Ed Sheeran sings about Buttstrings in our house...

There was a thread yesterday where the OP said that something was "part of the course" rather than par for the course. Gave me a chuckle.

Someone replied to a work email of mine once with 'nice swan'. Eventually realised they meant nice one...

I saw someone selling 'Shit Sue' puppies...

WorraLiberty · 18/01/2020 23:48

I never ever pull anyone up or say anything about someone's spelling or grammar on the internet because only wankers do that but I'll admit to having a silent chuckle, when I saw in my local FB group someone talking about the 'colder sack' their friend lives in, instead of cul-de-sac Grin

WarmSausageTea · 18/01/2020 23:57

I remember a colleague who was very aggrieved at being made an ‘escape goat’ for a (their own) mistake.

AlexaAmbidextra · 19/01/2020 00:58

I once saw that someone had been ‘put on a pedalstool’. You also see ‘off his/her own back’ a lot on here.

My lovely friend likes to put pics if her dc in new 'altfits' even when I say. Ah that outfit is lovely so she'd get the hint she doesnt..

Panpastels · 19/01/2020 01:18

Rest bite instead of respite

Bluerussian · 19/01/2020 01:21

Fed up of being an escaped goat.

Before he was an ex, exDP said “mute point” instead of moot. I politely corrected him but now I’m wishing I’d left him to one day make a tit of himself.

MadisonAvenue · 19/01/2020 01:44

People being called a Pre Madonna is one I’ve seen a few times Grin

MirrorintheSky · 19/01/2020 01:51

For all intensive purposes.
Per say.

safariboot · 19/01/2020 01:58

Could of been worse.

CloudonLegs · 19/01/2020 02:01

Yesterday on a Facebook post I saw someone had commented to discuss 'munch housing sindrome'.

@Panpastels rest bite drives me crackers too.
