My DM:

They say we should be photgraphing butterflies as they're becoming distinct.

They say you shouldn't go swimming for at least 4 days after a meal.

They say Baracko Bama will be in office for at least 3 trems.

They say of you pick a spot, you'll have a pigsfoot there in the morning.

Who the actual fruck are they and do they invade your life too?

gah

Our local radio station does a lot of that.
Also constantly refers to "The People who run the Country"- that would be the Government then?
"The Man in Charge of the Country's Money"- err, the Chancellor...
etc.
We are all very stupid, clearly.
Had to stop listening, it was bad for my blood pressure!

They are Top Experts. Or just some made up twats.

SarahStratton · 03/08/2011 22:45

I don't know, but I'm quite fond of Baracko Bama being in for 3 trems :)

TakeMeDrunkImHome · 03/08/2011 22:48

Am I tiddly or is that the worst spelling of Barack Obama I have ever seen. Or is it an "in joke".

LineRunner · 03/08/2011 22:48

Baracko is only allowed 2 trems.

They make a fortune with that Line Dancing according to my MIL

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 03/08/2011 23:02

I'd also like Brack O'Bama to get 3 trems Sarah but the way it's shaping he'll be lucky to achieve the proscribed 2 trems for Pres.

It's a hot night TakeMe - have another

EduStudent · 04/08/2011 00:52

Enough will never be done.

They don't miss a trick, according to my Nan. This can be in reference to anything, from benefits to scuba diving.

DrPolidori · 04/08/2011 01:08

Are butterflies becoming distinct?

fascinating. I always get them mixed up with moths, so glad there is is some kind of progression in progress to differentiate them.

DrPolidori · 04/08/2011 01:09

And I luv baracko...he's hot!

TalcAndTurnips · 04/08/2011 01:23

They is who one discusses with rustic type whilst leaning on five-bar gate, chewing on stalk of grass and staring into middle distance.

"They says that it'll rain later"

"yarp"

"They reckons that that there Cheryl Cole baint goin' ta get back with Ashley now"

"narp"

"They says that thar Ashley 'as an SAS chappie loik a minder and it cost 'im thousand quid a day, the soft shite"

continues ad nauseum

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 04/08/2011 01:53

In northern New England they say 'ayup' to whatever you say to them.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 04/08/2011 15:25

Apparently they say today that the summer holidays are feeling longer than they used to feel.

ffs.

MaisyMooCow · 07/08/2011 01:37

chaos great minds think alike! I was only having the same 'they' conversation with a friend earlier today. Who are They and why do we believe the majority of what they say ?!!

iscream · 07/08/2011 02:32

Pigs foot?

Thumbwitch · 07/08/2011 02:41

Chaos, I hope you're pished too!

butterflies becoming distinct? Classic!

"They" are Big Brother and the DM readers. I thought everyone knew that?

ModreB · 07/08/2011 12:16

And those people who pronounce that you are "35% more likely to get" some horrible disease if you eat/drink/smoke/drive a car/ride a bike

More likely than what. More likely than Stan from down the road, or more likely than a vegan scottish sheep farmer. Or more likely than someone who doesn't indulge in the said behaviour.

Sorry, ranting now.

I've invented a liberal 'they' for these conversations. You can see it really throws my DH's aunt. Are 'they' contradicting themselves? Who am I referring to?
