Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

[Brother Blades]

People who make ridiculous statements.

“I died laughing”

“I fell apart at that news, so upsetting”

“I’ll kill him/her the next time I see them”

“They were literally talking shite”

The list is endless (or is it)!!!

I believe they are referred to as metaphors.

I was having a meal on the hotel terrace in Jersey with my Mum and Dad, and a gull swooped and grabbed my Mum's entire steak before she had a bite. Me and my Dad laughed our heads off.

Not allowed to use a knife and fork?

My other half always says fork and knife, as do the rest of her family.

Is this a weirdo Moray thing? @Melanius Mullarkey

 

Eta: not so much of a PTTGOYN when her mum says (what sounds like) "can get you get f***in' knives out"

I believe they are referred to as metaphors. 

I believe they are still moronic statements & you need to learn the meaning of metaphor. Comparing one item to another- “Her eyes were like pools” is a metaphor.

 

ETA- don’t you feel as thick as a whale? Metaphorically speaking.

- “Her eyes were like pools” is a metaphor.

That's a simile.

[Brother Blades]

That's a simile.

Is it?

[Brother Blades]

This is a smilie🤪

[Brother Blades]

Yes, I used the word “like”. But none of my above statements are similes or metaphors.











Hope I’ve rescued myself here, but doubt it greatly, like. - Simile.

Welshbairn's post that you quoted and your first two examples are metaphors. 

Apology accepted.

Probably. Sounds like a  Douglas Ross type of thing.

The fact that Mr Tumble continues to walk around a free man whilst he's clearly guilty of some hideous, deviant crime of a sexual nature.

FTFY

Shite, I was in a Japanese restaurant the other week with a few guys from work, usually the waitress takes your order and asks if anyone needs cutlery, as it's chopsticks on the table.

I ask for a fork and knife - my boss bursts out laughing and the woman looks like I've just insulted her entire family. Came back with just a knife. There's a high chance someone spat in my dinner because they thought I'm after a fucking knife [emoji849]

Should have done the decent thing and performed hari kiri on yourself.

[Hedgecutter]

As far as I'm concerned, that's a reasonable sample size now reached.

So there we have it then.  People from Moray are fucking mental.

Moray pensioners are grassing c***s

The majority of people from Moray eat with their hands so I can’t really blame them for getting it wrong.

You can play the victim-blaming card all you like, but I shall not let my hot food go cold all because I waited to find a place to eat it indoors, hunting around town for some form of shelter in which to cower.

I shall stand up for our human rights.  I shall stand up for principles.  I shall stand up in defiance.  I shall stand up and eat my food outside.  However, I shall not, and we shall not bow down to tyranny from the skies.  They may take our pies, but they'll never take our freedom.

now we know why the Germans invented the pickelhaube (spiked helmet). They were anti-scorrie devices so that the Kaiser could eat his sausages in peace (or in pieces).
