A hill you will die on.

Mine is amongst others that carbonara should only ever be made with long pasta, none of your penne, or fusili nonsense.

You should not need to pull your skirt down to stop your pants from showing.

Botox, lip fillers and the like usually end up making the person look older not younger.

If I go to a house where the hang is behind the roll, I know instantly that I'm in a den of iniquity. A place where behind the fridge hasn't been cleaned in years, the cereals are out of date, and the coffee is sub-par. And probably has "Live Laugh Love" signs. And coloured lights at Christmas instead of white ones.

"faints"

🤣

Ooooooh, I bet you put the milk in first, don't you! And the jam on top of the cream!

It only makes sense if you call your head your ‘tip’. I’ve never called it that.

Adanola jumpers and Nike socks over leggings do not belong on anybody above 25

I'm so old I had to Google Adanola jumpers!

Is that because it’s arse over tip referencing a man and arse over tit for a woman? That would definitely make sense and explain both uses.

But the expression doesn't say head, it says tip. It can only mean over the top of you, which is the tip of you. Maybe it was originally "arse over top"! Because if you think "arse over tip" makes no sense, how does "arse over tit" make any?

No, I just think people have heard it wrong for generations. Arse over tit makes no sense, unless your arse is somehow going to poke through your neck during your fall. It's referring to a somersault type of fall, where your arse does, indeed, go over the tip of you.

Chocolate combinations are delicious, with the exception of nut chocolate,

Snow, at least in countries that aren't set up for it, is dangerous rather than 'Christmassy' or something to be wished for.

Adult birthday celebrationa are fine, but the whole concept of age-focussed 'milestone birthdays' should be abolished, especially in the workplace.

I've never heard of them either.

Well Boris already survived it didn't he, so he would be immune and then the others probably felt they weren't in the vulnerable category.

It’s been around since the 1950s. I think they are both correct and tit does sound better! 🤣

So did I.
They appear to be just a non-descript sweatshirt, with a big word on the front. Nowt special.

I want to meet auto-correct in a dark alley so I can smash it to dust.

Really? That's weird. In my fifties here and still calling my parents' friends uncle and auntie! Would seem strange otherwise. But I think if I bumped into a former teacher I would still call them Mr and Miss/Mrs. Just seems part of their name somehow!

I totally would with teachers, but Ken, for that is his name, was Ken to me on the phone last week and also when I was 4. He's not my uncle, he's my parents' lovely friend. It's always been like that in my family, my sister's kids call her best friend by her name too. They have an aunt, me, and to be fair, they call me by my name too mostly, unless they want something at which point the wheedling auntie murasaki gets rolled out.

Don't bully people. This thread is about a hill you will die on, most people would have expected that/womens rights to come up. No, we will NOT ever take a day off. So get used to it. Maybe you could take a day off instead.

Former teachers are always Mr or Mrs x. I don't believe they have a first name, or a life outside school, they are forever trapped in that microcosm. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Because of the internet, everyone's reading each other's mistakes and so they catch on. That's why spelling and grammar is worse today than the days when only professionally produced writing was available - books, magazines, and newspapers.

Assume you're referring to self-published work on Amazon.

It's a sign of respect for children to call the adults in their lives auntie and uncle, though. And then it kind of carries on. I think your family might have been unusual in having children calling adults by their first names.

I'm in no way promoting! They're the hun mum uniform of choice in my area and my jaw clenches on sight. Their kids are always the shits!

All right, put your handbag away!

I agree. Teachers live at school and are kind of preserved in a weird timeless jelly circa 1990. I think they would vanish if they set foot outside school grounds.
