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.

Now you mention it, I can’t find a picture where it doesn’t look like a fish finger but it is a macaroon, mashed potato mixed with icing sugar and dipped in chocolate and coconut. It shouldn’t work but it does!

crispysausagerolls · 30/04/2020 21:57

Sam was the true hero on Lord of the Rings. Frodo was awful and effectively useless*

This gets me every fucking time. Useless fucking Frodo. useless!!!! USELESSSSSSSSS

also, I like Ross. There’s a fantastic article about how he is the only actually smart one of the group and is constantly belittled due to his intellect. Plus, they were on a fucking break. Not my hill to die on, just pointing it out...

Prawns do not belong in fish pie. They're not a fish. Clue's in the name.

DamnYankee · 30/04/2020 21:59

To eliminate the word "potty" (as in toilet) from every man, woman, and child's vocabulary.
To get people to stop saying "pitchers" when they are referring to pictures.
And if use the last of the toilet paper - ffs -remove the cardboard roll, throw it in the trash, and put on a new roll! (Glares at oblivious DS).
@JoanJettPack Totally agree
@Turfaccountant I like peas with lasagna too!

David Williams needs to stop with the whole I love Simon bollocks, it frankly annoys me and you can see Simon getting increasingly pissed off. Come out and be proud of who you are if you are gay, but stop being a twat about it.

I’m on a crowded hill with the mayonnaise one mayo on chips as discovered by me in a Germany when I was 16 a thousand years ago, it was a fucking revelation!

Blackcountryexile · 30/04/2020 22:01

@PatriciaHolm Yes! I'm coming up
It's different from not different to .

TerpsichoreanMuse · 30/04/2020 22:01

Pies should have not only a top, but also sides and a bottom, ideally made of suet crust pastry. A bowl of stew topped with a circle of rough puff is not a pie, it's a lie.

crispysausagerolls · 30/04/2020 22:02

My hill to die on is fruit in puddings.

I like fruit.

I like pudding, cake etc

I DO NOT LIKE THE COMBINATION! Is this a fucking treat or is it healthy?!

Similarly, fruit salads are horrendous. No, I don’t want to eat a grape which tastes like an orange as they have been bumping uglies in a packet all day.

Additionally, the way that raisins bloat during cooking is fucking vomit inducing and cooked raisins belong NOWHERE

Sexnotgender · 30/04/2020 22:04

Trifle is revolting.

Dried fruit is the spawn of Satan.

MissHoskins · 30/04/2020 22:07

Human beings cannot change sex.
A girl cannot become a boy. A boy cannot become a girl.
A woman cannot become a man. A man cannot become a woman.
End of.

Pigletthedog · 30/04/2020 22:08

Sweet Jesus @mrspotatohed I hope you're lonely on that there sacrilegious hill.

InfiniteCurve · 30/04/2020 22:09

Why are people saying macaroons have coconut in? No,they absolutely don't! They are almondy.

My hill is "main" and "side" in a food context .No.No,no ,no.
Main course.Side dish.In fact why side dishes at all? We never had side dishes why I was a lad....

3luckystars · 30/04/2020 22:09

Carrie Bradshaw is a selfish bitch.

HalfBrick · 30/04/2020 22:10

Tomato soup and cheese toastie are two separate meals not one, you greedy bastards.

The macaron thing, they used to both be called macaroon. Before the internet. We know one is coconuty and one is meringuey, stop trying to explain!

Lol at the poster who said Liam Gallagher sounds like an electric razor, spot on Grin (and I like Oasis).

Mrskeats · 30/04/2020 22:11

It's a lot. Not alot.
Cats really don't care about you. They will happily live with anyone that feeds them.

crispysausagerolls · 30/04/2020 22:12

@3luckystars

Agree. But I raise you that Miranda was a man hating miserable cow!

But then I also think Rose in titanic was a cheating harlot and not the victim

Mrskeats · 30/04/2020 22:12

Oh and humans can't change sex.

InfiniteCurve · 30/04/2020 22:16

Aaargh,now I'm moving to the macaroon hill.
They are not coconutty.They are not meringuey.
Thy are a kind of posh almondy biscuit.With half a flaked almond on top,someone posted a picture upthread.

longtompot · 30/04/2020 22:16

Fruit ie strawberries, should not ever be dipped in melted chocolate. A waste of a perfectly nice berry and perfectly nice chocolate and ruined when put together. That is my hill to die on.

@InfiniteCurve macarons are almond, macaroons are either coconut or almonds.

InfiniteCurve · 30/04/2020 22:18

@longtompot
No they aren't - Mum made macaroons a lot when I was a child,and in England,possibly more of the UK but I can't speak for that,they were almond based,chewy on the inside,crisp on the outside and very definitely called macaroons.

PositiveVibez · 30/04/2020 22:20

while I’m at it... CAMEELA CABEYO (singer)

I agreed with all your other pronunciations, but this is CAMEEYA CABEYO 😁

And whateve PP said Space were underrated - I'll join you on that hill. Still regularly listen to their albums.

Graphista · 30/04/2020 22:21

Macaroni cheese should be eaten with salad cream - another “thank me later”

Re macaron v macaroon as a Scot they are 2 entirely different things.

The first is a poor imitation of a meringue

The 2nd is a delicious piece of confection made with mashed potato! (See BabyYoda’s pic)

(Possibly outing this one) Harry Potter is a clear pastiche if not outright plagiarism of Enid blytons school books but less well written - I couldn’t make it through even one chapter! I was subjected to the films by dd

The teabag must be removed before the milk goes in wtf kind of grim evil monster leaves the bag in?!!

Tea is better when you put the milk in first

Heathens! Surrounded by heathens!

What coffee shops call a muffin is a bloody oversized fairy cake. judgment for plaintiff (I agree)

@BlessYourCottonSocks I admire your resolve

On the subject of films

“It’s a wonderful life” is trite schmaltzy badly acted shite! (And I normally love Jimmy stewart!)

Shawshank redemption and Thelma & Louise - also MASSIVELY overrated!

“The notion that it's embarrassing or in any way problematic that the Head of the Church of England would divorce. 🤔

That was the whole fucking point of the CoE in the first place! 🤣”

Yes I’ve never understood that either

George Michael ❤️ I have no words ( except I love him still ) me too!!

Pies should have not only a top, but also sides and a bottom, ideally made of suet crust pastry. A bowl of stew topped with a circle of rough puff is not a pie, it's a lie. never order steak pie in Scotland! Especially at Hogmanay! 😂

JadziaSnax · 30/04/2020 22:22

Mayonnaise is the best condiment for chips. I suspect that this is a very crowded hill.
Pies have a base and sides as well as a lid. A stew with a hat on is NOT a pie.
A bacon butty does not need butter, just ketchup.

ShirleyPhallus · 30/04/2020 22:24

Additionally, the way that raisins bloat during cooking is fucking vomit inducing and cooked raisins belong NOWHERE

You think that’s bad, have you ever seen an undigested raisin pass through a toddler?! They rehydrate and it is absolutely horrendous
