Daft and irritating terminology used in this industry

[corylus]

Telly shows like Axemen and ice rd truckers spoilt by over dramatic editing and voice over people.

And the use of the smallest unit of measurement to make something sound bigger!

If Hugh smashes through the ice with his gazillion pound load that's 100,000 mm long, he could die in 1 second!

Que the rubbish animated disaster sequence!

 

Then Hugh, drives on the ice as usual and delivers everything, as usual with no problems!!

 

Although we have to endure 20 close ups of Hugh's beard, his hand changing gear and some wonky camera shots with scary music!!

 

I enjoy these program's because the scenery is great and these are tough jobs, I know how hard it is trying to manoeuvre an ifor Williams through the town sometimes!

 

 

 

I know someone from Canada who was involved with Ice Road Truckers in the early days............DONT believe what you see!

 

Must admit I hate modern telly. It like just totally depresses me. Wouldn't lose sleep if I didn't wake up tomorrow morning.

Screefing!

I don't know if anybody has said it yet because I am not energetic enough to read 92 posts, however, I hate it when people refer to a bar as a blade.

Or are they refereeing to the chain as a blade ? Equally irritating ..

Because the utility Co's don't own the land, but have permission to run their infrastructure through it.

Ah. I see the sense in it.

Worser... "It's a lot worser then it was before".

 

Incorrect pronounciation of the word 'harassment', often by news readers.

 

"I am the first owner, I brought this car from new"

 

Sexed up......

[Goaty]

Hmmm, never heard of anybody use the term sexed down!

 

Opposite to worser is bestest.

IF ANYONE STARTS WITH>> TO BE HONEST IS LYING HA HA

 

And everything said after "but" is bullshit.

Biochar / Carbon Gold

 

Call a Spade a Spade: It's charcoal

 

Do not promote it by saying that ancient civilisations in the the Amazon used it thousands of years ago to boost the fertility of the soil (perhaps, might of done, outside chance).

 

It might have different benefits from charcoal, but it is still charcoal.

 

Snakeoil salesmen
