A lighthearted attempt to move the misery away from what we are witnessing from our performances.

thinking outside the box
the best version of themselves
elephant in the room
they gave everything

[1] People who say food is "moreish"
[2] The use of the suffix "-gate" to describe every scandal since Watergate
[3] Saying people are a "denier" of something (sorry Strolls) as it originated from Holocaust Denier so feels a tad unpleasant to apply it elsewhere
[4] He was entitled to go down
[5] Footballers constantly saying they will "hopefully" do well for their new club
[6] Teenage girls that use "like" in between just about every other word (as my daughter does)
[7] "When he walked in the room I literally died!"
[8] "A bad day at the office"
[9] "Early doors"
[10] "Setting out your stall"
[11] "I'm not sucking that it's infected!"

I sometimes say food is Moorish after I've eaten a paella...

There's nothing worse....

As in "I stubbef my toe"..."oooh, there's nothing worse"

As in "I twisted my back"..."oooh, there's nothing worse"

As in "I impaled my testicles on a barbed wire fence"..."oooh, there's nothing worse"

As in "I've had to have an arm and a leg amputated"..."oooh, there's nothing worse"

Only acceptable use, as in "I've been decapitated in a horrific ten car pile up that resulted in a fireball the size of Hiroshima"..."oooh, there's nothing worse"
