DiegoDiego Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Using "f*ck up" as a command, instead of the noun it always was.Always a noun? It's very much a phrasal verb as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 “You love to see it”. “Gammon/gammons”. Gammon is fantastic patter because it fits perfectly. It is admittedly rare for patter of this type to be good. "Snowflake" being a good example of how shite it can get. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most pish patter it’s had the arse kicked out of it and 99% of it’s use now is completely out of context on social media by thick c***s trying to use the latest hipster jargon to look cool trolling politicians or journalists, albeit most of them deserve the trolling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people I've seen complain about it are gammons themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammons tend to be cut and dried. Yeah, the ultimate Karen usually doesn’t have a job and lives off her husband as the school run takes too much of a toll on her daily routine. You could easily confuse a normal woman having a particularly bad/hormonal day for a Karen so it’s not always a reasonable insult. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gammon is fantastic patter because it fits perfectly. It is admittedly rare for patter of this type to be good. "Snowflake" being a good example of how shite it can get. Well said. Gammons are usually easy to spot. ”Snowflake”is a bit more ambiguous. There were lots of Snowflakes when Johnson was ill with COVID-19 wishing him a speedy recovery. They would probably resent being classed as Snowflakes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'**** up' on its own is not something I've ever heard uttered in real life I would class "f**k up" as being fairly commonly used where I grew up. Have seen it mentioned on here before that folk had never heard such a use, and always been surprised as I assumed it would be widely heard. f**k up you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Snowflake doesn't seem to mean anything like what it started as. Used to mean that someone was a precious, delicate wee flower who thought they deserved special treatment, then morphed into anyone who wasn't right-wing and found something offensive/unfair, and now basically means anyone who isn't right-wing and expresses a view on anything. Presumably because the fascists believe in taking power by force; talk is for weedy pigeons. Gammon still seems to mean the same thing; seething white men who get themselves red-faced over whatever (usually race-related) nonsense the Daily Mail are banging on about now. Bit difficult to get that one wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 'Shut the **** up' is common. '**** up' on its own is not something I've ever heard uttered in real life In "Shut the f**k up" shut up is the phrasal verb and "the f**k" is inserted for emphasis, so in that case "f**k up" is neither verb nor noun. f**k up can be a noun or separable phrasal verb in its own right though as in "What an almighty f**k up" or "Ade Azeez through on the keeper, he's going to f**k it up". Those uses are common in English but I've only ever encountered it as an imperative in the west of Scotland and that's with a different meaning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fully up-to-scratch on grammar tbh, so this is very interesting. The thing I'm complaining about is when, for example, someone on RangersMedia says something unpopular (such as 'Hibs actually played well') and someone else will respond with 'f**k up'. So are they issuing it as a command, or telling the person that they are a f**k up? It's not something I've heard in real life, but it annoys the tits off me when written 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
