Wanky things! Wanky things everywhere...

[00100001]

Masons Jars for holding lunch and layered salads etc = wanky

Menus that say things like " Shoestring fries ~ 6.5" = wanky

Nespresso's "Vintage" coffee = wanky

Calling chicken nuggets Chicken Gougons = wanky

Gah!

😮

I have had an enjoyable time reading this thread, especially the burst balloon cocktail aroma (good gods)

my contribution is to agree that the euphemisms for death are wanky and add the current “unalive” one.

I once worked in adult education and we had to change the term 'students' to 'units of education ' and finally to 'learners'. 🙄

yes, like we now have to say “unhoused” rather than homeless, it’s like language is being sanitised.

I will stick up for this very slightly - I think it's used as a way to get round social media (I refuse to use the wanky 'socmed' or even worse 'the socials') 'sensitivity filters' on some sites that are activated if you say 'dead' or 'die' or similar.

I was on this thread 7 years ago under an old name; I wonder how many of the bespoke purveyors of artisanal wank mentioned here survived the economic impact of the pandemic.

Wank supreme

Michael Winner had that a good few times, he was horrible to waiters.

I thought this was going to be a thread about dildo's! 🤣

Here we are 7 years on and so much of this wanky shit is still around.

It's very disappointing.

Sports people 'taking on liquids/water' - they're having a drink - they aren't Thomas the Tank Engine.

Recipes which "tell the story "!

Estate agent blurb. 2 or more bedrooms close to each other = "the accommodation wing".

It's all getting towards new speak!

Ownership speak - where has this come from?

Everything is "yours" - I think Davina might have kicked it off on Big Brother - "ladies & gentlemen YOUR BB winner is ...."

Your daily coffee.

I'll invite you to take your XXX/yoga pose.

hard to describe why this annoys me - something about making YOU the owner of everything, its like flag planting everywhere. Its neo-liberalism embedded at the heart of our speech and then we get to claim ownership to absolutely everything.

Its so wanky and its only getting worse.

Speaking "your/my truth" is the absolute worst.

It's ingrained now...the new normal etc

🤣🤣🤣

Extremely disappointed that so much wankery remains with us in 2025.

.

Me too. Will we ever stop being wankers???

add the current “unalive” one.

Isn't it something to do with SM algorithms, that you can't use certain words? Also why people use grape symbol when talking about rapes, and similar.

Yes, it's to get around SM censorship.

The Alchemist in Machester. Eight hungover people wanted a high calorie, pig heavy breakfast, orange juice, and tea.

Tea arrived in component parts: loose tea in a science beaker, water in a separate beaker. By the time the server had put water into eight beakers, loaded the tray, brought it across the restaurant and served us all, the water was not too far above lukewarm. Then we poured the water over the leaves. Which were in their beaker with dry ice. DRY FUCKING ICE.

wank wank wank!
