‘my ghetto’ you’re from a middle class, suburban breeding ground
This is called irony or sarcasm.

Not in the context I was referring to. ie the youth of today. Actually, that’s another phrase I’m not overly keen on

I can’t say I’m a fan of…’years of age’, as in, “since Bob was 12 years of age”
That makes me wince each time I hear it.

Use of specific words or phrases already in fairly widespread use hasn’t been funny in itself since bum & boobies before I left junior schoo

Unless taken out of context… Isn’t that one of the mainstays of humour?

If you’re repeating a neologism for comic effect, aren’t you implying that you and your audience are superior to those that might use it in good faith?

Quite possibly. It depends what it is.

Not that different to saying ’12 years old’ is it, logically speaking?

molgrips – I didn’t think logic was in question here, it was about dislike of certain phrases

Logic is everything.

Live long and prosper.

“we are pregnant”

****, that’s annoying!!

At the moment its Masterchef speak from normal folk

Urgh – “I want to take my cooking to the next level” WHat the hell does that mean?

Unless you’re Queen Victoria, presumably.

Urgh – “I want to take my cooking to the next level” WHat the hell does that mean?

A cook expressing his/her earnest desire to move out of a basement flat.

quick thread hi-jack but Mrs yunki goes gooey at the merest hint of Greg Wallace..

Last night I feared that I may lose her forever.. after the amiable rotund geezer literally oinked with delight when he heard the menu that was being prepared..

anyone else suffering a similar fate should take note..
Just remind her that at the same time as Greg is oinking.. she shouldn’t forget that his little Mauricio from ‘Shallow Hal’ tail is probably going ten to the dozen too..

infatuation completely cured..

WHat the hell does that mean?

It means I want to get a lot better. Did you really not understand? Or are you just being needlessly annoying to make yourself feel important? Are you struggling against a tide of change and uncertainty and you can only cling to the driftwood of your own sense of rectitude? 😉

by and large some of you need to be tret with a chill pill like innit ………………………………grrrrrrrrrrrrr

‘Who knew’ that’s a fist clenching one for me.

Also the word ‘brifters’. Ergos or STI’s not brifters, when something has a name why call it something else?

Heard some wonderful ones on the train home last night. A bunch of braying City boys who’d clearly been on some sort of a Business Bullshit Seminar were nauseating at each other to a quite staggering degree.

“I’ve been literally working 24/365”

“we need to upthink the sales strategy”

“shall I reflect back my key learnings?”

I couldn’t help sniggering at their self-important cobblers, but I can forgive them all of that for one priceless gag. One of them mentioned that they were moving some processing work to Dresden. I’m sure it was a well-worn joke in their office, but I’d never heard the term ‘Krautsourcing’ before…..
