been" used instead of "seeing" and "being".
e.g. "seen as how you are going to the shops can you pick me up some beer..."

'with respect' - depends in which context it's used - I used to manage contact centre advisers who would use it whilst arguing the toss with customers - it became one of those phrases that spread like wild fire throughout the dept

I feel well
I knew that I would
I feel well
I knew that I would
So well
So well
That I gots you

This is a bit like a conversation at the pub that's been going on too long and is making people weep with boredom.

I'm going to the bar.

^ Bristol mate, you knows it

I just received a text from my disability job adviser re: handlebars, and he wrote "Nearly their"

REALLY?!

That is not a figure of speech. This thread is broken and dead.

I can't believe I'm still posting
