When I'm asked, as a greeting, if I'm alright my usual response is 'I've always thought so' :-D :-D

'Simply English' by Simon Heffer - an essential read for anyone who cares about the language & wants to use it correctly.

That reminds me; the other day somebody asked me if I was alright. I said "no; only down one side". :-D

What about when people passing you in the street say "alright?" and don't bother to wait for an answer?

One expression which sets me off is,Do you know who I am, my reply is usually,Why? have you lost your memory? or I hope not. :-D :-D

when someone walks up and says........... "I don't mean to interrupt......."

and does exactly that!


This happened tonight........ and I said LOUDLY....... we're used to you doing that....... and it went right over his head. Rude man.

Within 30 seconds everyone but one (the person he collared) had left the area.

:-P

A couple more: 'eyeballing' someone instead of seeing them.'having dialogue' instead of talking."...
Lol KTLC.

AMAZING!...........is used over and over again! 'that was AMAZING, 'she/he is AMAZING 'the food was AMAZING.

Truth is that whatever/whoever is being described as amazing usually isn't!..in your eyes anyway.

When people trail off or don't finish a sentence like the last word is or........
Or they say going to a car boot, not car boot sale. :-P

"not on my watch" - what's that all about? :-S

Sorry Claddagh I used the awesome word on a thread ;-) :-D

Edit...sorry to Sheila in Wilts too :-D

LOL...very true...you is sooooo clever :-D :-D

I had to think about your reply for a minute there,
senior moment...think I'm losing it some days :-D :-D

I've never heard you say anyfink Emma :-D :-D :-D

Island have you every heard me moaning or ranting :-)

Well h'ackchooly, me fred was about people who conclude a perfectly reasonable comment with 'rant over' when they haven't had a rant LOL
It comes across as 'this is what I think but as I'm really timid please don't draw attention to my post'

If you wanna have a rant, have a rant :-D no need to apologise.

But hey, if anybody wants a moan, have a moan. :-D :-D

What a bunch of moaners.

Rant over.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> runs like hell before I'm attacked ;-)

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh well you cant please everyone :-D :-D :-D ;-)

Multiple exclamation marks :-0

Anyone, when asked a question replying 'So'.
For example
'What's the weather going to be like?'
'So, it will rain in the Midlands'

NOOOOOOOOOO

'So' implies you're going into further depth about something you've previously said - But you haven't said anything!! :-| :-| :-|

In this case, the 'thought word' (ie what am I going to say next?) is WELL

Calling children "tots"and calling foods "treats".
