As per the meme ‘I will die on this hill’ what are your lighthearted hills you’re willing to die on?

Mine:

Phoebe Buffay is the worst friends character. She is not kooky, she’s mean, selfish and always looking for ways to put the other friends down. Everyone is too busy hating Ross to realise Phoebe is a cock. I will die on this hill.

Red wine is dreadful and undrinkable and any drink that is given with the claim 'you'll get used to it' shouldn't be drunk... its clearly horrible.

Dry bread has no place in a bacon sandwich.. it requires proper butter and HP sauce.

Pineapple tastes million times better cooked/hot than it ever does cold.

TOWIE, 'Real Housewives of wherever' and its ilk are shit.

Les Mis is awful. Nothing will ever convince me otherwise and I’ll die happy on my hill

Else is a queen, not a princess!

The best film version of a christmas carol is the muppet one.

Chocolate should not be mixed with orange.

Tiger King is just weird, and making a murderer is really dull.

It’s called a panino unless you have two of them

DD and I are on this hill too. Pedantry in another language is brilliant!

See also: Naan. Not naan bread. Naan means bread. Naan bread is bread bread.

No one can give 110% effort, also no British person should utter the phrase "stepped up to the plate".

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 30/04/2020 21:39

@babydungarees I'll be there with you!

Milk is NOT healthy for any person that is weaned. The current scientists agree with me (pubmed all you like). There is more osteoporosis among people that drink milk often. Just because it was recommended in the 50s (as was smoking and asbestos) doesn't mean that science hasn't caught up with it.

Daenerys was always a 'mad queen', she was never likable and I'm shocked anyone else is shocked at how her character arc ended.

That first introduction when she gt into the scalding hot bath, right there that's when you know what shes all about.

Notverybright · 30/04/2020 21:42

90% of Hollywood leading men aren't even that good looking. They just look like ordinary blokes that have hit the steroids hard.

Pinkarsedfly · 30/04/2020 21:42

You eat soup with a soup spoon. A round soup spoon. Not a fucking pointy dessert spoon. We’re not bloody animals,

And yes, it does taste better, actually

Calabasa · 30/04/2020 21:43

pink I agree. . but I have to use a dessert spoon as a soup spoon wont fit in my mouth xD

For fellow lovers of barbecue based pizza; if you ever find yourself in Tulsa, Oklahoma, go to Hideaway Pizza and order a Smokey Okie. You will not be sorry.

Marvel Comic-based films are crap and Scorcese was right that they’re killing cinema.

Bakedpotatoandgin · 30/04/2020 21:44

Gift is not a verb, it is a noun. The verb is “to give”, or if you really want a tautology, “to give as a gift”.
Also, electric toothbrushes should be thoroughly rinsed and dried after every use, and the body should never be shared, ever.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 30/04/2020 21:44

most jazz (post 1930s) is fucking dire. In fact it’s boring, twiddly pretentious wank. See also reggae. And Bob Dylan (singing, his lyrics are better)
There is no place for butter on a bacon butty. Sauce is acceptable, but fried tomato dip is heaven.

JamieFrasersSassenach · 30/04/2020 21:45

It's specifically not pacifically

He's not his

James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser is the most perfect fictional man. Ever.

Silenceisnotgolden · 30/04/2020 21:46

Shakespeare is dull as fuck and the film version is better than the play. Nobody wants to learn about old, dead, white men (English teacher).

BruthasTortoise · 30/04/2020 21:46

Dave Grohl was only talented enough to be the drummer in Nirvana. Foo Fighters are overrated.

Regarding the macaroon debate.
This is a macaroon.

Correct! When I first moved in with DH he was most perplexed by the round spoons, he thought they were “from another country or something”

Ajollygoodwrap · 30/04/2020 21:49

It's you can't eat your cake and have it too, not you can't have your cake and eat it too. Ofcourse I can bloody well have my cake and eat it but it's impossible to eat my cake, then have it too unless I'm eating vomit or having a second slice!

If 'have' is used in place of eat, then that saying makes no sense. You can't eat your cake and eat it too. WTF! Whose drunk brother made this shit up?

Dumbledore is overrated. I saw no power there. I kept waiting for him to show this powerful magic everyone claimed he had. He's just an old philosophical man who frustrated HP and me with his wise old taunts sayings.

Harry Potter needed a slap or two to get his shit together. So annoying! (Btw, I've only read the book).

Rachel did nothing for me in Friends. Rarely found her lines funny. She's not funny but I like her.

I LOVE Ross bloody Geller!

Pinkarsedfly · 30/04/2020 21:51

Calabasa just tilt and suck.

Pinkarsedfly · 30/04/2020 21:53

BabyYoda isn’t that a fish finger?

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 30/04/2020 21:56

I know that I am alone on my hill, and I'm happy to be so:

I prefer the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice to the BBC version and have no idea what people see in Colin Firth.

Ajollygoodwrap · 30/04/2020 21:56

Coffee is either overrated or an acceptable drug. If the latter, someone please tell me where to get that good shit then or you can bury me right here

AccioWine · 30/04/2020 21:57

Colin Farrell ruined the film Alexander. Irish Macedonians, my arse.
