Gets into a taxi, with daughter and her 2 Welsh house mates, "Al'rite, drive. To the Dee-po"
Which meant, hello driver, can you take us to the bingo at the Depot.
Got a little hassle from someone drunk, who kept pushing into me.
Daughters friend "Alice from.the Valley" threatened him with "come ere outside and I'll cut your ballocks off"
Bouncer removed him from harm (chucked him.out) and referred to me as Sir. Never had a better night in my life, than in Cardiff with my wife, daughter and 6 Welsh students.
When exiting a Bristol bus, it's compulsory to say "Cheers, drive!".Which meant, hello driver, can you take us to the bingo at the Depot.

I haven't read the whole thread, but I assume that we've already had "hancock".

Gender reveal..... f*** off you attention seeking tools, just another thing for people to do to get “likes” online

"xxxx....lives in your head rent free"
I think it started as some Football 'banter' between rival fans, but I seem to see that stupid phrase everywhere now, it lives in my head rent free.
Apparently it’s much older than that. Advice columnist Ann Landers coined it in the US and she’s been dead for 20 years so must be considerably older. Another one though that is an Americanism so we really are saying on this thread that we are sick of hearing the Americanisation of our language I think it started as some Football 'banter' between rival fans, but I seem to see that stupid phrase everywhere now, it lives in my head rent free.
1 " Thats a very good question ...." ( Thanks Laura, I'll now do my best to avoid answering it ). Used by all spokesmen / women at the 5.00pm briefing with annoying frequency.
2 " Could ".....( as in if you don't wash your hands, you COULD etc, when it is highly unlikely to ever happen. ) . eg from today's paper "TV Licence COULD be scrapped /////// .....but we know that won't happen don't we. An essential word for the new Project Fear vocabulary.

The earliest use I've seen for that phrase was during the Trump presidency, mocking the anti-Trump types. People, including celebrities like Ron Perlman, would regularly tweet about Trump without any real reason. Thus, it was presumed that Trump was living in heads, rent free. I gather the phrase is also part of a Tik Tok trend as well, with users encouraged to 'share a video that lives in their head rent free.'I think it started as some Football 'banter' between rival fans, but I seem to see that stupid phrase everywhere now, it lives in my head rent free.

Read up a bit. It was used decades before then and was originally used to describe mentally abusive men as they would be "living in the head rent free" of their victim
It’s as well I said it was the earliest use I’d seen, isn’t it? I was unaware of any connection to abuse.Mariosbt said:
They still tell children that babies come from mummy’s tummy. 
As tummy can describe stomach OR abdomen, That's correct.Also I'd argue it's not as bad as telling them Playstations are made by elves in Lapland and get delivered by an old man who comes down the chimney from his flying sleigh.
Therein lies a lesson on Global economics and how it would be unprofitable to employ even low wage workers in Finland when Chinese labour will be far cheaper even after accounting for any extra shipping costs to the larger markets for Electronic leisure goods.
Next on the agenda - Roger Hargreaves and his series of inappropriately one dimensional characterisations.
