Is it 'hear hear' or 'here here'?

[halfwitpicker]

Anyone know?

It's 'think'!

It doesn't have to be grammatically correct - it's a play on language and a reference back to the 'If you think...' in the first part of the phrase.

It's 100% 'think', as explained upthread, but repeated here ... "if you think you're going out wearing that skirt you've got another think coming..."

My DD thought my FB account had been hacked when she wrote "Bare with me.." and I replied "NO I DON'T WANT TO GET NAKED WITH YOU."

I can't help myself...
I am no pendent (pendant?) but I do wish people would figure out the whole lose/loose thing.

It's neither.

My bugbear is the far more basic "Mom's" to denote the plural. I see it frequently, even when people are otherwise reasonably literate. What the fuck is going through the head of someone who just whacks an apostrophe in there?

One that I've seen a few times lately - 'The bells were PEELING'. Surely not?!

Loo cubical drives me potty.

Also rediculous and devine.

I think with a verb like pealing people get it wrong because it's so rarely used. Bells peal and people have peals of laughter but aside from that it doesn't get much of an airing!

Hear, hear, think and pedant :)

Another thing coming

Wiggle or wriggle?

I frequently see "been" for being and "he's" for his. I'm never sure whether this is a typo, autocorrect or someone genuinely believing these words mean something different to their dictionary definition.

Wiggle or wriggle?

Both?

The Thingers really don't think they're wrong. But.....they've got another think coming.

I say another think coming quite often , usually to a family member.
"If you think I'm tidying your mess, You've got another think coming."
Thing wouldn't sound right, what object would make you think again?

Definitely 'another think coming'. Although I am starting to doubt myself after this thread

Think, for crying out loud.

Erm, dare I ask what's wrong with up most?

There's uppermost or utmost. No upmost.

Utmost

There's no real reason for mixing loose/lose though is there?

I'm not convinced by thing/think. I've heard it (probably in tv drama) as a threat of violence ie 'thing coming'. I've never heard 'you've got another think coming'. I wonder if this is a regional variation or perhaps recycling what might otherwise have been violent suggestion? No idea but this use has surprised me.

In fairness, autocorrect does it sometimes. I'll gets corrected to I'll - see what happened there. Normally, I'll check before posting, because I don't want people thinking I'm an illiterate idiot who doesn't know how to use an apostrophe.

But yes, there are an awful lot of people who really don't know.

Wiggle is a movement of mild excitement. Wriggle suggests mild discomfort.

The original phrase is definitely 'think' but presumably evolved into thing because people misheard it.

Hear hear, and of course it's think!

Restbite care.
