Husband: "Nope, it looks massive" Cue divorce proceedings. Its much better if they word it different, and say does it 'make' my bum look big, at least you can answer honestly and say no it doesn't 'make' your bum look big.

Phoenix Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 13 hours ago, Moist One said: the amount of times I hear certain phrases in tv programmes. Currently watching Power, and have heard the phrase "no more secrets from now on". So annoying, the characters would probably never say that phrase. Agree. Also phrases that are in current usage, recently coined, but used anachronistically. An recent example was 'give me the heads-up' in George Gently, set in the 60's/70's.

An amusing little parlour game is to count how many times the phrase 'What's going on?' or more elaborately 'Will someone tell me what's going on?' is used.

I know she'll say " What do you think"? But if I don't say what she wants to hear, there will be no pleasing me. So, people who ask your opinion but expect your answer to be what they want to hear is something that annoys me. If you don't say it convincingly enough you get accused of being a lying b******. You can't win. Steve How Hard? and Pearl Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl Ram Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I'm like that with your Currys, Dreams & DFS's when they've got something in their sale for say £699.00 they say "only six nine nine" because they think it sounds less than six hundred and ninety nine pounds.
