Words that get on your nerves

I’ve just looked at the BBC news website and at the top of the page are three articles about this Super Bowl. Ahead of and above any British news.

I don’t even know which sport this Super Bowl is about? Netball? (what the Americans call basketball)? Football? (what the Americans call soccer)? Or giant goldfish?

 

Interestingly and more appropriately in the 6 Nations Rugby; Ireland could be on for a "three peat" just another 4 matches to win.

 

Surely it should be a rerepeat.

 

You mean a burp?

 

SuperBowl - the NFL - National Football League - American Football - annual final. Fascinating game, if long-winded, complicated, brutal and challenging.

 

Nah sorry, if I want to see a bunch of men knocking the Rubia tinctorum out of each other I can do it for free any closing time round here.

 

The use of the word "wrong doing" which is now often used to describe an illegal action. The constant " I apologise " when someone has just been caught out but isn't the least bit sorry for what they have said/done. At the opposite end, the word "hypocrisy" isn't used often enough.

 

Saying sorry makes it all better, no?

 

MP's from all parties.

 

"""ASK""" some folks no clue how to pronounce it.

 

Someone I know always referred to certain people as Near-do-wells not sure how you spell it, but it always got a laugh.

Mostly they were just Wrong-uns

 

Ne'er do well? Just cuts out the 'v'? Known in this house as lowlives ;-)

 

Its not a term often used around building sites and those kind of places hence the laughs, we usually used other terms that cant be used here.

Thanks for the proper spelling.

 

The term 'Ne'er do wells' always makes me think of Fagin .
