I'm going to 'loose' my mind, instead of lose. Seeing it drives me crazy.
How about he drove 'passed' my house, sometime in the passed, or he 'past' me on the M-Way, or ect, instead of etc, frieind instead of friend?
We could be here all day with these, or hear all day.
Speaking of London, to all those who were standing outside the Wetherspoons in Edgware Road, every single one of you looked like a kn*b.
I'm going way out on a limb here, but I'd hazard a guess that most of the people inside looked pretty much the same, and not just in that Wetherspoons, but all of them.
Before taking aim, would all of you people who like to drink cheap beer, while surrounded by creatures that resemble the patrons of the bar in Star Wars, remember that I said MOST, not all, and my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek.
Received Pronunciation. I dislike the way those that speak in this fashion distort words.
On the news, an awful story was reported from Gratz in Austria. My mum was born near there and has always pronounced it exactly as it's spelled, but the newscaster pronounced it as "Groartz".
A friend of mine married a guy from Graz, they live in Gleisdorf.
He, a native of Graz, pronounces it as Gratz, my friend pronounces it like Grahtz.
I think his is correct, but I'd never tell her.
She speaks German quite well, but says that she had murders with the Austrian dialect.
Her 3 y.o. little girl switches in and out of German and English with ease.
I remember posting something similar in the TV forums. My gripe was people who go "ooh, not my strongest subject, I'm afraid!" and laugh and giggle about it, reveling in their own ignorance.
If I was on a quiz show and something came up that 'wasn't my strongest subject' I'd be pissed off that I didn't know more about it.
What about the ones who get a question about The Tudor kings, and say, "Umph, a bit before my time."
It was before everyone's time, but SOME of us paid attention during history lessons, (even though we may not know the answer to this one.)
Why, is one type of slang better than another now?
The word is YES.
I know you mean yeah is slang for yes, but there's another yea.
I'm edging out on that limb again here, I'm not religious but doesn't the 23rd. psalm start, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death?"

Yes, and it's pronounced 'yay', so definitely not interchangeable with 'yeah'.
Yes, and it's pronounced 'yay', so definitely not interchangeable with 'yeah'.
No argument whatsoever Jules, that yea is yay, but the Wizard was quoting that "yeah" and "yea" were both wrong, the word should be yes.
I think we both know what he meant, whereas in the past people had used yeah for yes, they were now abbreviating that to yea, and still meaning yes.
People who open the bottom of crisp packets instead of the top!
That one really gets my goat, particularly if it's a big family pack and someone else opens it and then you pick it up and the crisps start falling out >:(
People who pull their car handbrake on without pulling in the lever or pushing the knob in first. It sounds like it's some kind of ratchet.
You'd probably love me then, my wife's car is an automatic and. I almost never use the handbrake, I leave it in PARK.
She uses the handbrake, but not in the the way that you think it should be done.
On the one in a million times that I leave it on a slope, I'll apply the handbrake too, but I use it in the same way that she does.
Gawd, I hate this expression! I've never heard a bloke use it, only women, usually to children or to each other.
Much to my chagrin, my wife has started using it.....

It IS a ratchet, and that's the noise they make. To me, pressing the button in before you pull the lever is the wrong way.
Yes, I hate to hear that. My friend has a son and a daughter in their twenties and they both call her 'Mummy'.
I call my mum Mummy (or Mother if I'm annoyed with her) and I'm 25. I don't see the issue she always has been my mummy. Daddy only comes out if I want something otherwise it's father or pops

If I'm super tired, I know I will fall asleep as easy as 1 2 3.
It's possible to be physically tired but mentally wired especially after exercise when you're body is shattered but running on adrenaline.
No they usually just say it after a long day. Nothing to do with going to the gym or exercise .

Woke up this morning and my back hurts >: (
White blokes born in Bromley talking in Jamaican patois.

And just 'Glasto' is enough to set my teeth on edge.

Since Hotmail changed to Outlook theyve been shit! >:(
What is the point?
they last longer when they are not touching.
Years ago you would buy a crate of apples individually wrapped in paper which would last all winter.
