Phrases/terms that elevate the temperature of your urine.

No it’s just “Tea”, drunk by the majority of the British population.
I don’t refer to your drink as “middle class **** tea”.

‘steed’ instead of bike

A roadie mate of mine never has a drink, he ‘takes on board some fluid’

I hope he has a drink afterwards. Getting bummed is thirsty work. 😯

Apparently.

‘Curate’ as intimately curated spice rack or some such asshattery.
‘Artisan’ you made some sh’@e wooh! go you :-/
‘Craft’ see above, also see hand crafted/handmade
‘Guru’ I’m a bit of a —-, no sorry you’re a —-

unless it’s orange and cinnamon rooibos obviously.

‘apparently’ when you should be using ‘allegedly’.

Wheel size debate.

“Will you stop poking me in the back with that thing?” 😕

“There’s nothing worse…”

Yes, there really is.

curate, ooh forgotten that one. Though how, I’ve no idea.

Rig? But no one actually uses that, right? It’s made up?

“I’ve sent you an email…”

(But I thought I’d stand, like a limp phallus in a brisk north-westerly, awkwardly leaning up your desk; or (even worse) I thought I’d drag your colleagues empty chair over & sit next to you, & rudely interrupt whatever it is your doing, just to tell you I have sent you an #@$*’ing email).

the term ‘glass’ that amateur photographers tend to use instead of calling a lens a lens.

I’m guilty of that, but it doesn’t just mean lens. It refers to any optical attachments on the front of the camera, polarisers and filters and suchlike, as well as lenses. If you’ve got a better collective noun than “glass” I’m all ears.

Builders Tea.

It’s specifically strong, well-brewed tea with not much milk in it. Again, got any better terms for that?

Re. Steed…I had to stop buying What Mountain Bike when it started referring to bikes as “sleds”, “race weapons” and “trail hammers”.

It’s specifically strong, well-brewed tea with not much milk in it. Again, got any better terms for that?

I would say “over” brewed (ruined) rather than “well”, plus you’ve got to have so much sugar the spoon stands up straight, but yeah I’ve always taken it to mean a specific way of making tea rather than a generic term for tea made from a teabag. I wouldn’t say that’s how the majority of people take it either!

“Well good”

…….makes me want to punch kittens

The term “Builders Tea” is used by middle class people to describe a cup of tea, made with a teabag, which has no Lapsang Shitsu pedigree attached to it. It does not describe the strength, milkiness or sugariness, which is why a builder will always be asked how they take their tea.
If your kitchen cupboard smells like a tarts handbag, then you know full well which camp you are in.

‘Sir, thou art a miserable study in pedantry – for which I shall right away take my shoe off to you’

^ My rejoinder to such buffoonery invariably comprises of very few intelligible retorts (prematurely punctuated as they are by profuse and steaming micturate) 😡

“but is not the same”

As repeated by the secretary for three weeks after the change from Office2003 to 2010.., 😕

It does not describe the strength, milkiness or sugariness,

Well i’ve always used the term as such, even if said tea is made in a teapot.

Oh, how embarrassed I feel.

A roadie mate of mine never has a drink, he ‘takes on board some fluid’

DING-DING-DING-DING

I knew there was something that really bugged me and that’s the one! Bollocks of the highest order unless the ‘fluid’ was somehow injected by a robot directly up your hoop into your stomach. Otherwise it’s a drink.

I feel bad. Feel free to use the term ‘builders tea’ with no shame.
For me a cuppa tea needs no further description, but I am a simple man.
Wine snobbery also offends my simple tastes. Sorry.

Rad – a thing plumberists put on the wall to heat houses

Gnarley – An American V-twin motorcycle if you live in East London

Dude – someone who has temporarily mislaid their motor vehicle, or alternatively – someone that (according to Aerosmith) looks like a lady

How long has “gnarly” had an ‘e’ in it?

I bet he takes on fluid using a bidon, instead of a bottle.

Redact

The use of “Enduro specific….” or similar shite..

The phrase which really gets me that I am hearing a fair amount at the moment (although it may be somewhat industry specific) is “throw up all over it”

as in “…if I put that proposal to them they will just throw up all over it”.

Revolting phraseology used by egotistical city boys thinking it makes them sound heavyweight.

“Roadmap”

Unless referring to a map with roads on it.

Exactly. Just say “plan”. Which is French for street map.

Revolting indeed. Reminds me of the very cute ex-ballerina on First Dates who kept saying “sh*t the bed!” Quite put me off my stroke.

Too right. You can’t just put “ists” on the end, you have to contract as well. The correct term is doggists (note, definitely not doggerists)

In work yesterday, I offered to make the brews (yes, a rare occasion). 2 x coffees 1 x tea. So no need for a teapot, just throw a bag in the mug…colleague says ” ah, so you are making a tramps brew” !!! Brilliant!! 😀

I’d imagine that the phrase. ‘It’s a good deal.’ Directed at doctors by Jeremy C*nt Hunt regarding his proposed pay changes, is peeing a few people off right now. It is me and I’m not a Dr.
What is he? A used car salesman.

Too right. You can’t just put “ists” on the end, you have to contract as well. The correct term is doggists (note, definitely not doggerists)

I frequently refer to dog walkerists as doggers. As that is what they are.

Black tea = tea without milk.
White tea = poncy tea, like green tea but not.
Builder’s tea = black tea with milk.

Simples

😉

Engage. ‘You need to see Tom and engage about the issues”

What you want me to see Tom and shoot him? Piss off.

I’m with thebees on builders tea. It’s a new middle-class term that grates on me.
