Toggie88 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The use of the term 'snowflake'. Anyone who uses it makes me assume they're probably uneducated and right wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdust Caesar Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I hate the saying "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." It's not even close to being truthful. "The fact that..." I hear this all the time now, it's not needed, e.g. Hearts recent slump is due to the fact that they have lost several key players. Just say Hearts recent slump is due to them losing several key players, there is no need to say "the fact that". It's started to creep into my language, much to my annoyance.

Dinger Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 when a keeper makes a save and the commentator says "he just about saved it" or "he just about got a hand to it" no he DID save it / get a hand to it, there is no "just about" in that scenario.

Especially the type that might tell you something like you've got to work 10 days on the trot. It 'fair rips my knitting', which is another one. I sent a few emails at work today whuch I concluded with 'kind regards'. This isnt a phrase Ive ever used before but seen it on this thread and thought Id give it a whirl.

Lobey Dosser Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 People who say they "killed it" or "smashed it". When folk say "you've won the internet today". Arseholes who use yourself and myself instead of you and me. When I am in power the abuse of the reflective pronoun will be punishable by death.

Anyway, Merry Christmas!!! I think the justification for this is an algebraic thing. If you’re writing a formula where x represents a pound and you have five of them, it’d be 5x...I think I might have got that from an Irishman justifying his use of “five Euro” rather than “five Euros” many years ago, not sure.
