Jeremy Kyle-isms (one of the dubious pleasures of being recently retired..)

"step up to the mark/plate.."

You're having nothing to do with my kid..youre only a "sperm donor".

OK, enough of him..

"a bit of a learning curve/steep learning curve"..

like you need to learn algebra to appreciate how your learning is going...

OK, this post needs a bit of CLOSURE

The phrase 'of an evening' has become commonplace over the last few years and for some reason really bugs me. Why 'of an evening'? It means nothing. Why not 'in the evening'?

For me the two worst words as opposed to phrases are "wow" and " fab". I went for a meal with my wife's work colleagues (she w as there as well!) recently. They are all college lecturers and everything was described as "fab" even if it was only fairly good. Plus, the remotest good thing was prefixed by "wow". I am getting a real complex my 2 yr old grandson drew half a dozen circles and they were fab - no they bxx well weren't ! I'm sick of the words.

Doctors and nurses who state that they're just going to 'pop'
Pop you into bed
Pop this tablet in your mouth
Pop you on this bedpan
Pop this needle in you a**e
Pop this pacemaker in your chest
Pop my finger up you bottom
Pop this thermometer under your tongue [I've wiped it since I popped it up his bottom]

And so it goes on

How about: "and so and so turned round and said..."
LOL. Why do they always have to turn round and say something? Is that to distinguish turning round to speak from talking out of your backside, perhaps?
