Asking a waiter/waitress "May you have a coffee?" would be very weird.

Not being a baboon or any other brand of simian, I never swung by anywhere.

Assuming you are a member of the species Homo sapiens sapiens, you are in fact a member of the infraorder Simiiformes, and hence simian.

The individual would say ''May I'' but you knew that.

[WindyMills]

"Dare I say" - usually followed by something wholly timid.

Comments from the local paper are along the lines of "Dare I say the roadworks will take an extra week". The fking lunatic!

So I'm utterly bored of the following....

'The narrative'....seems to be everywhere.... especially in relation to numbnuts Sky News interview in the street.

As mentioned before...'Reach out'....at the risk of issuing an annoying phrase in return... I'm using the 'are you a member of the Four Tops?' In retort... this really confuses Americans...

'Community Leaders'...I have no idea who these people are, nor have I ever encountered one or have been led by one..

Corbynistas....wtf

And in car classifieds....'it's a ten year old car, don't expect it to be x , y or z'

And why is everyone saying 'boom'....

Oh and those mini punch the air gestures...

Finally...'just saying'

Edited by AndrewCrown on Tuesday 27th June 23:33

Bored of? Bored of? BORED OF????

It's bored with in the Queens English

People constantly saying 'boom' gets up my spout too.

Not to mention starting his post with "So".

Asking a waiter/waitress "May you have a coffee?" would be very weird.

The individual would say ''May I'' but you knew that.

I would say "Can I please have a..." or perhaps "I would like..." Simple, polite and grammatically correct.

[MorganP104]

I dislike lazy clichés spouted by motoring journalists.

"Hewn from granite"
"Handles like it's on rails"
"You feel like an extension of the car"
"Telepathic steering/handling/throttle response"

I'm sure there are plenty more, but that's enough to be getting along with.

Therefore, calling in somewhere when en route to somewhere else was, 'we'll swing by'.
Not being a baboon or any other brand of simian, I never swung by anywhere.
.'

In the declension of verbs, should that be "I have never swung" or should it be I never swang"?

Of course to be "swinging, a swinger or swing both ways" is another matter entirely.
