Another linguistic one. People who start their replies to questions with "Yeah, I mean..." What do you mean knobhead? Just answer the question ffs.
You could have ended your whinge, there.That welsh girl on the One Show.
I hate the word “veggies”.This is slightly off topic, but there are certain words and phrases that make my skin creep. Strangely, they nearly all have food connections, and yes, I am well aware that this is weird.
The worst is 'all the trimmings'. I can never bring myself to say 'meal' and the word 'juice' makes me shiver.
There. I have admitted it and feel better now.
She’s got too many teeth in her mush, her.That welsh girl on the One Show. Keeps going on about how her & her better half are snapping at each other due to the lockdown, However, a few weeks ago she said she normally left the house at 10 am to rehearse and did not usually get home til about 11pm. How much time do her & the better half normally spend together ffs
That is a good shout that, 'veggies'.....yes I will add that to my list if that is ok.I hate the word “veggies”.
It’s either “veg” (which works perfectly fine as a singular or plural) or “vegetables”.
I know what you mean, both my daughters sound like fucking seagulls, when they start yapping because every fucking sentence starts with like, like, like, like, like fucking like.Using the word “like” when they mean “about”.
“He was like 6 foot tall”
“She was like 30 years old”
“It was like 60 miles away and took like an hour an a half”
ABOUT, ABOUT! Even “approximately” or just “around”... but not “like”!
Ha! We like going to the U.S. a lot. Living in Canada is great, but sadly I feel your pain about the adverts, we are getting the same treatment, especially since about 80% of our stations are yours.
One of the worst programs for in-show recaps and previews is Gold Rush. I used to love it for the engineering of the different processes from mining, sluicing, and clean-up. Now I can't be bothered, all the getting to know them personally, and the man drama fighting crap does my head in. Waste of time.
Anyways, in North Am. a 1 hr. show after ads is about 41 minutes. Gold Rush has about 5 breaks with a 30 second recap and preview with each one, another five minutes, plus the opening, and ads beginning and end. There is only about 30 minutes of actual new footage each week.
On one extended show I saw years ago they said they edit from over sixty hours of footage a week for each show. When I thought these are the best 30 minutes you can come up with? That was the end.
They always pause when they say it so just interrupt with, “so a button on your head”.People who always start their answer to a question with 'so'.
Or sad nit pick pricks.People who pluralise “anyway”...
