The Year Of The Fox Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 Thats another- a douche. Why would you try insulting someone by calling them a shower?

Wycombe Fox Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 "It's not the winning, it's the taking part." Yeah right, loser.
Haydos Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 'One nil down, who gives a fvck, we're the leicester boys and we're going up' Despise that song. Funny if you're bossing the league, shit if you're anything but.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 Thats another- a douche. Why would you try insulting someone by calling them a shower? Dusche is german for shower. But in America 'Douche' means shit I think.
Smudge Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 Dusche is german for shower. But in America 'Douche' means shit I think. No it doesn't it comes from douche bag, an implement to wash out a ladies' naughty bits.
leicesterseddon Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 Hate it when people use the verb 'achieve' intransitively, e.g. 'We're making these changes to the system to ensure that all children have the chance to achieve, no matter what their background', etc. Often by people in the education sector, who should know better. They also seem to speak entirely in abbreviations and acronyms.
Wherethefoxhat? Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 It does what it says on the tin !!!! Grrrrrrrrrr .........

leicesterseddon Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 Why is that different to not using personal pronouns? Some verbs are transitive - meaning they need an object to complete their meaning...it can be a personal pronoun but doesn't have to be. For example, 'buy' is always a transitive verb; you have to use it with an object to complete its grammatical meaning - so you can say, 'Today I'm going to buy a football' or 'Yesterday I bought a chair'. Or whatever. But you can't just say 'A week ago, I bought'. Because it wouldn't really mean anything. That's what I mean with 'achieve' - you have to achieve something, so you can't just say 'I really want to achieve'. So if the verb was 'to hit', for example, I could say 'I want to hit it', or (with a personal pronoun), but I could also say 'I want to hit my performance targets this year', so a completely different object and it doesn't have to be a personal pronoun, long as the verb has an object. Enthralling, I know...
leicesterseddon Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 Why is that different to not using personal pronouns? And some forms are just shorthand
ozleicester Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 At the end of the day... Take this on board... Going forward... Thinking outside the box... Ringfencing... There's no "I" in team... FOOOOOK RIGHT OFF But, if you look closely enough... you can find "me"
SystonFox Posted 14 July 2011 Posted 14 July 2011 Words that need banning : literally, seriously, awesome, amazing. I am guilty of using all of these Phrases : any catchphrase coined by poor itv1 comedians. I use that word in the loosest term.
