Fixed that for you, sorry, it was bugging me.

 

Anyone caught using the term: YOLO.

 

In my eyes this is punishable by slow death.

I stand corrected, by the auto correct on my iPhone, then by you. Haha.

"Chogging down"

Is it possible to chogg up or sideways.

Cos otherwise "chogging" ud suffice

What is the entomology of "chogging" btw?

PS

Why dos the expression "going down like a lead balloon" mean badly

Cos a lead balloon would go down very well, actually.

.

.

"black ice",

no it is just ice.

On a black surface.

As opposed to "hoar frost"

X - rings when they are round :biggrin:

 

And "absolutely" for agreeing with someone is, at the moment, the most over used word in the English language and irritates the crap out of me.

 

Started, no doubt by the office brigade

 

Absolutely Dean:001_tt2:

From mainstream trashy media of current "coolness" OMG, god Jesus or derivations of.

When people have to use it every sentence due to lack of brain use it annoys me. Also its disrespectful.

 

I sometimes counter each time with "Where?" or "Whats its got to do with him?" most peopl soon get as irritated as I am and develop a better use of speech.

 

One lad was persistant and enjoyed being irritating. But he soon got mad and changed his ways when he would say God, I'd say " who?" followed by his dads full name. He worshiped his dad who was an army major or some title. He benefitted by vocabulary improvement.

 

Funny how people never blaspheme Allah or Mohammed. Buddha etc.

 

Oh and why do you have dogging(there is a whole other term) spikes on a chainsaw? Even if its because they bite the wood. Dogs only chew it.

......the number of times i have "Husky" or "Huskie"used to denote Huskvarna..(other makes are available),and even if "Huskvarna"is used,I believe the proper pronunciation,phonetically would be something like...

Hooskwarna...maybe some Danish speakers could give a definitive pronunciation to avoid further mis understanding....................

 

Yes but how would the Swedish pronounce HusQvarna:lol:

It puzzles me why everything is described as "amazing" these days.

"Look at that amazing tree", or "my dog is amazing" etc. If they could talk or drive a car it would be pretty amazing but just doing what trees and dogs normally do is not amazing.
