Following on from Hog's Sayings That Annoy thread, are there things done by other folk that really irritate your mammaries? Get on your tits, in other words? Several of my own pet hates are: People who board the bus without having their fare ready. People having no idea of the bus route before hand and asking the driver for detailed info on every frigging stop the bus will pull in at before reaching its destination. Slow walking fucks who walk three abreast slowing ME down especially when I'M in a hurry. Officious OAPs who expect doors to be opened for them without saying thanks. Now my folks are elderly but at leat they've got manners and they don't say 'It wasn't like this during the war.' Roll on the day when I'm bemoaning the state of the world in The Grill enjoying my half n hauf and a game of either cribbage or dominoes saying to anyone who gives a shit 'It wasn't like this during the War On Terror.'

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for A Swatch Of Yer Fanny. I better stop. I'm getting caried away and I think I've ruptured something with all this laughing.

The suggestion of a new hobby?

You Like Jenna Jameson's Fud. Jenna Jameson's Fud Likes You. Kids Will Do Anything For Ron Jeremy's Cock.

Be young, have fun, drink jizz:laughing:

Did you try typing 'bum sex'? Brilliant results too numerous to mention :laughing:

Ah! Now I remember. I had a lot on my mind back then so I wasn't in a position to be mindful of certain events.

Give That Man A Stevecrisis. Please Don't Squeeze The Stevecrisis. A Smooth-Running Stevecrisis is a Relaxing Experience.o_O

Shame about Fluff. He was quite the character. I didn't realise Tommy Vance ws dead. When did that happen?

Have you tried CP Cases Scotland? They do a lot of design stuff for my work, but I'm sure they'd do comercial as well as industrial. http://www.cpcases.com/ infoscotland@cpcases.com Worth a try at least

But then you have no taste and can't play pool for toffee

Is the going good to firm? And it's Don't Give A Shit neck and neck with Dodgy Kebab and in the final straight of the final furlong coming up the inside it's Touching Cloth closely followed my Streaky Skid Marks On't Bowl and streets in front it's Don't Give A Shit by a full length. John McCririck eat your heart out!

Very true. Especially when it's been cut with powdered guar gum!

There's a sketch in the Mitchell & Webb Situation with two junkies mainlining heroin. Female: Now that's my last. Take it away. Male (sharing her needle): Go on have some more. Female: It is rather moreish...

I still maintain that moreish gets on my tits no matter how fanciful it's put or defined. As I said earlier: Saying that something is 'more-ish' implies that the perpetrator cannot exercise any self-control and is quite content to stuff their fat fucking face with fine delicacies.

Well how about REALLY nice? Or nicer than a nice thing covered in nice on national nice day?

moreish morish adj (Eng) 1. colloq Said especially of a food: so tasty, delicious, etc that one wants to keep eating more of it. Etymology: 18c. Still amounts to nice in my estimation:up:

This thread isn't about the flexibility or the inflexibility of the English language. It's about sayings or colloquialisms that people find annoying and loathsome. Slang is acceptable in almost every occasion, but for something as twee and insipid to be said, that has neither significance nor relevance to the sensibilities of the more articulate, enrages us.

EEEESH! Just had another one just now. Sales Manager of quite an imporatnt vendor: Morning Steve. How's your diary fixed for this week? Me: I've got a slot available on Thursday afternoon. What I felt like saying was 'The binding of my diary is intact and doesn't require to be repaired.' But if I said that the sarcasm would have been lost as the man in question has no concept of it.

I loathe that one. Really grates on my nerves too. I must confess my guilt using this one. I even say it at work but as an alternative to admitting any mistakes Even the use of 'like' used as punctuation in speach makes me want to rip the offendor's tongue out and bitch-slap them with it. Two of my hated phrases/sayings are: To die for - the only time I've tolerated this on is when it was used as a title for a Nicole Kidman film It/they are so more-ish - Just stop! Say 'fine' or 'nice' as an acceptable alternative. Saying that something is 'more-ish' implies that the perpetrator cannot exercise any self-control and is quite content to stuff their fat fucking face with fine delicacies.

Cheers for that And it is Tomorrow Never Knows. Thank you. I am now put out of my misery. Thread can now be closed!

Excellent! Thanks Chris, I can't argue with that. I'll put my confusion down to me having a senior moment. :O One question remains, what Hicks video/DVD performance features the psychedelic 'Beatles' track? Is it contained in Only A Ride or Revelations? I must purchase them once again. (OK that's really two questions before the pedant police start knocking)

Does this really need elaboration? I think 'In a nutshell' would be the appropriate phrase.

I can't watch that at work, unfortunately. The boss is very prudish and frowns on that kind thing!
