A Viscous Attack # 3

[Catspace]

Ding, ding, round 3 of the highly entertaining collection of misspellings, misuse and general bastardisation of language. The floor is youre’s x

DH was a Royal Marines officers. Buglers everywhere!

Box set doesn't bother me. I think of it as a set of something in a box.
Grammatically, it's not correct, but it doesn't grate. Pack lunch does grate.
Barb wire is funny, it sounds like a cartoon character.

Boxset is also seen.

Just seen on MN- taking a back ( taken aback!)

Corniche (Cornish)

Corniche is a type of cliff path, if that's what they meant.

A Corniche ice cream would just be wrong!

Its a pity we don’t use the word for our coast paths, we could have the Cornish Corniche.

I know but the correct spelling was already taken! 🤷‍♀️

Have just seen ‘a Belton braces scenario’ on another thread.

I didn’t know Belton was a centre of extra sturdy trouser accessories manufacturing. 😁

I absolutely love this! Ha ha ha

How infuriating! I think my inner pedant would have made me choose something else

On a CV, i read ‘i have lots of experience on the cold face’.

@butterpuffed , It was "I have a daughter called Merryn. Its corniche and at 15 we are yet to meet another child eith her name, have met one adult one."

Haha!! Definitely wrong 😅

@AlbieJiggeredI read that 10 minutes ago! 😂

I wasn't the one who corrected it - I shared it with you instead. A lot of the names suggested are misspelt.

I just really wanted the username! 😂

Seen this morning that the PP’s arm was soar after surgery. Flying high.

Seen a reference to a “fanatical advisor” which I absolutely love

Just seen on mn, cheese being described as 'very moorish'

Like Othello!

Indeed 😂

I’m the same ☺️

When I was a child I thought it was ‘Moorish’ - I think I may have first heard the word being used in relation to Turkish Delight so it seemed to be related to exoticism, ‘full of eastern promise’.😂

I thought I saw an autocorrect or voice-to-text error when someone asked another person if they visited a restaurant "off ten," but then they repeated it when they were corrected. ("No, I mean as in "do you go there off ten?")

What a bazaar misunderstanding. 😆
