I must have this wrong but I can't figure out why commentators on boring football matches inveriably describe them as turgid when flaccid should be used to my mind.
It was even used incorrectly in an advert, Citroen I think, about dancing robots, the man in the Citroen factory said "and with delicious irony, this ones doing the robot"
A robot dancing the robot is not ironic.
That bint who's name I can't spell wrote a whole song about irony in the 90's and most of what she calls ironic in the lyrics aren't ironic at all. I suppose that's ironic in itself.
'Dinner' when referring to lunch. Where were these people dragged up ?
As a youngster living in a good working class area, we had three meals a day, breakfast, dinner and tea. It was only when I was elevated above the status of my birth by going to a grammar school that I learnt about lunch.
I come from a very working class family and we always called the evening meal dinner. To us it was northerners who called it tea.

I've heard this crap from my brothers' kids. When I was telling them how to spell a word I used the normal letters then they insisted the teacher makes them say the letters phonetically e.g. aah, ber, ker, der, eh, fff, guh etc. What a load of shit.

As used by various publications to describe people I've never heard of who once appeared on some reality show I've never heard of.

The other day she said to me "daddy, why do you say me instead of my. Is it because you're from the olden days?"
