Anyone use long names instead of saying it as it is kind of thing? Heard someone say "serendipity" over the weekend and thought what the **** does that mean? Well it is luck that takes the form of finding valuable or pleasant things that are not looked for. So why not just say that was lucky or that was fortunate?
I was going to get involved with this thread then I remembered the fear! - it's called ...hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
It really annoys me when people say 'however' in the middle of a sentence instead of 'but' when it's obviously just an idiot trying to be 'clever' It just sounds so ****ing stupid, 'cos it doesn't make any sense in the context that it's used I'm now wishing that I'd never contributed to this thread
I was disticulating this morning and feel better for it !. procrastinating, bombastic. "I beat my father up this morning" that sounds violent but it is how the English language is complicated, I really meant I got up first, "Tommy got diorhea ? through a hole in his shoe, and the teacher said that's a funny place to get it !.
Did you know G... In fact, instead of me explaining it, just take a look at 1.c. in this link, from The Oxford English Dictionary. http://www.oed.com/view/Entry/109061
That's cleared that up, then It reminded me of another really annoying thing Why do idiots, when answering a question, say 'absolutely' when they mean 'yes' . . . just say 'yes' you fecking arseholes p.s. I've just answered my own question, by the way
Sounds like an Americanism to me, they also say 'you bet'. Do you know Cest? He always used to end his sentences on here with a question mark.
This test is for 11 year old's... I scored 70% Let's see how much some of you reprobates remember from School... http://www.sats2016.co.uk/think-youd-pass-your-sats-in-2016/
I quite like this one Schadenfreude (/ˈʃɑːdənfrɔɪdᵊ/; German:[ˈʃaːdn̩ˌfʁɔɪdə] ( please log in to view this image listen)) is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others.[1] This word is taken from German and literally means "harm-joy". It is the feeling of joy or pleasure when one sees another fail or suffer misfortune. It is also borrowed by some other languages. An English term of similar meaning (but with no noun equivalent) is "to gloat"; which means to feel, or express, great, often malicious, pleasure, or self-satisfaction, at one's own success, or at another's failure.
Nope, 70% is a pass, I just decided We're fine, diddles and Zlat better dig out their old school shoes.
absolutely! I concur ... those hebetudinous characters with their sesquipedalian rhetoric are indeed coital derrières
I have a better excuse mate - I just didn't attend, my secondary schooling it was one long truancy - I scrapped 1 O'Level to my name in Sociology
