Overused words that really irritate you

[bhaexpress]

My thoughts exactly. Although I was initally disappointed about breaking up with my girlfriend from the north, I was consolde by the fact that if I were to marry a southern girl, they wouldn't speak the peasant language the northeners use.

Well I married a Northern girl (she came south and didn't want to go back go figure) and never had a problem with her accent. She lost it pretty much in a few years anyway. The only thing was that she came from WIgan and in that area they do talk pretty slowly. However, they speak nowhere near as slowly as they do in the Southern States of the US where they not only drawl very slowly they actually take a pause mid sentence as if to gather their thoughts.

Ah ok. My ex was from near huddersfield.

I had several problems-
the girl didn't want to go south of the midlands after uni- I didnt want to go north of London, and if so only to a big city.

I met her parents- the mum I could understand, the dad not really and the Gran might as well have spoken in Chinese for all that I understood. They used all these strange words for everything and called members of the family "our".

Give me a cockney over a northener any day.

northern tosspots.....A term employed by igniorant southern jessies who have never spent more than an occasional few days vacation or business trip north of watford and therefore are uninformed about the subject matter on which they speak.

Heh, I was BORN oop north (Beverley), but migrated almost immediately. And I make NO apology for being unable to fathom what the hell northerners are gabbling on about when they start going "nowt" or "owt".

But pass my thanks to your missus for clearing it up anyway

Oh and "Andrew Johnson injury" very boring!

Funnily enough a lot of the words Yorkshire people use are very akin to Norwegian/Danish. (Viking influence)
They used to reckon that you could put a broad speaking Barnsleyite in the middle of Oslo and he could be understood.

Only when he starts twatting the locals. Then they'll understand to steer clear.

'Colateral Damage' meaning Bomb damage is an example.

Collateral Damage is not the same thing. Collateral Damage is the unintended damage caused by using imprecise ordnance. Smart weapons reduce collateral damage, but they are damned expensive!

Pet hates of mine include the C word at football, other than in the song that starts "My old man said be a Palace fan .."

You should try playing wanker word bingo at meetings, it's really funny. All you have to do is write down as many of the latest management buzzwords as you can think of and give them to a few selected mates. When anyone uses any of them shout out BINGO at the top of your voice. Soon stops idiots trying to impress the rest of you with their superior, I've been on a better management course than you attitudes!

meanwhile I'm of to gaze through my window of opportunity at the blue sky...........

 

[sneakychef]

sentances starting with 'basically'

Thank You!

Played regularly. Great fun. Also had a sweepstake when the dept manager had to give a big presentation, on how many times he used the word "fundamentally" or any derivitive of it. Think the winner was 11 in a 20 minute presentation.
