Just today I have seen per say (that one is really common in this site) and sand-script (Sanskrit) I always remember someone on here referring to getting a house off the cancel (council). But I love that one because half my family pronounce it cancel.

I've seen several people told to get off their pedal stools. Hmm

I was mentoring a very 'young' student nurse. I asked her to write in the doctors jobs book, that X patients needed U&E's doing.
She wrote 'User Knees' Hmm

What is it with “restbite”? I’d never come across it before a month ago, and have now seen it 3 times in as many weeks on MN. I assumed the first time it was an in-joke i wasn’t getting, but now i’m just confused.

I work in an office assigning shift patterns to workers.

I sent one an e-mail titled "shits for WC 1/1/20" Blush I didn't noticed until someone in my office started laughing at the group mailbox.

"I hate being taken for granite"

TreeTopTim · 19/01/2020 06:32

These are so cringe worthy.

TulipCat · 19/01/2020 06:44

I was came across someone claiming that compensation they had received was not "except a bowl"

Lalalalalalalalaland · 19/01/2020 06:54

Someone on my facebook saying she was about to complain to her mobile provider, she said they were going to 'feel my raft'

Me and DP still use that one now 🤣

SF1269 · 19/01/2020 06:58

I saw one, ‘there are lots of allegations going around about my son, and I know who the alligator is.’ Lol

DontBiteTheBoobThatFeedsYou · 19/01/2020 07:10

Hang on, what's wrong with "off his own back"?
It's not a phrase I use but it's one I'm familiar with and I can't see what's wrong?

Oh is it supposed to be bat?!

With regards to "part of the course" rather than "par for the course"
Is that part of the course actually makes sense to a certain extent!

whataballbag · 19/01/2020 07:12

High rate gets me

whataballbag · 19/01/2020 07:13

As in. 'He was very high rate'

Makes it sound like they're talking about a gigolo

yorkshireteaspoonie · 19/01/2020 07:17

Respite - some carers get a break when the people they are looking after get to be cared for by someone else for a while. Some of the people in my workplace often write on official documents that the kids have 'gone to rest bite' 🙄

yorkshireteaspoonie · 19/01/2020 07:26

😂 oh good lord... I would never have got distinguished from that!!

ThePurpleMoose · 19/01/2020 07:33

I've seen 'have to' written as 'after' a number of times since moving to an area where dropping your 'h' is prevalent, as in 'I'll after go to the shop later'.
