to think someone should know doggy dog makes no sense?

[Juells]

Heard someone (on TV) using this yesterday. "It's a doggy dog world". Why do people think this means anything?

Later (think it was on Antiques Road Trip) someone said they were thinking of changing tact.

Not rtft, but the other day someone in fb described her children as ‘joint’ at the hip made me itch a bit!

It's a quotation not a quote if we're being really picky...

I think I'd use Decorum as a name, then you could "exercise Decorum".

A moo point? It’s like a cows opinion, it doesn’t matter.

Sorry if someone already said that

Damn! You're quite right which is very annoying

I think I'd use Decorum as a name, then you could "exercise Decorum".

Been done already in the Jilly Cooper book "Polo".

Similar to a pp, I once read something a friend had written where she described being at someone's 'beaconed call'. It made perfect sense to me and I thought I'd been incorrectly saying 'beck and call' for 30-odd years. But no, she was wrong and I was right 😁

Apart from that being annoyingly right, it has made me remember one of my particular "picky" things: "nauseous" versus "nauseated".

It's cheered me up no end (in a petty way) when someone's been banging on to me about the fact that they're "nauseous" and I've been able to reply - with my concerned expression in place - "Yes, you obviously are".

With the reading Vs pronouncing thing, I didn't equate segue with 'segway' for ages.

Nor did I. I know the meaning of the word,but in my head I was pronouncing it something like 'seeedway'. Ditto 'vittles'.

May I have a seat on the 'decimate' bench?

I've seen another long standing irritant today 'visa versa'

Me too. Except In my head it was 'seague'. To rhyme with 'league'.

Again, me too. Budge up...
