Lol, remember when the police seized all their material because of that song? Did them under the obscene publications act IIRC.

Best example I can think of is people saying "For all intensive purposes" when they mean "To all intents and purposes"

Ah I'm not the only one who has noticed that

I'm trying to think of similar ones, I'm sure there are many.

I think it was the schoolgirl line that offended most

My favourite song of theirs has to be Woman ..... so much truth in that song lol.

Anyway a phrase that used to annoy me was "spare cigarette" when I was a smoker. There is no such thing as a "spare" cigarette, it is not like a spare tyre for use in emergencies. Every single cigarette in the packet was purchased with the intention of it being smoked, none are "spare".

"scuse me Mate, gotta spare cigarette".
"no" *long drag on a cigarette* "I don't smoke".
*seriously confused spotty teenager lost for words*.

I seem to end a lot of my sentances with 'didn't I'. I annoy myself by doing it!

I really hate the way some people's voice's go up at the end of every sentance, like their asking a question! Makes me so angry!

I know what you mean, I've heard Chris Moyles doing this and a few other people on TV. My sister also started doing it a while ago so me and my brother started doing it to take the micky

The one I hate the most is "a much of a muchness"

Whats the deal with that ? Makes no sense at all.

It means average, nondescript, nothing to write home about. It is a common enough expression and is the sort of thing that gives the English language its richness which other languages lack.

I recall this being discussed many years ago and the origin is apparently Australian TV Soap.

Have to agree with probably a lot of people, i hate it when people as arrrr that was sick., or thats gash.
When i first heard people saying it, it didnt sound right, so im never going to use it.

Gash is fine as long as it's in the context of a female's undercarriage.

Just been talking to my Sister and a friend of hers. This friend actually stated that "she literally died when she saw her new hair colour for the first time"!

How is this possible? I was literally standing talking to her after the fact! :confused:
