Omfg. My boss likes to throw the line “it’s so rock ‘n roll” at random in a conversation. IT MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT. urgh. It annoys the shit out of me.

Shut them down with an 'ok boomer'.

pomenitul, Tuesday, 10 December 2019 17:39 (five years ago)

speaking as a boomer this seems an entirely appropriate use tbf -- all the more so if it works

it's FAN SERVICE season

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 18 December 2019 16:25 (five years ago)

The Rise of Skywalker has weaponized fan service as a way to bring order to the concluding chapter of the trilogy and that’s ok and here’s why

omar little, Wednesday, 18 December 2019 16:27 (five years ago)

omg, I just received an email which said
"feedback us!"

kinder, Thursday, 19 December 2019 13:29 (five years ago)

"Yer" as in yes, not your. Is yeah not informal enough for you? Do you even pronounce it like yurr?

smelt when used as past tense for smell.

Yerac, Saturday, 21 December 2019 15:16 (five years ago)

But "the one who smelt it..." is a classic.

i wonder if all the people who say “happy new years” also say “happy new decades”

times 牛肉麵 (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 January 2020 10:44 (five years ago)

and yet most of them omit the apostrophe xp

times 牛肉麵 (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 January 2020 11:00 (five years ago)

How can you hear the omission? Is it in their eyes?

Alba, Wednesday, 1 January 2020 11:12 (five years ago)

maybe 2020 will be the year the (correctly) hated apostrophe is omitted everywhere else also: let freedom reign (rain)!

TS: Happy New Years vs Daylight Savings

kinder, Wednesday, 1 January 2020 13:14 (five years ago)

Apologies in advance and, in way of explanation, I'm Scottish. It's that time of the year where I get annoyed at people saying Happy New Year before it's January 1st and, this will never stop being intensely annoying, pronouncing Auld Lang Syne as Auld Lang Zyne.
