For the love of god its drawer..

[hobbledyhoy]

...not draw.

Aaarrrggghhh!

Didn't want to be the arsehole and put it on the thread but I scream inside every time I see it. Feel a bit better now.

Is a condescending tumble drier one that has a 'tone' to its beeping, like an eye roll in sound?!

I bloody love that description of a ‘condescending’ tumble dryer!

My tumble dryer is quite polite and fuss-free. But my washing machine is a right mardy bastard. The groaning it makes…it’s like it’s permanently grumbling.

Our washer is like every other washer and hopelessly optimistic about how long is left to go. Well, it's either deluded or a bare-faced liar!

Is it impossible to switch auto correct off?

Currently making me want to shout at the telly -

Olympic commentators - medal and podium are not verbs

I once had a colleague who had a sticker with "personnel" on her locker. It always made me smile and I didn't have the heart to tell her it should be "personal"

Well, according to the dictionary medal is a noun and a verb.

I haven’t heard this. I feel left out. How are ‘medal’ and ‘podium’ turned into verbs?

It makes me think of Scooby Doo: “If it wasn’t for you medalling kids!”

If my DH gets bitten by an insect, he announces that he’s ‘bin bit’ I want to kill him.

Floored not flawed. Read that in a book recently and it really put me off the book!

Noun:
She won a medal in the triathlon.
Verb:
She medalled in the 50 freestyle this morning.

(Meddle(d) is clearly a separate but similar sounding verb)

It's this one for me. And bare for bear.

That's definitely regional / dialect.

Someone asked me if I needed served recently. Took me a moment.

Interesting - I just googled and need is a semi modal verb so it's grammatically correct either way.

Again, these are two separate words - what context was the word used in?

“She medalled”? No way. I’m not saying it’s not in the dictionary, but it’s god awful.

@Rummly

"This athlete is hoping to medal in her event" or "podium in her event"

Agree - I'm Scottish and it's definitely draw-err here. So you see it less. However people here pronounce "definitely" as "deff-in-ATE-ly" which accounts for so many misspellings as defiantly.

There's nothing technically wrong with it and it's used in sport all the time. Language evolves.

Someone was flawed by an event.

😂

Yes, that's wrong.

Yes I'm surprised you haven't heard it before, it's been around ages now.

And yes, I understand the difference between ‘medal’ and ‘meddle’. That was my joke about the infamous Scooby Doo quote (a poor joke, granted).

I had a work colleague who always said "definAtely. She was from Glasgow. I'm from the NE and nobody says it here.

Another new one I've seen is "I was balling my eyes out"

It’s ’I fell outside onto the ground, she fell inside onto the floor’.
The ground is OUTSIDE!! We don’t fall outside onto the fucking floor. Thanks.
