Who Thinks These Up?

I thought a bad boy was a dog that had done a "woopsee " on the carpet.

Pucka! Sweeeet! Sweet as a nut! cheap as chips! wonga! and how many more I wonder

You owned the stage
You made it your own
I really want this,it is all I live for. (really? )

"Because you're worth it"

You've been on such a journey

WASSSSUP!!!!!

Whatever!!!!

Loser!

merlotgran I think your DH is so right to have pointed out something, which I find very irritating to say the least.

Oh yes, KatyK, the journey - which usually involves a rollercoaster somewhere along the way.

...of emotions....

.....about which I am passionate.....

Yes, it is the constant use of "journey" for everything from baking a cake, singing a song, winning a competition and even dealing with a serious illness. It drives me nuts.

'can I get a coffee?' grrrrrr!

and the perpetual way of talking raising the voice at the end of a sentence as if it were a question. Drives me potty.

Apparently that is called the AIE - Australian Inquisitive Ending! Heard that from Steven Fry on the radio. It seems to be very common nowadays.

OK I'm coming on here for my Nan! It's been a roller coaster journey but I've taken ownership of this post and I'm giving it 110% ! (You'll have to imagine the raised inflection cos I can't type it)

Be proud of yourself, Deeda. You've made it your own and you've nailed it.

Yes, you got your mojo back (fingers down throat emoticon)

I am ashamed to say that I used this one in an earlier post 'In the loop'

Thinking outside the box, who's flippin' box?

Very common it may be wisewoman but very annoying, especially when used by older people (probably watched Neighbours the first time around)

Nice to touch base

What you on?

give it some welly (that may be an old one but heard a lot on TV etc)

How about 'reaching out', 'group together'. Claiming that things are 'iconic' when they are clearly not!

Why is everyone and everything a guy?

"I'll just put these guys over here" - referring to a punnet of strawberries.

Even worse is 'these ones'.

I admit I do like the guy word, it covers everyone! not for inanimate objects though, agree there.

group hug!

'Giving the heads up' - being afore warned, I think

Just watching Tom Kerridge on BBC2. Not only is he cooking a joint of beef Bad Boy for Sunday lunch, he doesn't know that you marinATE the meat in a marinADE.
