observer Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Any examples of new lingo folks - heard one the other day - "maxed out on my credit card"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Gosh that's an old one Obs... surely you have heard that one before. One that really annoys me is when people say they are 'going to touch base' or 'want to touch base' with me or someone else. I don't play rounders or baseball so why do they say it? Is that a new one or just one that I am not used to either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I call them dinner and tea, so does my dad, so does my brother yet my sister often refers to them as lunch and dinner. She must be the one propper posh one of the family. Thank goodness we have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

algy Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Another one that seems to be doing the rounds is "Deal with it" e.g. I'm doing it my way so "Deal with it". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Doesn't really mean anything, but you never know when you might need it, and it comes in handy if you are stuck for words, and fits any situation...........Sutch my pratch. People of a certain age who buy useless get well quick remedies and presents from Blackpool because they are cheap, and they think they are getting a bargain, (usually Mams and Mother in laws) S--t magnets.

Stallard12 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 How about "My bad!" Don't know if you have it yet, but sadly, it's coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I've not heard that one before... what does it mean ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 it means that the person has either said something or done something they should not have and acknowledge it but in a way that they are not really sincere about feeling bad about it. so "No worries eh". "In the zone" is one that gets my goat, why not just say he/she/it is performing at his/her/it's best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'd better remember the 'My bad' one as it may come in useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
