A Viscous attack # 2

[Catpiece]

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

An advert on Facebook - a vintage garment "in good contrition".

I’ve just been reading about a New Year’s Eve party where canopy’s were served all night x

Let's go full on 1980s and reign it in if necessary

I think you mean 1980’s

If anyone is wondering, 'Let's go full on 1980s and rein it in if necessary' is correct.

'Lets go full on 1980's and reign it in if necessary' is for those who are wandering.

@PendantScorner Yep x

Breakfast presenter “it just sticks in my jaw that men get priority over women”

Wow. Funny but rather sad that they clearly hadn’t actually read it.

The apostrophe in numeric dates is not necessarily hard and fast.
For example, the style guide of the news organisation I used to work for decreed no apostrophes in numerical dates.
So it would definitely be 1980s, 1990s and so on. (This is my preference, it's easier to type, is clear and looks neat, IMO.)
But other organisations do not always agree.

The apostrophe in numeric dates is not necessarily hard and fast.
It is as far as I am concerned.
'1980's pop hits' has a different meaning to ''1980s pop hits'.

Just saw someone saying a place was known for having 'incremental weather'

Surely both have the same meaning, pop hits that belong to the 1980s?

@Allseeingallknowing, they don't.
1980's pop hits are pop hits of 1980.
1980s pop hits are pop hits of the 1980s.

1980's = belonging to 1980
1980s = the 1980s

I agree. 1980s is correct for the plural form.

Did anyone see the “bowels” bag thread?

Someone is looking for talc that smells of "palma violets".

The flowers are named Parma violets after the city in Italy, not the city of Palma in Majorca.

Swollen nymph nodes seen on a medical forum.

Maybe she prefers the smell of Spanish violets.

That's a pretty forgiveable error though. Really not on a par with most of the others on this thread.

I've seen that written as "putting her on a pedi-stool". To cut her toenails, presumably.

I've seen pedal stall.

I read a brilliant one last week - someone said they 'needed restbite'

And one that rhotic speakers are not likely to make. See also "draws" for drawers.

I've just been reading a thread about a real-life murder case where the victim had "rigorous mortis".

I’ve just read about someone “woffling” on x
