    “off of”
    and
    “for free”.

    “oh wants a occurring” I have never heard anyone use this. It doesn’t even make any sense.

    that and any form of Three Letter Acronym – always organisation specific and, IME, always specific billocks…….

    Like IME, for instance? 😉

    ‘titanium goodness’, ‘carbon fibre goodness’ etc, always accompanied by that inaudible but unmistakable gut-churning licking of the lips thing. Just ****’ yuk, that’s all.

    Oh, and people who insist on pretending to be Shakespearian on forums – ‘T’was..’ ‘T’is…’ Would you say that to your mates? No. So why when a keyboard’s sat in front of you do you feel the need to pretend you’re in a medieval costume drama, eh?

    And of course, the ultimate: ‘Trusty steed’. Bwwweurgh…

    ‘sat’, when used in the wrong context eg ‘when a keyboard’s sat in front of you ‘

    I think that was intentionally ironic…

    ‘sat’, when used in the wrong context

    wrong context ? It’s metaphorical and also engagingly brief.

    I’m so sorry AndyP. How about, ‘when you’re sat in front of a keyboard’?

    Do they need admonishing?

    I’m plural am I? Nice touch from a man clearly settling in nicely to his glass house 😉

    Er, isn’t it actually ‘what’s occurring’? Clearly you’re getting a bit hard of hearing in your stroppy old age. Or is it just when there’s a keyboard sat in front of you?

    Its not a phrase, but a word and its variants thats way over used by people who are desperate to be cool in my opinion:

    Random – as in ‘OMG that night was so random‘ – no it wasnt, you did the same as you do every weekend!!!
    Randoms – i cant believe we picked up those randoms on our random night out..you met some new people – big f*cking deal!

    Hows this for random – shut the **** up with your sh1te cool words!! 🙂
