Actualy's okay if you're saying something that not everyone would expect to be true, but in other contexts it's meaningless.

Actually...

So.

As in "So today we bought some ethical ...."

Usually uttered by a fuckwit to begin a sentence, worse when used in written communication to begin an email.

Fuckwits , each and every one of them.

Absolutely. (Oops, sorry.) This is especially prevalent among high-tech and scientific industry types of a certain age. And it's not just to begin a sentence. It's to begin every statement.

I find it's the young Silicon Valley types giving their talks riddled with "ahhhm" as if it makes them sound thoughtful. Makes it very hard to concentrate on what they're saying.

I could see them merging into a single word eventually if they're used often enough. Like "air line" used to be two words, then the space dropped out and the words merged. That couldn't have happened too long ago either. If you drive past San Francisco Airport and look at the big hangar off the freeway there's a big sign on the building saying "United Air Lines." Looks like it was built around the 60s or 70s.

When I saw the photo in the context of the conversation, I thought you were showing 'a lot'.

Well played, sir.

There are numerous posts complaining about "wreckless" behaviour on Boards.ie.

There's a lot of "alot" and even some "allot" instead of "a lot" on this board.

Some northern sayings that get on my wick:

"Look what you done / He knows who done this / I done it my way."

"I seen that."

"Them goes in the fridge."

"... that there."

And don't get me started on over-use of "wee."

What about Nordies using the word mind for remember?
What the fcuk is that all about.

Its one of those Scottish sayings that crossed over.

vote for her for President?

[Since the US Supreme Court ruled earlier that corporations are people]

Just thinking.  Since the US Supreme Court ruled earlier that corporations are people, does that mean that gay corporations can marry now?

I heard somewhere that the court never actually made such a ruling, it was just some staffer who made a clerical error when recording what was said.

Quality!

Yes, another favorite of mine.

If vegetarians are all assholes and all meat eaters are dead on, this isn't a very representative thread. Is it? So far all the abuse has been coming our way. I've yet to lecture anyone with the "meat is murder" talking point, and yet I'm being made to feel like I have to defend my dietary choice or my view of animals.

Il admit personality has alalot to do with it. Any veggies I know just happen to be self righteous, groovy, hippy fcukwits that love to advertise it or pontificafe about it. They be full of shit usually and think they occupy some sort of higher stream of thought.

See what I mean?
