AIBU to be sick to shit of all the bizarre hyperbole on here recently?

I'm bookmarking... I mean placemarking... I mean doing whatever that unnecessary thing is that annoys the hell out of everyone and breaks up a thread.

Literally... and with form

Janeymoo50 · 18/03/2016 13:49

What's hyperbole?

Caprinihahahaha · 18/03/2016 13:53

Hyperbole is the final of an American sporting competition. Teams compete for the HyperBole.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 18/03/2016 14:02

Ok, I genuinely LOLd at that.

What's hyperbole?

Let me find an explanation that you and I could understand in the context of such a magnificent and complex thread without major ado or delays like British Rail would be capable of in the aftermath of the government having to deal with the current situation with the opposition in differing corners and which has been greatly exaggerated, so, let me google that for you

LuisSuarezTeeth · 18/03/2016 14:38

Sounds like you have issues Lweji

Arborea · 18/03/2016 14:54

Scundered. Absolutely scundered.

Lweji · 18/03/2016 15:05

What I do have is tissues. For all the tears and snot the thread is provoking.

Ginslinger · 18/03/2016 16:01

actually I think the OP is being gaslighted

CountessOfStrathearn · 18/03/2016 16:01

I feel sorry for your children.

ClashCityRocker · 18/03/2016 16:04

I can't beleive no ones shaking with anger at this thread.

And I'm not convinced I've spelt beleive right, but autocorrect seems to take it...

TooOldForGlitter · 18/03/2016 16:06

I beat you to that one Countess Grin

meercat23 · 18/03/2016 16:07

You should absolutely report your autocorrect to Oftsed

Lweji · 18/03/2016 16:12

I'd report to Offred.

HeyNonnyMaybe · 18/03/2016 16:29

I have shameless double standards, as in RL I am frequently aghast, boggled or raging, but I judge people who I consider to be inappropriately devastated, disgusted - or as my dear old ma would have said, dizgusted - or those who are 'nearly physically sick'.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 18/03/2016 17:44

Shocking behaviour Lweji. I'm appalled.

Beyond was that a blatant single digit place mark?! [reported] Hmmmmph!

Grilledaubergines · 18/03/2016 19:31

This thread leaves me incandescent with rage and utterly incredulous.

What makes you think you can moan about hyperbole.... Just so Entitled

Flashbangandgone · 18/03/2016 19:59

You wouldn't be feeling this way is your partner wasn't being financially/emotionally/verbally abusive, so LTB

Flashbangandgone · 18/03/2016 20:01

hyperbole... Ooo, fancy word. Is this some kind of stealth boast?

sugar21 · 18/03/2016 20:05

Tut tut this is opprobrious

WhatDat · 18/03/2016 20:09
