Cringeworthy things us blokes say

[glazbagun]

I like Leptons! I think it's a great sounding word.

Id never fit ditch finders.
My cars a diseasel.
Today I am wearing a Loake country brogue and my timepiece is an Omega PO
.

[Chebble]

I hate it when anyone refers to a car as 'sexy'. It's a car for Christ's sake.

If we sum up everything that was said relating to the posts on here, posters must only use the most literal descriptions and facts. That's going to make for a very boring forum!

Agreed.

Any Americanisms get to me, e.g, "grabbing lunch" or "a bite to eat", can't you just say you are going for some dinner?

If anyone says "today is back day" or "chest day" I think what a nob.

"Incoming", unless we are in a combat situation I don't care, it doesn't make you sound as if you have been in the SAS just a tt.

Agreed.

Also:
Ovlov - WTF is wrong with typing "Volvo"?!
Rex - always thought this meant Honda CRX but now see it used for Mazda RX-8 and VXR8 too
Starting a thread or its title with "So" e.g. "So what car for 10k blah blah". Just leave the word out. Don't type it.
Car ads starting with "Here we have"

Lunch /= dinner.
To me, grabbing a lunch/a bite is buying a quick and easy thing to eat, probably whilst out and about somewhere or coming straight back with it to eat at work. It isn't the same as going for dinner which implies the sitting down in a restaurant for last meal of the day.

People who don't know the difference between lunch and dinner.

Genuine LOL.

Both as a reply to the quoted post, and the OP...

"Scamera"

You were driving above the limit and got caught. There's no scam there at all. If you were driving below the limit and the camera somehow doctored the evidence, then it would be a scam.

Agreed, except in the context of the "Safety Camera". Then it is a scamera And in this country you are a muppet for getting caught. Most of them are bright yellow FFS! I think I might have set off a few in France and Spain a couple of weeks ago though...

I used the following last night.

Her: "What do you want our new house alarm code to be?"
Me: "Dunno, whatever you want"
Her: "OK, why don't we use our anniversary to make it easy to remember"
Me: "Er..."

Like you havent written a stty work email, shouted "Fire in the hole!", pressed send, and put your fingers in your ears?

No?

Just me then....

A little bit of me dies inside whenever someone refers to doing a trackday (ie, a non-compulsory, fun activity that they have chosen and paid to do) as "track work".

"yeah, im running Toyo R888's for track work"

Oh, fk off. You arent an F1 test driver.

And saying "running" too. fk off again.

Installing engines referred to a 'dropped in.'
You drop in to see your Aunt FFS!

But it has fk all to do with speed. It's a form of sub-atomic charge carrier.

Wife: Can you put the kettle on
Me: No, it wont suit me


Wife: Can you turn the light on
Me: Light I think you're really sexy


Wife doesn't find them funny but the more annoyed she gets the funnier I think they are.

Is the Omega your daily beater, or is it rarely worn and just getting some wrist time?

Similarly from me...

Me: What fruit would you like [from the bowl]..?

Wife: A pear.

Me: Of what?


Every time, I can't help it.

When you're having a heart attack or stroke and you stagger in and ask her to call you an ambulance, I hope she says "Voyds9 is an ambulance, voyds9 is an ambulance."
