But is he sufficiently middle class and pretentious?

farking right I am, you Palace knobhead.

 

[rich p]

And he might even return the favour and not point out that you are a prick either.

FTFY

Your not a prick (sic) - all part of his thick schtick

 

[rich p]

Mine is heavier these days!

We each have our crosses to bear.

Mine is heavier these days!

This too shall pass.

Don't you hate it when people talk in biblical phrases!

 

[rich p]

No but I am a classless salt of the earth type, so I can get away with it.

Classless is far too strong - 'lacking in class' would be as far as I'm prepared to go

Your invitation for some poncey aubergine concoction round @rich p's is on the way. He just adores entertaining. And he might even return the favour and not point out that you are a prick either.

What's wrong with aubergines?

"Chobble" - To eat chocolate with much noise and slobbering.

I really like chobble, a welcome addition to the lexicon.

 

[glasgowcyclist]

What about when people write words to represent sounds they'd make in real life. "Sigh" seems to be a common one online i.e. I have no problem with "Every time I read this it makes me sigh." but I can't stand "Sigh. We've been through this before". I hate "nom nom nom" too for similar reasons.

 

[Ron-da-Valli]

"I have no clue" What you should be saying is "I have no idea"!!!!

 

[Spinney]
