“Let’s agree to disagree!”

This boils my piss, it doesn’t feel right!?

LastNightMyWifeHooveredMyHead · 20/12/2017 14:19

Picky tea absolutely - only ever heard it on here, which is fortunate, as ripping someone's head off in real life might offend Grin

eddiemairswife · 20/12/2017 14:21

Any subjective adjective put before your child:
"My gorgeous DS, my beautiful DD" etc. Just say DS or DD.

Davros · 20/12/2017 14:30

I hate "back in the day"

SillyLittleBiscuit · 20/12/2017 14:31

Pissed as a fart

HeteronormativeHaybales · 20/12/2017 14:31

'Main' for main course
'Bits' for 'things', as in 'I popped into Tesco to get some bits we needed'
