Off Topic The What kind of ****ery is this? thread...

Is ****ery even a word?
Having officially joined the grumpy old men brigade I'll idle away some of my time reading through this thread at some point and no doubt add my tuppence worth, being opinionated as well as grumpy.
One thing I can say really pisses me off is the increasingly crazy, nonsensical hyperbole of this world where new superlatives are constantly invented as existing ones become diminished by overuse. Massive has been so overused we now have 'mahoosive' presumably being bigger than massive!
How those powerful emotions of love and hate have been reduced to discussions regarding the merits of food at MacDonalds!
We now have to feel passionate about things we like or enjoy. Anyone noticed how many job adds are now looking for people who have a passion for whatever.
To work in a shop one has to have a 'passion' for retail work. I work part-time in Tesco and I neither 'love' my work nor have a 'passion' for it. Whilst I do actually enjoy it, keeps me busy in my old age, and I do it well it's just a ****ing job that brings in a few pennies. I claim the right to reserve my 'love' for the important people in my life, and I hate nothing. Hate is too powerful an emotion to use glibly.

 

An awful lot of words come from someone using them for the first time and a lot of them find their way into the Oxford English dictionary. I'm not attempting to educate you here Sir, far from it, as I can tell from your post I'm far less well educated than your good self.

I first came across the word '****ery' on an album track by Amy Winehouse, called Me & Mr Jones and you wouldn't believe how soulfully and beautifully she sings that line "What Kind of ****ery is this?"

So a little plagiarism on my part.

I do hope no offence was taken and if so, I apologise unreservedly.

Edit : I've never heard of the word "Mahoosive", I expect you have Grandchildren.

 

Ooooh I love it. Amber Nectar used to have a thread called "Little things that piss me off" which was an excellent read, so glad to see an equivalent on here. Moan away everyone!

 

The introduction of religious gestures by footballers when they enter / leave the pitch or score.

In fact people who call them 'ballers'. Utter trendy fadges.

 

I don't mind the religious gestures but I'm ****ed if I'm going to put up with rocking a ****ing baby when you score.


Or a finger to the mouth 'shush' (Yes, that includes you KLP).


Or kissing the badge.


Or refusing to celebrate cos you used to play for the oppos.

 

I hate people who use the term “grumpy” when they are not a patch on my “miserable”.

 

One thing I never understood was that seemingly impersonating a Gorrilla thing.

You know, repeatedly punching the air, whilst going ooh ooh ooh.

It seemed racist to me, but It can't have been as black players often used to do it.

Genuine question.

 

The term ‘Player of the match’.

Not MOTM anymore, it’s …….POTM.

Just ****ing do one, silly bastards.

 

People who pick up their dog’s **** with a bag…then leave the bag in a tree!

 

People who don't pick up their dogs **** with a bag and just leave it where it falls.

 

Oh ffs, that can't possibly have happened

 

Well obviously she didn't put the dirty side to her nose.

 

Have Humberside Police lost control of Beverley tonight?

But it's OK, it's only horse racing, so move along please nothing to see here....

 

Castro will be along any minute to update you on that one.

Every year, without fail.

 

well the daily fail have already dredged about 15 articles on ladies day so far, this will give them a few more articles to post.

 

If it was a regular football event causing so much trouble every time, they'd ban it. As it, they'll just have a clamp down at the next meeting, and it'll fizzle out again...until next ladies day, when it'll be the same again.

I bet the Racecourse Police bill is lower than City's.

 

Few can expect the 6 o clock knock after this I reckon,

They're not real racing fans,

 

Whoops! Got triggered by the HDM headline - merge pls
