OK, I know it's a really easy mistake to make. It's just that every time I read this - more and more frequently - my mind conjures something like this. Enjoy!

The one that seems spectacularly common at the moment is 'been' instead of 'being'. I see it all the time at work in senior management comms. "I can't see this approach been efffective". Wtaf. 😳 🤦🏻‍♀️

Perhaps just have a bit of rest bite?

Ok, I may be going off on a tandem here (off-pissed, so to say), but I think it’s an absolute exercise in fertility to try to correct errors such as “sperm doner” and the like.

If we keep on doing this we’ll be ostrich-sized. It’s all just snakes and roundabouts anyway.

We need to rise to the equation, decompose ourselves and siege the day.

Carpet denim!

Just seen a van with its livery offering to jet wash your patio for “curb appeal”. Ladies, I thought I’d have a brakedown.

Cattery · 11/04/2025 13:13

Or, I should of said lady’s

Tbf I’m pretty sure dishwater is much duller than ditchwater, the latter probably has all sorts of interesting minibeasts living in it.

🤣🤣 Some of these are actually better descriptors, I agree 😂

TheaBrandt1 · 12/04/2025 05:45

Some of the humor alludes me I must say.

TheaBrandt1 · 12/04/2025 07:16

I’m at a lost as to what some of you are finding funny

Pibrea · 12/04/2025 08:48
