BLATANT TOPGEAR-ISMS

[Jazzer]

Browsing PHs tonight, I've come across the word "epic" NINE TIMES....its use is beginning to get right up my nose!!

Of course, the word is highly used by Clarkson.....everything he drives these days seems to be epic....and we're just picking it up and using it like he does.

It seems though that more and more of us can't choose words or form opinions for ourselves, choosing to get them from TopGear repeats on Dave instead......really pisses me off, especially when people regurgitate stuff to describe cars THEY'VE NEVER DRIVEN!!!!!!!!!!

What other blatant Clarkson/TopGear-isms have you spotted on here....and which of us is the worst offender????

"And that's a good thing!"....spread fast to 5th Gear etc etc

Apart from the bit on people talking rubbish about cars they've never driven, I can't see the problem. It's only a bit of fun.

From which I found...

"I only have to imagine [the Alfa Romeo Brera] in black, with tan leather, and I'm nursing a semi."


"My buttocks are actually kissing the cat's eyes."


"This is like smearing honey into Keira Knightley."

I'm sorry, but i think that should be restricted to people who have actually smeared honey into Keira Knightley.

FWIW its not as much fun as you'd think
