Sayings you hate

[GalileoAce]

I think it's used in agreeance to a negative statement. Such as:

"I don't think Bob is coming to Mary's party."
"Yeah, nah; He's a piker that one."

I could be wrong...the colloquialisms of society puzzle me somewhat.

" It won't kill you to throw some stuff away"

How do they know?

[GalileoAce]

Indeed! How do they know? HOW!?

[Blasted]

"Yeah blud"

Fuck you, pseudo-gangsta dickhead.

" It won't kill you to throw some stuff away"

Yeah, nah, it seems only Australians come out with that one. Australian sport commentators, who have a dialect all their own, are fond of constructions such as: "Yeah nah, at the end of the day it's all about going forward," "There are no heroes. The whole team are heroes," "The goys came out to ploy footy tonight [o rly? not cricket, then?  ], they all troyed their hardest, they all put in, but [the other team] were too good for them on the noyt," etc., etc.

Also this: You know you're a Tasmanian when you begin your answer to any question with "Yeah, nah," no matter whether you're answering in the affirmative, negative or otherwise: "You going to the pub tonight?", "Yeah, nah, I thought I'd check it out later on..."

Our sports announcers also come up with some idiotic shit to fill the time.  :lol:

"There's an app for that!"

shaddap. Take your overpriced crap douchebag phone and cram it in your ass.

"We are all the state (typical saying in Sweden)." Oh yes? Do I get 100000 kronor a month or am allowed to have guns without a permit or have a right to tax people?

"Double down". Yesterday I heard it from three different sources. What is with this? It seems to have no meaning.

[Yuri Bezmenov]

Double Down means to refuse to acknowledge a mistake and instead either affirm the mistake or do it again, to a greater degree.

[Calandale]

I disagree. Nothing about mistakes.


It means upping the stakes and pushing on with a risky policy.

Potato, Potatoe...   

[renaeden]

Whoever says "potahtoe"?

[Pyraxis]

English people.
