have we had "golf phrases"
- probably enough for a new thread.
eg - after a bad shot - that miraculously still finds its way to the green
"....like shagging your step sister - you're up there, feels good, but you know you shouldn't be"
there are so, so many
Par for course- probably enough for a new thread.

Excellent idea. As an occasional golfer I don't know any good phrases!- probably enough for a new thread.

James Martin the chef (and to be fair, other chefs say it, too): reduce down.
Well, really?
I was seeking to exploit some little-known law of quantum expansion so that I might be able to reduce this sauce up.
JM also says (repeatedly) 'like that'.
Again, it's his way but just feckin' stop!

'Good point, well made'.
I find people say that when they have had a counter-point made to their argument, and they can't argue against it, i.e. "Ah, you have got me there"."Well have to agree to disagree" is a phrase for "I've lost the argument but still don't want to give up".
Not read the previous multitude of pages, but I offer these.
I don't like the voice overs for advertisements for new films that are coming out that give the date as a cardinal number.
If a film is coming out to the cinema on the 1st of June, say the 'first' then. Please do not say 'June 1'. Date is a position, not a quantity. I think this has crept in from the USA.
Do not say 'it is what it is'. That is meaningless, unless it is what it isn't.
"Yeah, no". Well, which then?
How are you? "I'm good". No, say that you are well. Not good or bad please.
"My bad". No, its your fault, mistake. It is not your 'bad'.
"That's sick". Well, if it is an animal at the vets, then maybe yes. If it is a car with Yianimise wrap - also possibly true ( ) but if it is an expression of "wow, that is good, I really like it" then why describe it as a vomit?

I've always interpreted GP, WM as an agreement.
"Well have to agree to disagree" is a phrase for "I've lost the argument but still don't want to give up".
No it's not."Well have to agree to disagree" is a phrase for "I've lost the argument but still don't want to give up".
It's used when you realise you have an irreconcilable difference of opinion but want to move on.
(This where you respond with "agree to disagree" thus rendering us both correct and incorrect and the same time)
