Apparently according to some etiquette guru men over 40 should not use these phrases: Amazeballs; Does this shirt go with these trousers; how much should we tip; don't throw me under the bus; does that make sense; was it good for you; literally; adorbs; I don't have time for a holiday; Is nice (Borat voice); don't leave me hanging; let's do some shots; no offence; I'm gonna sit this one out; Interwebs; blow it up (the exploding fist bump thing); is it that time of the month; bitch (to a woman); OMG; s'up; can we have a threesome; have you gained weight; I'm not a happy camper; to be honest. This is an American list and I left some out as I don't ever remember anyone in the UK ever using them. I'm sure that we can think of some UK versions and is it correct to assert that some phrases should not be used over a certain age? Most of these are phrases that are indicative of someone being a massive w***er, irrespective of their age. Some of them should result in a post-uteri abortion. Anyone who uses literally, except in a literal sense should hang.

What if she says 'no, only foursomes. No more than 2 girls, possibly just me.' As long as there's a chance of more than one girl, that's a risk worth taking.

Pundits who describe [a player as] a top top defender etc. Anybody else noticed this duplication creeping in to our summaries? People - mostly politicians - who begin every answer with the word 'so'. People who haven't got balls. Those who have erred on the side of criminality, who, when asked a straightforward question, reply 'what' in order to gain time to think of a brilliant excuse. The irony is, most of these people haven't the intelligence to do anything brilliantly. Worst of all though is the ugly woman's husband referring to her as 'sweetie'. Makes you want to puke.

'Literally' is a perfectly acceptable word, it's just the misuse of it that people should avoid no matter how old they are (although it can be quite funny when they don't!). I believe the word "literally" is now so widely misused that they've amended the definition to reflect the misusage. So now "literally" means both "literally" and "not literally". Literally.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |
