well as im off there to watch the swans very soon out there then i thought i would get in the mood....
How about: At the end of the day..................... used when it makes no difference!!!! back in the day ............................ an american one used more and more here when talking to youngsters!!! Oddly enough 'It's your round' normally gets by back up!! Goes to show someone is more interested in getting drinks rather than being with mates.
A lot of these phrases have been invented as a form of "yuppy speak" in business. I think these tossers must spend half their day thinking up what they hope will be the next cool phrase. I hate the entire scenario and all the garbage that goes with it. "Run that by me again". What's that all about? Five words to say "pardon?" is what it is. How about this little gem. "Let's run it up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes it". I first heard this back in the sixties and now it seems to be making a comeback. Probably some t**ts thinking they are being original. We have a beautiful, descriptive language and I wish that people would stop messing about with it.
"do you know what I mean?" - Yes, I speak English you ****. "To be honest" - always followed by a lie (guilty of this one myself) "(insert football team) fan in peace" - patronising "dude" - surf speak, makes you sound 12 "negatory" - don't know where this started but when I hear someone using it instead of "no" I have violent thoughts "too much to fast" - New Labour bollockspeak "concerns" - everyone who works for the British state harbours "concerns" I could go on and on and on and on.....I'm a very angry person
At the end of the day, if I cut to the chase this forum post won't reinvent the wheel in any way, shape, or form.
A big up to all and sundry in these parts!! '4am in the morning' - too much information! Those to do with drinking are lessons in understatement; 'He likes his pint' - volumetric calculation was not your best subject 'He's fond of a drop' - here's a 20ft one, will that do? Must include the fairer sex, for balance you see 'She enjoys a glass of wine' - bottle bank junkie He has a great swalley, God bless him' - keep two hands on your drink when he's around.
I fitted my own CB into my car and it caught fire, gutting the car in the process. Oh how we laughed.
that deserves a thread of its own ,what things you've done to your car which on relection probably wasn't the brightest
I bought a second hand mini van in 1969, bought 6 cans of different colour spray paint and sprayed it "hippy style". You would not believe how many times I got pulled over by the cops, I had the long hair, they'd check my tires. lights, MOT, Tax look for drugs, everything, then one day I was pulled over in Baglan, usual check then he starts yanking up and down on my hand brake which on the old mini's had 2 exposed cables and one broke. He did me for having a defective hand brake and he broke it, I bet he went back to the station and went YES!! finally got him. Arsehole!
