Be will you in a second.
A second ? One second ???
Off of”. As in “I got it off of Amazon”. You mean “from
Ah, gotcha. So it's 'I got it off from Amazon' then? 👍
"now look"
"now listen"
When 'answering' a question. It's not an answer, it's a command. Standard new age psycho-speak, designed to not answer the question, and avoid it and change the subject.
When you see it in politcos in the media, it becomes really obvious, and they are really over-using it.
‘I got it off from Amazon’ then?
That's a very specialist porn site.. JB would not approve!
This thread is so fun.
Using a term, giving it an acronym, and then failing to use the acronym anywhere else in the document.

Huh?
Now then….
er, now, or then?
fixed that for you
No, you didn't, you just disagreed with me.
No I didn't.
Now then
I work with 2 guys from Hull. Quite literally, every utterance is prefaced with 'now then' 😂

Use your body English on the bike... stay fluent.

What do you mean, steering? Are you a rancher?
This is niche, but when young soldiers refer to their beltkit/body armour as a 'loadout'. This isn't COD or Airsoft you weapon.

Them: Yes.
Me: Run to it and apologise for making it work so hard to replace all the oxygen you're stealing.
'Outwith'
I agree that I go out with my dog a lot for walks, but he's never *outwith* our considerations when we travel.
'Whereas' used in legal text. Meaning "it is the case that" and not the normal English meaning of a counterpoint.
And the biggest two that get my goat,
"Letting go" when the evil barsteward employers actually mean you're being made redundant being sacked, or otherwise tossed away because they don't give a sh1t about their employees and the impact it can have. Which ever HR arsehole introduced that from the Septics needs stringing up with a rusty cheese wire by their goods. Use the real words and cut the BS.
'Thermal Event' - when what they mean is a FIRE. Another Septic Lawyerism that should result in their bollox being doused in petrol and dangled 1/4 inch from the top of a very very large 'thermal event'.
Use your body English on the bike… stay fluent.

That is the standard greeting where I grew up.
Oftentimes I heard my headmaster at high school using that to say hello.
EDC - i carry my wallet every day so is it an EDC
Workaround - it doesn't work
Outside the box - you will be in a box if you say that again
Supply chain - business you buy stuff from
As such.

😂😂👏👏👏👏
Supply chain – business you buy stuff from
Whereas the supply chain includes not just your immediate vendor but all the vendor's vendors.
‘Outwith’
In common use in Scotland. I do have to catch myself from saying it when speaking to non Scotland-based colleagues though.
I still wonder if it is completely interchangeable with outside though 🤔
Our higher ups have started using the term Shark Tank for their prioritisation sessions.
It should at least be Dragons Den. ****tards
I find myself using "by here" (meaning is obvious) and "to" meaning "at", having lived in South Wales for 30 years.
As in "Where's that to then"
"By here"
"Tidy butt".
"To" just seems to help with the rhythm of the sentence.
I still wonder if [outwith] is completely interchangeable with outside though 🤔
My understanding is that "outside" refers to a physical space whereas "outwith" is more intangible. So you could be outside your car, whereas you could have a question which is outwith the subject of a forum thread.
Personally I'd just stick with "outside of."
Will use it on the kids instead..
At the risk of repeating myself,
How is your movement vocabulary? Is it good, or are you a bit of a (movement) dunce?
Are you a parkour king or queen, or do you make Mr Bean look athletic?
pretty sanguine about most of this stuff, however.....Unexplainable.
The fires of hell and eternal damnation shall consume the immortal soul of the prolapsed colon of a human being that utters such blasphemy before I.
Ooh! That’s just reminded me of one of my all time rage inducers. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you unputdownable. An utter mangling of existing words to make something truly abhorrent.
@robertajobb Legitimate usage of thermal event involves electronics with silicon components. If allowed to persist there is usually a short period of magic smoke followed by failure of the equipment.
'If that makes sense', yes it would make sense if you spoke proper farkin English.

“Lean In” seems to be gaining significant attention in my workplace at the moment. As in “let’s collectively lean in to the problem.” Arse oils.
