Words to say goodbye to

[Blue Hills]

You asked for it buster.

"carbon neutral"

I meant to type "in case" rather than "unless", noticed it and then thought the slight difference in meaning wasn't worth an edit.
I see that your venereal mind saw it as a contract. I won't be obliging. Am confident that my occasional tastes are covered by existing words. English is a rich rich language. Little new under the sun. Nowt so queer as folk.

Can we consign the word ‘phlegm’ to the big dictionary in the sky?

 

[Beebo]

It’s hard to describe, but when adverts refer to,
Your new car, your new TV, your new sofa.

It isn’t mine because I haven’t bought it yet, and I have no intention of doing so.

I delete all mails unread from wiggle et all proclaiming "new", ie full inflated price, preferring to read this place's found a bargain thread, at least 40 per cent off if i am prepared for the social shame of being so last week.

Crimbo! People who call the solemn Christian festival of christmas "crimbo" should be thrown in a pit with a hungry Eric Pickles.

Christmas! People who call the solemn pagan festival of Yule "Christmas" should be thrown into the Acid Bath of Cultural Appropriation

 

[Edwardoka]

Bisexual and anything in-between and beyond. Where have you been? You must get out more.

Gender is not sexuality.

Bisexual already exists as a word.
And I have no issue with it.
Or pretty much anything else when it comes to sex.

Gender is not sexuality.

 

[Drago]

Extinction Rebellion.

Can I head up an enquiry into why I can't head an enquiry into why fire fights are no longer about firefighters fighting fires?

(Or should that be firefights...?)

It should be inquiry. Soz.

 

[netman]

Do you by any chance have a definition of what it means?
I stress that i am not setting an elephant trap.

Edit, just read upthread that you dodged it. Don't think the big G would help.

 

[Blue Hills]

thanks netman - the second looks like a candidate for pseuds corner,

Do whatever you like folks with whoever you want.

Have a certain suspicion of "identify as".

I'll take you as you are.

The vast majority of folk are a mix of what the pedantic might like to label "male"/"female" - no need to create an argument about it - I well remember saying on here once that that there wasn't a massive amount of difference between men and women and a woman with an agenda scoffing.

Some folk like to create artificial divisions for a variety of reasons.

Enjoy your minds and bodies folks.

Back to the defunct words.

 

[Drago]

I don't have problem with it. People can live their lives how they like if they're not doing anyone else any harm, and I'm totally cool with that. No argument from me about the actual reality of it.

It's just the words used to describe it are medically and psychologically as ridiculous as "smart-casual" is as a dress code. In fact that's two more words that can go on the list.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Can we consign the word ‘phlegm’ to the big dictionary in the sky?

No. It’s too good a word.

 

[Drago]

Discharge.

 

[netman]

Literally

Used liberally but rarely literally. “I was literally dying of embarrassment.” No, you weren’t.

 

[matiz]

Misspoke, as used by devious politicians when caught lying.
