Just taking a look around on- line and I notice a lot of

Genuine replicas for sale.

Really???

**bleep** fight,

 not fond of perfect storm either

bromance

Window of opportunity..

I love the term bromance!  It's so cute.

if any of my mates got accused of a bromance they'd punch the **bleep** out of each just to prove otherwise.  It's a bit poncey.

I still don't get what pushing the envelope means. Isi t like pushing the boundaries? and if so why not say pushing the boundaries.

There's a term I hear on telly that I really hate, but I can't remember what it is. I think it is something entertainment reporters say trying to be hip/trendy/ etc.

"Pushing the envelope" actually has scientific/aeronautic origins and refers to the "flight envelope" which has something to do with the parameters within which flight is feasable - hence pushing the envelope is about stretching these margins to see what one can get away with before one crashes.

Or something a bit like that - I'm operating on memory and it ain't what I used to think it was.
