Grounds for divorce?

DH has come up with these classics:

'He has no couth'

and

'I was just talking out loud'

What horrors have you had to endure?

re 'he has no couth' - we frequently use 'lacking in gorm'

but we both do it so it doesn;t make either of use cross

eternalstudent · 15/02/2008 15:39

Ah, but you are aware you are doing it.

whats wrong with saying out loud

JaneHH · 15/02/2008 15:51

Zippi I think eternalstudent meant that talking is ALWAYS out loud, whereas thinking isn't. You can also say something with a sign and remain silent but talking always involves making noise. Or at least that's my take on it...

I'm afraid my DH is Dutch so I can't think of any horrors...

eternalstudent · 15/02/2008 16:01

Yes, he means 'thinking out loud' but says 'talking'

DP says "guesstimate"

It makes me want to hack at his bollocks with a penknife

DH has no annoying phrases. I have considered divorcing him because he chews too loudly at breakfast, but that may not be very reasonable, I suppose.

Scampmum · 15/02/2008 16:09

My DH chews too loudly at all meals and I too have entertained thoughts.

eternalstudent · 15/02/2008 16:17

DH sometimes chews loudly with his mouth open. He also blows air loudly out of his nose mid sentence.

But his worst horror is using the edge of a note as dental floss. Monetary note that is.

Oh, that and blowing his nose like footballers do.

I'm clearly holding onto a doomed relationship aren't I????

My DH uses my kirby gribs to clean his ears out with.

And when he eats ice cream he'll take a huge spoonful, put it in his mouth, take it out (having only licked the top layer off with his lips) and continue like this 3 or 4 times until it's gone.

AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH.

"Gold ignots" (important if you are on online role play geek )

"Harmony" (Hermione in Harry Potter)

Both of them I am officially a bitch with though as they are both words he read lots before saying - and he is dyslexic.

Although saying that, he always said that Detritus from Discworld was called Detrius, and where I heard him saying it before I read them, I hear Detrius when I read it now
