The new word for this year? It's 'Shocking'.

Everything in TV and mazazines is SHOCKING.

Now I have pointed this out to you, I hope it gets to you as it has to me, then I won't be lonely

As long as it's not EDGY - I don't know why, but I always want to scream when I hear that word.

EDGY EDGY EDGY hahaha!

No, you will notice that newpapers announce "Shocking accident', or about film stars 'shocking revelation' or news 'shocking incident', 'shocking photo', shocking information about....'

It's everywhere like the common cold .

My pet hate is "moving forward"

It used to be poli speak but lately I'm noticing everyone saying it

Poli's aren't saying moving forward much currently.. more looking back.. its was Rudd's fault, it was Labor's fault.. they would do well to move forward.

Well I was SHOCKED the other night when a news report mentioned a crime against an ELDERLY man.

Geez, he was only 68, not 98.

Me too Roo.

And I am sick of hearing people from all walks of life use the word "basically" inappropriately.

The latest in an interview was ...... basically I was walking down the street and .

Basically it drives me up the wall

Re: Anyone recognised

darksideofthemoon — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 09:30:18 GMT

I suppose that basically, they are getting down to brass tacks?

Re: Anyone recognised

darksideofthemoon — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 09:31:58 GMT

Katymatey that shocks me, basically it shocks me.... 68 is now elderly? bloomin' blazers. Then some of us here are hang-of-an-old

Hey Darki, how are you travelling? I hope you and the babies are well, in spite of your toe.

I just found this in the Urban Dictionary which gave me a bit of a laugh.

basically

When you suspect someone of being an idiot, count how many times they say 'basically' when talking.

So, basically, at the end of the day, when all's said and done, basically, my vocabluary is really really basic.

I get annoyed when they state the bleeding obvious, for example;

The body of a dead woman was found.........

Duh, as if we wouldn't be able to guess that she was dead when they mentioned the word body.

Hi freshy the dogs are doing okay, and Harry is recovering from his rear leg injury, so all is well - well, basically

also, basically, my toe is coming right although it was SHOCKINGLY painful when it happened

Re: Anyone recognised

darksideofthemoon — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 02:47:45 GMT

Oh yes, nothing like finding the body of a dead woman... SHEESH!

The other day I saw a sign outside a property... "Old horse poo for sale'... question: Which is old, the horse or the poo? This has yet to be decided.
