The English Language - Pet Hates

[Hades]

Hades coming out as a men’s rights activist is one of the more perplexing forum revelations of recent times.

 

It's possible to believe in misogyny AND misandry.

Only joking mate. You seem to have a bee in your bonnet about feminism lately, I find it quite amusing

[Mook]

Feminism is a load of bollocks to be fair.

 

Right on, Hades.

[scudger99]

Hoof - hooves.

Roof - rooves.

Poof.

Comes from waking up to the realisation that most of my problems arise from the lack of strong patriarchal figures in my family history.

[tokyojoe]

Twenty four seven. Just annoys me as it's always used as wild exaggeration.

[niallers]

Common one here in Ireland is when absolute illiterate cunts say "I'm used of it" instead of "I'm used TO it"! Grinds my gears it does.

[Aventus]

All those new words and phrases that people throw into political arguments these days: woke, gaslighting, cuck, snowflake, etc.

It was good when I could recognise a Nightcat post by the frequent use of the word cuck, before actually reading that it was him who wrote it.

[A Red]

I was like sooooo drunk

I was like look if you're going to to......

I was like 

 

Fuck off

[Trumo]

If they're from Yorkshire, it would be "I were like..."

I used to share a flat with a girl from Wakefield. She used to get annoyed when I'd say something was "dead good" instead of "right good".

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

I've noticed this too. Maybe something to do with age as I've always said 'three' or 'think' sort of minus the h like the soft Irish way but noticed younger people saying 'fink' as in that horrible cockney way.

I put it down to 3 things:

Thick cunts

TV

But particularly, thick cunts who appear on the TV

 

I’m like pol pot when it comes to the destruction of the scouse dialect, I could quite happily wipe out villages of wankers who say fink or free, especially when representing the city publicly, such as in a podcast.

 

Capital offences:

Simlar- it’s similar, pronounce the ‘i’s yer dumb fuck

Excetera - well done, dumb arse, to his means the opposite of what you intend

Daggerlish - if you cannot pronounce His name properly, then you are not fit to utter it

Mute point - me mate is an officer in the navy over here, and he droppped this one whilst we were watching the match yesterday.

[Moctezuma]

Why does it feel like there is only one other word for required (i.e. needs)? It's really fucking annoying once you realise how often it is used.

Depending on the scenario, you could throw in obligatory, compulsory, de rigueur, requisite, essential, mandatory.

 

But only if you need to.

[Jairzinho]

Struggling to think of a scenario where using "de rigueur" wouldn't, deservedly, result in being punched in the mouth.

[Scrump]

"It needs fixed"

 

 

Girl at work constantly omits "to be" from these types of sentences.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Agreed, mouth punching is the de rigueur response to those using 'de rig... *slap*

[General Dryness]

"It needs fixed"

 

 

Girl at work constantly omits "to be" from these types of sentences.

She needs punched.

[Pidge]

Had an outbreak of agile speak at work in recent years and it's still mindnumbingly stupid to hear people use the term "learn" as a noun instead of  "lesson" (which is obviously far too complex and obscure a term for practical everyday use).

I think you need to learn them how to speak good.

Thanks numero, it's normally in relation to resources/cash, so essential us something I could use more of.

I say film as 'filum', because I'm Irish, and a cunt

There's a girl in a cafe near ours who thinks I sound Scottish (!) when I ask for my espresso, presumably because I actually pronounce it correctly (and not "expresso" as she insists on saying).

 

As for thick cunts on the telly, I heard the presenter on BBC Breakfast this morning say "200 year anniversary". 

Fuck you, Louise Minchin! 

(I like to think Naga Munchetty was shouting that at her telly at home.)

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Hearing someone (particularly an MP) pronounce "secretary" as "se-ce-tary".
