[NSC] NSC speak - but not on NSC

[Bodian]

In another thread there is mention of being 'NSC fluent', which led to Shropshire Seagull relating this story:

Re NSC lingo at work:
In a team meeting a few years back, I yelled "Fixtures FFS" when someone asked a question that had already been answered.
Everyone in the room gave me an odd-look and I really couldn't be bothered to explain .... retorting quickly to "Moving on ...."

Not long ago most of my team all received new smartphones. I immediately asked if they were Omsung Phines, to general bewilderment.

I'm sure many have done something similar - any other examples?

 

[Wozza]

No.

 

[Bodian]

No.

Obviously not!

I've muttered the phrase 'excuse if fixtures' under my breath at work before, but never let it out loud. Is 'Fixtures' a pure NSC term?

 

[Triggaaar]

No. I don't understand half of the NSC talk anyway.

 

[Munkfish]

Nope.

I use the term fixtures. It just arose every year in the off season and its meaning has become real to me.

Sorry if fixtures.

Sorry if fixtures.

Could we campaign to get it into some obscure English dictionary?

I have been known to ask "Sauce?" when someone has quoted something (normally that they've read on Facebook) as fact.

I saw "wheel loose" quite a lot

Someone must have some, Shirley?

I took my Pompey supporting mate to a game and told him, “We’re loose”.

He thought it was due to the previous nights beer and curry.

I just left it...... couldn’t go there really.

the other day is that something was 'even more cliquey than NSC' , if that counts.

I’m sure plenty of you have used “marvellous scenes”?

The other day at the morning work meeting I said one "spoke" more often than Ben's Granddad.

 

[Yes Chef]

I sometimes TEXT random words in CAPITAL LETTERS for COMEDIC effect, which I have picked up from here I am ASHAMED TO SAY

 

[Albion my Albion]

Oh, I sometimes say F'king Zutons instead of saying F'king *****.

What I ENJOY is how SERIOUSLY some people TAKE this phenomenon.

Yep. But I've never been involved in a binfest.
