As a resident of Essex, wherever I go is resonant with the sound of "And 'e turned rahnd 'n' sed..." They then end their proclamation with a word I only recently learned the definition of: 'Jernahmeen'. It apparently means 'do you know what I mean?'

Basically, I basically hate people who basically base their inarticulate utterances around the word basically. Basic twats.

We don't exactly do unscrupulousness as well as them, do we?

BREAKING NEWS: Vladimir Putin, quite remarkably, wins a fourth term as Russian President, with an increased share of the vote. Well fuck mine. Who'd have thought it? In a race where he barred the main opposition leader from entering. Isn't democracy marvellous?

Dissolution for the very first de facto UK Prime Minister, Whig statesman Sir Robert Walpole, who died on this day 273 years ago at the age of 68.

You're fluent in Bosnian? Impressive!

Can I borrow that and use it as my Twitter biography?

Such a gorgeous pair. So sorry for your loss.

And whilst on the subject of coffee, anyone who goes into Costa or the like and starts an order with "Can I get..." fucking gives me cancer.

"Fancy a coffee?" "Yes, I'll have a double expresso"

Oh I’m doubtless it’s not just 30% of Yanks, it’s probably rife over this side of the Atlantic too...though explaining such a complex thing as the English language to them is like pissing in a lake to try and make it go away.

Are we talking a non-existent antonym for regardless (ie. irrespective), or is it just a fuck up of the word? Either way, it sounds like it'd grate right on my tits if someone said it to me.

Oh sorry, silly me, it’s not a coffee is it? My mistake. It’s that type of small monkey, right?

Good one. Even the pre-watershed friendly version is good: Omnishambles

No more coffee for French model Capucine, who died aged 62 28 years ago today.

Schadenfreude is one of my favourites. As in: I enjoyed the schadenfreude I experienced as I listened to the mellifluous splat of the cunto next door defenestrating himself.

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.

Yes yes yes. A ‘journey’ or a ‘rollercoaster’. Cunto clichés.

Yep. Realignment is just a vaguely businessy minced oath for ‘shafting people’.

Romanticisms can be all well and good, but I really find the words ‘babe’ and ‘baby’ so unutterably bilious. Often a nice sentiment, yes, but the noise that collection of letters forms simply gives me the shudders.

Noted. High heels are packed away for now while these adverse conditions are blighting us.

Help! Help! The Sun was right! The Beast from the East is here! I can't get outside to my car! Somebody help!

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.

Yes, you're welcome *said through gritted teeth* I'm sure we'll come up with some more adjectives for this Silly Nilly before long!

Top class political analysis!
