    No, it wouldn't. It might imply, suggest or insinuate, but it wouldn't infer. You would be the one doing that.

    I do like the one liner it spawned though: I've been coughing up so much mucus that people think I'm Phlegmish.

    Partner Or more specifically the way this neutral word has been hijacked to mean 'the person with whom one is having a sexual relationship'. Now we have to put up with ambiguity if we wish to speak of a business partner, dance partner or any non-sexual use of the word. Conversely I think not enough use is made of delightul words like paramour and concubine.

    That’s a charming word! In fact, most of its synonyms are pleasing words too: obsequious, sycophantic, oleaginous, all wholesome words that aren’t used enough.

    I don't think it's as simple as North/South, I'm from the North and the midday meal has always been called lunch in my house. For the evening meal it would depend on whether we were having a full-on sit down meal in which case it was dinner or grabbing something quick before going out which would be tea. When I was with my now ex I'd often ask " Are you going to make dinner tonight or shall I do tea?" It was years before he caught on. I agree with you on "journey" and similarly "emotional"

    Fantastic. An adjective for this thread, and also an adjective I despise. If you're describing something in such an admiring way, you've got so many gorgeous words to choose from. Tremendous is a tremendous word. Sublime? Glorious? Brilliant? Magnificent? Phenomenal? Amazeballs? (alright, maybe not that one) So why would one choose such a vacuous, dumbed-down word as fantastic? There's not that many words I dislike, though. The English language is fantastic.

    Thank you. Not mine actually though, it is a lose English translation of what the Norwegian people think of him. Glad he is out of Norway for a few years anyway. Thanks for taking him off our hands for a while.

    If I may pedant... By that logic, the first century AD (or CE if you prefer) was only 99 years long as there was no year zero, so cant be a century. Logically, the first century AD is it's first hundred years, i.e. 1 AD to 100 AD; subsequent centuries hence start in (x)x01 and finish in (x)[x+1]00

    WTAF? HAIR STYLING? Sorry, but, him, in a hairdresser? Or even a barbers? 'Fuck that shite, do I have a sharp knife? Why, 'yes'. Several in fact. Or scissors sharpened so much you'd slice your hand picking them up. Job done.

    Yes! I think it's because too many people don't know the difference between lunch and dinner. Can of worms North / South divide etc I was amazed XH2 family would call the midday thing dinner and they really would have gravy on it and some woman was available to do that. Not just to him but to the elderly inlaws despite having small pre school children. A roast every day at lunchtime! fuck knows what they had after work. but my XH grandmother would send a plate to husband and his parents every day. And thinking about it it's fucking strange, who want want meat and potatoes and three veg at noon. I know people who work hard outdoors and even they would be 'oh fuck off with it I'll get my own when I'm finished or I'll have real food" no time for lunch fffs. Interesting. But to me it's the same as 'lovely property' no it's a house or flat. Infuriating!

    Call me weird on this one, but I can't stand the word "meal" for some reason. My ears just puke whenever i hear that word

    Phlegm. I have no idea why they have to call mucus something different just because it comes from a different place, but maybe it’s just me...

    As has been noted several times in the past. I can almost feel Phantom die a little every time its posted. (For the record I'm in complete agreement, probably the abominablest thing out there.)
