Figures of speech

@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.

Hat it when wacky cunts reply with "Not three bad"

Yeah, it's just a grammar bitch-off now. Not that I'm not up for that. But then Aram will yell at me for being "superior" and a "nerd" or some such thing.

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

Almost every time i've met you you've had tomato ketchup around your mouth, and yet you claim to say "It is he" when you talk on the phone? Ha!

Speaking (a while ago) of the American South, there are some amazing phrases from there, stuff like "I might could" and "I might should" that, though I was born and raised in Florida, it was coastal town and therefor more beach trash than redneck but these phrases have somehow started cropping up in my speech lately.

hey come on scott - that's all just part of the brand that is Crish Crass, self-styled hobo dandy

Using 'borrow' instead of 'lend', leading to sentences like 'will you borrow me that x'.

Annoying.

Learn instead of teach is also a fun one. Good solid London expression and not to be knocked.

I love the expressions:

"Oh look, it's so and so off of the tele"

and

"Of a Wednesday, I like to have my tea early so I can watch..."

I swear Bendix is still reading.

Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are you from? I've only heard that in Minnesota!

I am REALLY bored.

'Hat it'.
'Should of'.

True...although he does sound like he's wearing one of these when he talks. ;)

It is a very London turn of phrase.

Cup per tea

yeah and you gotta remember - ketchup is an important element of his base colourway

"When I get done"
Doesn't really bother me personally, but it used to cause loads of arguments when I was at school.

This thread can now end.

'Verb' is fucking good! :)

"Can we schedule an appointment to just touch base"

Can we fuck. You aint touching my base sunshine....

spag bol, spag bol, spag bol.

How long does it take to say spaghetti bolognese? How long?

Worse, is spaggy bol. Don't abbreviate something and then make it longer.

Tickle the boxes. I prefer to hear it that way.

Ollidays innit. Broke up yesterday. Watching the Tour in the pub.
Which translates as: 'fuck off dullard'.
I know you won't mind me saying that.

no. not at all. chillax and enjoy your time off, being an anal retentive grammar nazi must be hard work.

no offence like

MrSmyth, just watched Coast (about a lighthouse in Normandy) and they talked about Fresnel, one said Freznel, the other one said it correctly.

and you learned something about lenses too (hopefully)
