A Viscous attack # 2

Is it okay for me to start a second thread of the highly entertaining viscous attack? Couldn’t see a sequel and don’t want to step foot on anyone’s toes

Or people who do things with flare.

Fare enough

I know this was spoken rather than written, but I literally just heard on a documentary where a perpetrator 'fleed the scene.' A documentary. I'll just let that sink in, that the voiceover person in a documentary couldn't use the word 'fled'.

In a documentary on Disney + someone said they were “taken back” to explain how shocked they felt. I’m hearing this more and more recently.

I think "the Muslims trying to impose Shakirah law" is one of my all time favourite typos!
Bring it on!

Lovely. Can’t beat Shakira and her truthful hips.

Have just seen ‘Can any [one] recommend an Ariel fitter..’

I’ve now got visions of a fairy (or Disney princess) tethered to a chimney.

Seen today: it’s so paired back

That's such a great image!

Someone on the Meghan thread saying that posters are:
"bitter Betty's, Karen's and moaning Minnie's"
A devotion to the apostrophe.

I was thinking of laundry detergent.

In hind site he should of expected this.

@TerminalMoraine Oh Deer

Catpiece · 11/10/2025 11:34

I worked with some who’d heard the word hindsight and threw it into sentences where it made no sense. “In hindsight what we should do is…”

There's nothing wrong with using plain, clear English, rather than phrases you don't understand. There was someone on tv who said he preferred chicken to pork in a dish because he wasn't "au fait" with pork.

CalzoneOnLegs · 11/10/2025 13:48

@Cathandkin sounds like the sort of crap GreGG Wallace would have come out with 🤣

Anyone interested in a Tempura mattress?

I’m not sure I could eat all that

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 12/10/2025 19:45

There's a bit of an outbreak of 'extraverts' at the moment too. I'm imagining everyone being really really green...

And not being au fait with pork makes me think of Del Boy rather than Greg Wallace.

Cathandkin · 12/10/2025 19:51

Del Boy!
