Not your FANCY - your DARLING fancy

HOW. MANY. TIMES

“PLEASE REFRAIN FROM DAUBING YOUR SOILEDS ALONG THE SKIRTING BOARD”

Never quite FATHOMED that one

I’ve just realised that @Soldi is just an E away from being SOILED

 

[ButterTart]

'It's very that'
'When will your [x]'
I don't understand what a roadman is, or why you'd say 'man's' rather than 'I'm'
Also basically every dance, challenge or 'POV' on TikTok, or why influencers exist and are famous.

I'm not old, I'm just better.

[big ron]

Why do people say "I could care less" when they mean "I couldn't care less"?

Yanks. @RJN to apologise.

 

[Alias #23]

Best WISHES

Or maybe best OF BRITISH

Brexit, Goblin meat puddings, Thamesmead

 

[Alias #23]

I quite like “Best,”

Much better than “Kind Regards,”

 

[Alias #23]

“Just a gentle reminder” always grates my darling fancy. Very popular with passive-aggressive, untrustworthy PAs

 

[RJN]

Dear @big ron,

I could care less that you don't like the phrase.

best,
RJN

 

[Pipo]

I always see, especially on Twitter, people referring to somebody else as "FAM", I assume it's another way of saying "friend"?

which brings me to this, people also calling each other "bestie" but in like a passive-aggressive way instead of using the old fashioned "bitch".

 

[SystemAddict]

“Snuck” instead of Sneaked.

SNUCK RIGHT OFF

 

[Alias #23]

“Snuck” instead of Sneaked.

SNUCK RIGHT OFF

Absolutely this. I must have an aversion to the “sn…ck/k” formation as I also can’t bear sneakers or Snickers (although I’ll obviously eat the latter). I’m less bothered by SNACK, probably because I find it quite amusing for whatever bewildering reason

 

[big ron]

Dear @big ron,

I could care less that you don't like the phrase.

best,
RJN

DOUBLE HATE

 

[GNL]

So true bestie.

Ron Jr is a right little gamer nerd and he comes out with all manor of shit. OP and sweaty are two that stand out.

sweaty

What?

 

[win_the_game]

What?

As in a person who is a 'try-hard'

 

[Pipo]

I love using sweaty

 

[octophone]

One of the younger folk in our office describe a Hallowe'en costume she had sported a couple of years ago as "a bit too iconic" and I thought "oh well, that's me off to the farm with all the other dead dogs then..."

 

[GNL]

Mid, which sounds like it should mean average, but seems to actually mean bad?

 

[Penelope]

Mid, which sounds like it should mean average, but seems to actually mean bad?

As in mediocrity!

 

[Penelope]

God you're such a MID BITCH @Gangsta Nancy Lam

 

[OutSynk]

Mid was a recent discovery for me but I always forget to use it on Moosy.

 

[vespertine]

CIRCLE BACK

Primary reason I left my last job, I'm sure.

 

[vespertine]

What does "Based" mean?

 

[GNL]

God you're such a MID BITCH @Gangsta Nancy Lam

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle, but if you can't handle me at my mid, you don't deserve me when I go goblin mode.

 

[RJN]

What does "Based" mean?

I wouldn’t say either, but I think it’s like calling something “sick”

 

[Nancy]

ON FLEEK

 

[Iguana]

LIT

 

[GinAg (39)]

Ooh I quite like MID.

When young people post skdjdjdk, or whatever it is. What is that? Is it just supposed to be a more unappealing way to write 'LOL'?

Is it Icelandic?

I've learned "muggy" from watching Love Island.
