Who Thinks These Up?

It does what it says on the tin.

24/7!!!!!!

He was incandescent (usually said about Prince Charles)

You could topple off a balcony looking at the view and you could have a heart attack eating too much pud.

Be careful what you wish for.

A view (or a pudding) to die for......... as if.

Hit the ground running

Push the envelope

Wake up and smell the coffee

Flag it up.......

......boring, boring, boring!!

Nearly forgot the worst one!

Lessons will be learned.

No they won't and we all know it!!!

Grannyknot, I read your post too quickly and thought, What's wrong with being a shopfitter?

Right from the Get Go.......Eh?????

There was a programme the other night called something like 'Inside A Nightclub Toilet !!

I have to put up with this sort of nonsense (see link below) all day at work, thankfully I now know (having read the article) what a matrix is (I still shudder at the memory of the awful green screen movie) www.theguardian.com/money/2013/oct/22/a-z-modern-office-jargon?CMP=twt_gu

I also wondered the other night, flicking through the TV channels, whoever thought it a good idea to broadcast a programme called "Shoplifter and Proud" (I didn't watch it).

'pick it up and run with it' - especially when used when discussing complex situations that need a plan

Oh the Devastated word is certainly overused - 'She lost her purse, she was devastated' NO NO NO you lose a member of your family you are devastated, you find out you have cancer or your husband has a heart attack you are devastated!!!!

After a terrible event, friends & family saying they're 'in bits'.

No Brainer

Not rocket science

'basically'

"Gutted" oh, if only some of them could be!

Devastated.

"Hard working families" because they are apparently the only families who matter.

"Are we all on the same page" ?

Spits and spots of rain.....We're not children

And grass frost....Whatever happened to ground frost?

Weather presenters saying that winds are going to ease up, meaning that they are going to get stronger!

And those footballing clichés: sick as a parrot; and over the moon. And why do those making a big effort always have to dig deep? One of my favourites was when an athletics commentator at (I think) the Montreal Olympics, stated that high jumpers were achieving 'greater height in depth.

"I'll be (literally) gutted if I don't get through to the next round", as said by almost every contestant on the numerous TV talent / cooking shows.

blue sky thinking - what is that?

Let's wrap this up!
