 :wum:

Johnny Come Lately American "supporters" who only support a club because there happens to be an American on it, then stick around to muck things up on club message boards with their God awful political views, horrible knowledge of proper English, not to mention their views on "soccer", etc, etc.

when people use the word "literally" as a way of describing something...."literally miles offside".....somehow i dont think so

[YankeeJim]

1. People who disagree with things I write.

2. People who agree, but don't bother to post a comment saying so.

3. People who post a comment agreeing, but don't do it enthusiastically enough.

4. People who think that posts like this mean I'm too self-involved.

Yeah, that about does it.

I agree. Best reply of the day, by miles!

I disagree. It seems like, ya know, actually, huh creeping Americanism.  I'd write more but I have to check my v/m.

People who park up at petrol pumps and return to their car with 2 bags of shopping. Sod off to Tesco's if you want to do a weeks shop, "Express" after the Tesco's kind of gives it away. Also standing behind them in a Petrol station wanting to pay for your petrol when they are paying for that full weeks shop!!

that was when I decided James Allen was a poo F1 commentator: "Nico Rosberg is literally having a baptism of fire".

No James, he's not.

[YankeeJim]

Anyone seem to notice that threads like this seem only to pop up in the off season?

[Whitby Fulham]

People who park in disabled/motorcycle/parent and child bays so they can save 15 seconds walking in to a supermarket.

[MisfitKid]

1) People who can't wait a few seconds until you exit an elevator/train/etc.
2) People who need to flip on their phone before they leave church on Sunday.
3) All those Nigerians trying to sending me their money...

I think Collins John tried it on a couple of occasions...

[gang]

people who gave 110%; not possible.

[Me-ate-Live, innit??]

People who talk jack ****  on the  phones on the bus when I am trying to read my book 
Garry Lineker  commentating on the Olympics  just plain wrong ( he should get lessons from Clare Balding ) 
People who Spit in the street, Makes me want to rip their heads of and clean it up

[Lighthouse]

Yes agree about Gary Lineker. Balding and Hazel Irvine are far better at that anchor spot. Lineker just stops me from bothering to watch.

Agree about spitting and anything else people feel it is ok to do in the street that they wouldn't do infront of their Mother.

Abuse of the word "literally".
Anyone that says "over-exaggerate".
Bullshitters.

My wife, she really gets my goat.

I'm with you Mr. Inglis; however, the Oxford English Dictionary -- which is pretty much the bible on proper usage -- has taken to bending to the popular will. The latest editions allow for "literally" to mean the exact opposite of literally. They also have decided that although "gauntlet" is a glove and "gantlet" is a form of punishment in which a person is forced to run between two lines of men facing each other and armed with clubs or whips to beat the victim, the two words are interchangable.

It used to be running the gantlet and throwing down the gauntlet, but evidently either is fine now -- which drives me nutso. At this rate, it won't be long until

a. CHOMPING ON the bit is an acceptable substitute for CHAMPING AT the bit
b. "I could care less" has the same meaning as "I couldn't care less" AND
c. "Things that really get ON my goat" is an acceptable subsitute for "Things that really get my goat."

Ah, the English language and how she's spoke.
