Recommended Posts

People are easily annoyed then.

People should learn that from a "grinds my gears thread" that's about 700 pages long.

At the end of the day

...at the end of the day

...basically

...when push comes to shove etc etc

Can all fvck off.

Oh and...I'm not being funny but...

I've noticed the word "math" creeping in.. as in "just do the math"

John Inverdale was saying it repeatedly during the golf commentary on R5 Live. He should know better.

You don't say "mathematic" so why abbreviate it to "math"

Just another example of the way laziness is creeping into our rich and vibrant English language

Laziness was/is an integral part of why it is rich, vibrant and forever changing.

I detest 'management speak'...

'blue skying'

'run with it'

'keep me in the loop'

'owning change'

Etc....

All a load of pretentious bollox..

My boss uses "boxing clever " a lot. "we need to be boxing clever on that". Referring to cutting wage costs or something, annoys the fuvk out of me.

That would annoy me hugely.

Because the expression is "box clever." Your boss is a moron.

"Haitch" gets on my nerves. It's "Aitch", in case anyone didn't know.

I'm waiting for "waiting on" to fvck off and die.

Yeah perhaps haitch for "h" is the most annoying.

Things like "let's fly it up the flag pole & see who salutes it" for an idea.

Ive heard radio djs say"l o l'ing" on more then one occasion.

Makes me feel physically sick.

Amazing how so little can make you feel 'physically sick'?

It usually takes about 7/8 beers or a dodgy curry with me...

lol

That bit in the song Live and Let Die

"this ever changing world in which we live in"

Grrr.

Spooky Paul McCartney just started signing on the radio as I wrote this!
