FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 - DISCUSSION AND WATCHALONG THREAD ⚽️. Part 8

[placemats]

Let's continue the discussion.

Really? You've never heard or used "whom"?

For whom
By whom

Ask not for whom the bell tolls not ringing any bells?

It's either by whom or who by.

I don’t ‘lol’ though. Not in writing nor when speaking but horses for courses and all that.

Nighty night

I would say it's old English, like 'thou'. I've never heard anyone say the word 'whom', or write it.

I know of the word. I have never heard anyone actually say it in a sentence in real life.

Yes it's getting colder now.

I seem to remember there being some sort of campaign. It may have got hijacked slightly when reform used a particularly clumsily worded tweet using it to wish the England team well.

No chill here 😭

Genuinely, you will have heard it on the news, or read it in books. Maybe it just didn’t register with you.
It is a word that is used a lot, nothing like thou

The latest posts today prompted a mass report as they clearly weren't genuine. But of course there will be a lot of women suffering due to this loss.

Omg you should try 'lol'ing in convo and report back 😄😄😄 x

We’ve had a great World Cup but this last game was poor. The better (dirtier, but still better) team won tonight, sadly. I hope the majority can remain philosophical and look at all the positives.

Four years from now we could have Captain Jude leading the way. Hold that thought!

My friends would think I was ill or something 😆

Yes sadly.

That was a hot day.

Oh I didn't see the latest posts. What were they?

Shark was jumped

what does that mean

😄 'aibu or is my friend having some kind of breakdown - she says lol instead of laughing'

🤣 I’m going to say it to my dc tomorrow and see how long it takes them to react 🤣

It went too far and became unbelievable

they probably use it a lot.

It’s a reference to the writers of Happy days trying to reverse falling numbers by a series of increasing ludicrous plot lines. Namely the episode Fonzie jumped the shark. Widely used these days to refer to any point in a fictional work where the plot becomes so ludicrous as to be completely implausible.

it happens a lot on mn threads.

I hope Spain wipes the floor with them

Aww Big Meeks found out his dad died just before going on air tonight 😢
