Laterally stiff yet vertically compliant

On the TDF just now,

"This is the man who's laid the foundations... but can he build the house?"

I'm frankly surprised that the TV survived.

Can I get a large, skinny, extra-hot hazelnut latte (pronounced laaa-te)?

Just ask for a blooming coffee!

"Hard-working families" "who do the right thing and want to get on" -

in the sense of everyone the Tories imagine to be inside their tent pishing out, all over the poor, the sick, the disabled and the unemployed - all those whom the hard-working are but one adverse life incident away from being among.

Is that worse than "we're all in this together" (when said by somebody who really isn't in this at all)?

I quite like the verbalisation of some nouns. It can allow for economy of speech.
You must bloody LOVE the nounification of verbs (or participles) then:

"Thanks for the invite" 🙄

Personally, scaredypants, I couldn't give two shits. You roll your eyes at "invite" as a noun? 😆 Blow the cobwebs out of your fanny dude.

Hearing that in conversation raises my hackles.

" ... linked in ... ". Which I am pretty sure a few years ago would have been have you spoken to X in department Y about this?

"... socialise ...". What do other people think of your crazy arsed idea?

"... topology ..." Oh so you mean shape? Actually I am guilty of using this one a lot, I am also prone to use isomorphism and homomorphism, inter and intra, homogeneous and heterogeneous. Nothing beats a maths geek working in a modern business 😆

Twee made up swearwords on here make me shudder.

Twunt, cockwomble, etc., etc.

They're the equivalent to calling someone a ninny.

After scanning through this and agreeing with most my new favourite phrase is "Skillet whip".

"Mano a Mano" seems to be cropping up a lot lately, frequently used by people (twunts and cockwombles) who think it translates as "man to man".
