Got talking to a Texan guy in a beach bar in Bora Bora and he was basically just trekking around the world as cheaply as possible. I asked him what his girlfriend thought of him pissing off ( she was very attractive in photos ) and he offered ' I don't give a sheeee-it ' the last word taking about ten seconds on its own. It was brilliant.

Isn't Bora Bora incredibly expensive?

I can't stand the way Americans pronounce awful, they say it "offal".

Only there for the day , Rem , so never got an overall view but the bars didn't seem out of line with the likes of Barbados and a bit cheaper than Aruba ( 12 dollars for a pint of Heineken ).  The texan guy said accommodation was ridiculously expensive at the top end and he was in a tiny studio apartment with no air con. He also said he called it Boring Boring and unless you just wanted to honeymoon shag for a week in paradise there was nothing else bar water sports.

Talk of pissing on each other in bed gets less amusing when you get to me and the wife's age.

What I should have said was getting there is extremely expensive. My wife mentioned it so I looked into going and was looking at 5 grand just to get there.

In a long marriage its likely it happens metaphorically on a regular basis.

[Stouffer]

Go figure.

 

Go and fuck off.

Alright Bezos, not accusing you of anything

My eldest has just started seeing a girl. However, they aren't 'going out' with each other, they are 'dating'. Apparently they aren't the same

From about the age of 15, every time I saw my Nan, she would ask “Are you courting yet?”

All I got from my older brother at that age was "are you shagging yet?"

I think my Nan was more of a tea drinker than a shagger.

Same, Mams side of the family are Irish Catholic, that’s all I’d get at any family gathering. 
 

Apart from my Great Uncle Mick, he’d always say “Ignore all that guff, spread your seed in as many fields as you can and come back in a few years to see which is the best crop”.

And if you had been courting for more than a week the question became "are you going to give us a do?"

Her 9 kids may tell a different story.

That's very much a southern way of saying it. Don't hear that too much elsewhere.

“We got this” is my latest blood boiler. Every fucking marketing cunt in this country seems to have stuck it in their adverts recently. And I don’t watch adverts so that shows how fucking ubiquitous that shit must be. Can’t begin to describe how much I despise hearing it in a shitty bland south east accent.

Yeah that one really has permeated into everyday British language, as has the execrable 'I/We got your back'?
