Guest GhostHunter Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 To keep in theme with other threads... What sayings/phrases really get on your bazookas... I'll start...and this really parps me off "Can I borrow a light ?" Yeah - like exactly HOW are you going to repay me that ? I'm still waiting to get all those "lights" I've lent out back - when I do, I'm going to be King of the Flame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 "Wur" when football managers mean to say "our" - half of them actually know better. Worst at the moment is "Pwned", yes "Pwned" with a P. To use it is to celebrate illiteracy. I'm as tolerant of typos as the next man, they are forgiveable and some are difficult to spot but "Pwn" looks effall like "Own". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To use it is to celebrate illiteracy. I'm as tolerant of typos as the next man, they are forgiveable and some are difficult to spot but "Pwn" looks effall like "Own". Pwned was originally a typo, in a game map. Think it was World of Warcraft. When you lost it said something like "you got pwned". I think it's fine when you're on the net, but I'd never use it IRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 "Time will heal your broken heart..." No. Actually him buried 6 feet under will heal it a lot more quickly. Broken hearts are notoriously difficult to heal. It usually involves a good few hours in surgery with highly qualified consultants and nursing staff followed by a drastic change to diet and exercise regimes. Leave it to time alone and it will surely only accelerate death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
