Stupid things people say...

[William Darby 0]

Reading another thread, and the habit some people get into by saying stupid phrases like 110%.  What other stupid phrases to people use, which are in effect plainly daft?This is totally true.  I once heard somebody say ''I sweat blood at work 24/7 fu***ng 6 days a week''

what gets me is when footballers and pundits use really bad english and use the wrong word ins the wrong place:

''the lads did good today, i thought we all done really well''

When you lose something...."well, where did you have it last?! If i knew that i would not have lost it!

And

When you have told someone you are going on hol or have been they say "been/going somewhere nice?""What can you say!

"Oh i thought i would go to a sh!t hole this yr!"

And when you find it some bright spark will tell you these things are always in the last place you look.

Or my mum when I was a kid..

"Do you want a smack".....er no!.

Or "if you fall over and break your legs don''t come running to me".

When, i was younger, and we''d go on holiday and i''d argue with my sister, my dad would shout "Someone''s going to get a smack". I didn''t like him saying someone, because it always me, yet saying someone was leading me into some false hope that he meant my sister. He never did.

Some of my friends collect stupid sayings:"I do not know what Cornwall is""What is a tale of two cities about, is it about one city?""I always give one million percent." - Michael Spillane.  That is the equivalent of ten thousand normal people - saurely that would be enough to win a football matchc on your own?

My mum used to say ''''for gods sake pick your feet up'''', or the classic, ''''just you button your lip'''' [:D]

Would OF.  You cannot OF something.  Apparently you should''VE paid attention in school, and maybe you could OF learned something.  There is no such thing as would of could of or should of.  It''s should HAVE or should''ve. It''s part of a complex verb.  Of is not any sort of verb.

 

of of me do, you know I of you.
