Not a specific word, but a whole category - Baby Talk.. Unless talking to an infant at time, I cannot stand it when adults refer to themselves as "A Mummy", " Going on the choo choo", "eating din dins" etc Also using the word "Tunes" to describe music, esp when written "choons"....

Haven't read all this thread, just skimmed through, so I may be repeating something that's already been said, but can we please do away with this myth that the soft Southern English Nancyboys can't handle the slightest bit of snow, whereas us big, hard Scots soldier on through blizzard conditions with the merest shrug of our shoulders.

When posting on "favourite / best players" type threads, the people who insist on using a players full name. If you want to say Kenny Dalglish, say "Kenny Dalglish" - not "Kenneth Mathieson Dalglish" etc. Why do folk do this - what is the point, everyone knows who you mean - Is there some sort of geeky "trainspotter" and / or a "Look at me - what an Uberfan I am" thing going on, or what ?

Oh dear - Get yer coat mate !!!

All the "do you lock..." and similar threads , or more specifically, some of the posts on them that have sprung up of the last few days. I think the "joke" has been well and truely milked to death now !

Couples in Supermarkets I am now of the firm belief that people should only be allowed into such shops on their own. Why do these folk have to stand and debate every single last thing they buy ? I can just about handle the ones who insist on squeezing every single loaf before deciding which one they want, and, at an extreme push can just tolerate those who want to stick their finger in every bit of steak in the place before deciding not to bother after all..... BUT.. When I have to wait for a full 5 minutes when someone is deciding which.........rice !!!! they want, that's just a step too far. I mean, it's rice FFS -- You know a tasteless, non perishable thing which costs about 50p a ton and has the sole purpose of stopping your actual food running off the plate - what's to debate, just pick one up and get out my fucking way will you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha - Not at all mate - I've ( potentially) got a fine head of hair on me, and being a proud ginger am very unlikely to go bald - I just choose to get the old "bare blade all over - skin it" every 4 weeks or so !

The Boss

I actually agree with all of these comments Anyway, changing the subject totally, my "petty thing" from today - Folk who go to Barbers, NB Not "Hairdressers" for a 45 minute "Look at me" haircut - You know the kind where no actual haircutting takes place for the last 20 mins - A haircut in a barbers should take no more than 10 mins tops ! Go to a ponsy salon if you want to fart about with gel and the like and get every last single fucking hair on your head to the exact milimetre accuarte position you want it !!

I don't necessarily agree with what you say, but I can see where you are coming from, but if you start to put these conditions on minute's silences where does it end ? Murder = minute's silence, suicide = no silence, Death by natural cause aged 90 = no silence , death in road accident aged 32 = silence , assisted suicide aged 65 and terminally ill = no silence............. Either have a silence when someone dies, or don't imo, regardless of cause of death. FWIW I think, generally, there are far, far too many silences / appluase at football now

Well, I'm fat, speccy and ginger ( and PROUD I might add!) - Never thought that supporting Airdrie over Morton has been my saving grace all these years !

Definitely not - and I appreciate every situation is different, but, what I found effectively was to mention it really casual, totally out of the blue weeks later. Anyway, hope the wedding goes well and you get everything else sorted out.

Don't want to be brutal and / or be accused of stating the obvious but why don't you just tell him this sort of thing isn't on ? He's allegedly your best mate so therefore if you tell him in the right circumstances and manner i.e don't make a big drama out of it, but sometime when it's just the two of you out for a drink, and you're both still sober just say "Look, I know you do this, and what you may not realise is it really pisses me off, so from now on, if you can't be arsed doing something, say so. I don't care what you do with anyone else but stop making up these lies to me" or words to that effect and then leave it at that. The reason I said "allegedly your best mate" is that if he is, that will do the trick - I was in a different, but similar, situation about 2 years back - similar sort of thing had been going on for years, I mentioned it once and it's never happened again. I reckon anyone, if a subject is broached in the correct manner by a close friend, would be the same.

Spot on - Especially when the reason for my post wasn't to do with the sausage or the roll but the stupid bitch ordering the onions to go with them at the last minute !

Whatever the f**k anyone else wants to call it, I couldn't care less - Point being when I'm waiting behind someone in a queue I want them to mention the onions at the same time as they mention the roll and the main filling of said roll.

Females ( sorry, but it is always females) at Burger Vans, and similar type establishments. Look girls, get it into your heads - these places are for quick, basic foodstuffs - okay ? Stop being so f******* fussy !!!!! A couple of rules:- 1) If you want a roll on suasage & onion - ready for this one - ASK for "a roll on sausage & onions" - don't ask for "a roll on sausage" then when it's being put in the bag, pipe up "can I have some onion on that?" 2) Bacon - Take it how you're given it - Other folk don't have the time, nor inclination to wait for it to be the exact perfect level of crispiness for your oh-so picky self 3) Sauce, mayo, vinegar etc - At Burger vans, you have 2 options - "Some" or "none" - There are no such quantities as "a wee drop", "hardly any" , "loads", "just a touch" etc, etc. According to a mate's mate there is a Burger Van somehwere in Paisley which offers rolls filled with a choice of egg, bacon, burger, black pudding, tattie scone, sausage - and nothing else - No "bacon with the fat cut off", "sausage & egg with the yolk burst" , "black pudding and sausage, with brown sauce, but just on the black pudding" or any other rubbish like that - It allegedly displays a sign proclaiming "You want it "Your way" ? - Go to Burger King!" Admittedly, this has an "urban myth" ring to it, but how I wish all Burger Vans were like this !

That's it spot on - I don't mind folk disagreeing / debate - "Wearealldoomed" will confirm I would argue all night - but at least have some sort of substance to their claims

One for me which has been festering for a while now, but has came to a head today.. From another forum - Teenage / 20 something boxing "fans" who think Mike Tyson is the greatest boxer ever, provide no evidence / analysis to back it up, and simply will not accept any criticism of "their" man. Not trying to come across as a boxing know all / old guy hankering for the "good old days" but when the "debate" consists of:- "Tyson would KO Ali in 3 rounds" "Why - Look at all the great fighters who couldn't knock Ali out, so why would Tyson ?" "Because, he's the fastest heavyweight of all time" "No he isn't, Ali is - That's been proven" "Well Tyson would still beat him" "Why" "Because he's Tyson and he's the best " It does get a bit tiresome

Glasgow when Scotland are playing and it's on TV

Damn that rum !

Women, for ( once again) it is always women, whom whilst talking on mobile phones on a train / bus / street - anywhere public really - simply refuse to comprehend that "domestics" are called "domestics" for a reason i.e in this case, the whole rest of the carriage does not care that your boyfriend "couldn't have been sitting right next to Adele last night, because he was online all night" nor did we want to hear you berate him for this time and time again !

1) Look at me 2) Look at me, I'm mental 3) Look at me, I'm great 4) Look at me, I'm controversial 5) Look at me, please, no-one commented on how mental/great/controversial I was first time I posted. Because, let's face it, that's what most of the other posts on this thread have been ! B)

Another related one is the word "munch" being used as a noun - "Oh, just having a wee munch", "just a quick munch to keep me going till I get home" and the like.

Goths, Emos, Moshers - whatever they are called this week. Basically, they groups of teenagers that claim to "just want to be left alone to live their lives as they choose" whom, the second everyone does leave them alone to do just that i.e. ignores them, go out of their way to attract as much attention to themselves as possible. "Hey, look at me - screaming at the top of my voice to my pal at the other end of the platform - cool, huh ? - Bet none of you lot ever done anything this far out when you were my age ?"

Women - for it is ALWAYS women - whom despite the hall being no more than 25% full, still insist on having a 5 minute debate, complete with pointing and loud voices, over where they are going to sit at "the pictures".
