About 'potato', no we don't, 'rax, I've never once heard anyone in the UK pronounce it as anything other than 'po-tay-toh', the first 'o' being pronounced as a short vowel, as in 'possible' or if describing theresa may, as in 'po-faced fucking bitch'
Nobody pronounces it 'po-tah-toe', maybe someone with a speech impediment, but no regular, native englishman would pronounce it that way.
Lets see...other sayings I can't stand..
'innit' -fucking chavscum speak.
'blud'
'nigga'...no....its spelled and pronounced 'nigger', no 'a' in the word, you dumb fucking ghetto cunt.
'brap' ('nigga' and wigger talk imitating the sound of a gunshot.) Makes the speaker sound like the moron they invariably are. This one invariably makes me want to introduce the speaker to an uppercut to the throat, to make sure they stop speaking like a twat. Ideally stop breathing too.
Management-type corporate bollocks. Too many examples to list. All that meaningless shitspeak they come out with. Always they have a greasy. diseased, slimy feel of dishonesty all over it, whatever the particular schpiel of arse leavings being vomited forth by some management type.
And PR fuckers. (no, not OUR PR, daughter of QV, she's a gorgeous, delightful, very attractive 'lil sweetie.), 'public relations' type PR fuckers, I mean. A slimy, lying bunch of subhuman bastards hired to put a 'positive' image out about whoever or whatever hired them, regardless of the fact that whoever did hire them are vile, poisonous, toadying little shiteating liars who are trying to put out the message that fr.ex dumping ultratoxic organomercurial or organocadmium waste into water supplies which are used to irrigate the crops of subsistence-income farmers is just fine. Not a problem, totally acceptable and the agonizing and fatal diseases afflicting the impoverished peasant farmers who eat the crops the water was used to irrigate are their problem, just some local pathogen and nothing to do with the heavy metal toxic slops they release into the rivers upstream.
(this has happened, several times, including some of the worst of the very worst industrial disasters in history. Its dreadful enough that a company is negligent enough to let such things happen in the first place; but after an industrial disaster affecting vast numbers of people, killing many, and condemning the survivors to a lifetime of incurable neurological damage and in the case of the japanese disaster involving organocadmium wastes getting loose and being discharged into the water supplies, the victims suffered severe damage to their bones, which became soft, porous and deformed, breaking as if they were made of egg shells. Their legs, their arms, their vertebrae all became so severely demineralized and damaged that those who did not die ended up bow-legged, forced to walk with a waddling gait, severely osteoporotic, their bones with the consistency of a sponge, and in constant, agonizing pain.
The japanese called the disease itai-itai, which translated from japenese into english, has the meaning 'it hurts, it hurts'. Due to the pain caused by the victims' bones turning to sponge, as well as their kidneys failing, skin irritation, neuralgia (neuropathic pain, which can be very unpleasant indeed, and its difficult to treat as well, being highly resistant to remediation with opioids. I have neuropathic pain myself, although not due to cadmium poisoning, in my case, its due a surgical fuckup when I had an operation to remove some bone spikes that had shattered off inside my knee, and were both hanging around in the joint, whilst some had embedded themselves within my patellar tendon, stabbing away with every movement. Either they had been broken off when I originally fell on the glass spike i fell onto, kneecap-first, with all my body weight behind it; or they were broken loose when I was recovering from the injury and was assaulted, my knee stamped on repeatedly, as well as my face, ribcage, pretty much everywhere that could be stamped on, punched or kicked was stamped on, punched and kicked in. Managed to get my pocket knife out and use it, which put to flight, the pack of cowardly fucking dirty chavscum bastard god-damned FILTH who had jumped me, with a gang of at least 20 or so, from ages of maybe 11-12 to at least 20yo, against one pre-teen to very young teen. Just because they think that kind of crap is 'fun' and sport, and partly because they HATED me, personally I mean, they had it in for me, specifically, because I was 'different', spoke differently, was VASTLY more intelligent than other children, and indeed many adults I met, they just couldn't even come close to conversing with me on my own level, and I always have found it difficult to 'dumb down' to the level of those who are not on my level. Oddly, I can easily adapt my speech and communication to suit those who have mental retardation, special ed folk (I mean, those who are spesh but not autistic, or not necessarily autistic at least, I've known people who were both.
Perhaps the ability to communicate in a way other than my typical almost-manic, hyper and high-tech, generally peppered with scientific principles, even if not discussing science, I'll tend to use a lot of technical terms, and explain things in a factual and highly specific manner; and I'm also a highly logical, unemotional thinker, for the the most part, which unsurprisingly enough, comes through in my speech. LOL I was even born with pointed ears :LOL1:, perhaps it comes from my having fallen in love with girls in the past, who were mentally retarded, which on three or four occasions or so, I have, and being the kind of guy who when I'm in a relationship, goes to a hell of a lot of effort to become what the girl I'm with needs, what they want, to communicate effectively, to be kind and compassionate, loving, to make damn well sure I turn them on big time when we are snuggled up in bed (or wherever else we might be making like a pair of rabbiits and,,-=,About 'potato', no we don't, 'rax, I've never once heard anyone in the UK pronounce it as anything other than 'po-tay-toh', the first 'o' being pronounced as a short vowel, as in 'possible' or if describing theresa may, as in 'po-faced fucking bitch'

Their legs, their arms, their vertebrae all became so severely demineralized and damaged that those who did not die ended up bow-legged, forced to walk with a waddling gait, as well as suffering severe kidney problems, ranging from damage to outright kidney failure, and peripheral neuropathy.
(neuropathic pain as well as nerve damage; I have it in one leg, the bad one, or rather, the worse of the two, the one that got a bit spike of glass driven into the knee joint after I slipped and fell, knee first onto said upward-pointing long, wide shard of broken glass with all my body weight behind it to force it deep into my joint. I had surgery to remove the glass, then later on, another surgery to remove some sharp spikes of fragmented bone which were part floating around the joint itself, stabbing merrily away, and part of them embedded in my patellar tendon, again stabbing away with every movement, irritating the tissue and causing the tendon to calcify where the bone spikes had been irritating the tendon chronically; either they had broken off when the initial injury was sustained
Or when I got jumped by a pack of pikey chav trash, gang of about 20 odd of the fucking dirty rancid little foetusfuckers, ranging in age from maybe 12-13 or so to 20 to early 20s. against one preteen to early teen kid. Stamped on my knee while I was in recovery from the glass injury and surgery to remove it from my patellar tendon and knee joint, was well as my head, face, ribcage, pretty much anywhere you can stamp on, punch or kick in, they stamped on, punched and kicked in. Filthy fucking pikey trash; may their families suffer and die in agony.
They fucked off after I managed to open my pocket knife and use it, bunch of fucking pussy ass gutless cowards, and just buggered off, with me in the road, left me for dead.
The second surgery I had, left me with peripheral neuropathy, caused me some nerve damage affecting that leg, causes me paraesthesia of a painful sort.
I have very little sensation there, its as if I'd been injected with a local anaesthetic. I CAN just about feel touch, but it feels horrible, awful sensation. I can feel pain, the anaesthesia provides me no protection from pain at all. Tingling, numbness, pain, and the pain doesn't respond much to opiate painkillers; with the exception, among those opioids I have tried, of methadone. Methadone has some activity as an NMDA type glutamate receptor antagonist, and such
drugs are well known for efficacy against pain due to nerve damage. Methadone isn't a strong NMDA antagonist, but the effect is indeed there, and it does help with the pain from my peripheral neuropathy, whilst other opiates, such as oxycodone, morphine, heroin, dipropionylmorphine, 6-monoacetoxydihydromorphine, don't, unless the dose is so high that it knocks me out completely.
Another phrase that really irks me, is when...'people' of colour use the word 'axe' to mean 'ask', it just makes them sound like complete fucking cretins
who really need to be burnt alive, because they are too stupid to live. I mean bloody fucking jesus christ with his lungs torn out and rammed up his chocolate starfish! its a three letter word. How the bloody mother of fuck can anyone be such a thick piece of shit as to be unable to pronounce a three letter word.
Its about as simple and basic as you can get. Kinda like the stupid pricks responsible for this rape and brutal sodomy of basic fundamental grammar.
Its the kind of thing that actually manages to justify the phrase 'stupid fucking nigger'!
