Obo? Guessing it’s not a really cheap musical instrument?

Worked out doggy dog on the spot, but what is "damp squid"?

Anymore eggcorns?

I was about to express how angry ‘another thing coming’ makes me before I read the last post.

Ok I’m doing a whole lot of x-posting today.

I’ve never really thought about slither/sliver, but that’s probably because I would never ask for a sliver of cake 😂

I know the phrase is 'damp squib' but I'd be lying if I said I knew what a squib was!

Must google.

Scandaloso · 30/01/2019 21:29

A firework!

Wiggle or wriggle?

In the context of room to manoeuvre it's wriggle. Wriggle room.

Wiggle is something different entirely.

“Two pear of leggin’s.” Grin

At least “two” and “of” are correct.

TheClitterati · 30/01/2019 21:46

I'm reading Little House books to dd and they are constantly using "farther" but never "further".

TheClitterati · 30/01/2019 21:47

Aren't squibs wizards who can't do magic?

@symphony
Its = pronoun (his/hers/its)
It's = it is (a contraction of 2 words)

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 30/01/2019 21:54

reallyanotherone YY to "wallah".

This is so annoying, it's "voila!" (sorry, can't find the accent on my keyboard)

Not bleeding "wallah" ffs.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/01/2019 21:55

It's not 'another think coming'. That's silly, people don't have thinks. It's another thing coming.
I am not wrong. /stamps foot.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/01/2019 21:56

And 'think' is such a stoooopid word. Who made it up anyway?

Ontopofthesunset · 30/01/2019 21:56

People do have thinks, OYBBK. Just have another think about it and you'll see I'm right...

OhYouBadBadKitten · 30/01/2019 21:57

I refuse to have thoughts about anything.
