Words I'm sick of hearing...

[AdeTuono]

Unprecedented, worst-case scenario, New Normal, bubble, social distancing.

Any more?

Ah! Thanks, that makes some sort of sense. Reminiscent of the origins of the BBC2 late night show "Old Grey Whistle Test" title. If the aged, grey haired doorman was heard to be whistling a number that had been featured on the show then it was likely to be a success. Unlikely origin really because the show would have been named before the apocryphal aged doorman had actually heard any music on it.

It was the cleaning ladies, apparently.

Scenario.

And jab.

I see the word ‘busting’ has made it’s way across the Atlantic as a replacement for ‘breaking’ (for parts), being the conservative type I am, I’m already sick of it.

I've been seeing "part out" being used instead.
ISO, whatever the fk that means, instead of WTB.

I don't even know what WTB means...

I thought a day included the dark bit too? 24 hours in a day.

Day and night, day time, night time. A sunny day, nobody says a starry day. Daybreak isn't at midnight, it's dawn

Six days ago, or six days and six nights ago?

'...that's within 28 days of a positive Covid test.'

Every. fking. Night. For. Months.

It's onomatopaeic.

Really

Spelt wrong I think.

It's spelt (sic) how it sounds.

I've never heard anyone make a 'Meh' sound. Maybe I'm mixing with the wrong (right?) type of person.

[AdeTuono]

Level up.

No it isn't.

You haven't quite got the hang of this thread, have you?

'So called'. We had 'So called Islamic State'. Now it's 'So called Indian Variant' and 'So called green list'. Plus, no doubt, many others.

WTF is 'So called' anyway. If that's what we call it/them, then it's not 'so called', is it? It's what they're called. tts.

'It's coming home'....closely followed by 'brave heroes'. FFS.

Surprised we have not had: 'Platty Jubes' yet

...Couldn't give a rat's arse at this current point in time.

Never, ever heard that. What is it supposed to mean?

At the risk of a parrot, if not serious, Platinum Jubilee

That makes sense. Still never heard it though.

People who say 'myself' when they mean 'me'. And by extension, people who say 'yourself' when they mean 'you'.
