'Limbs'.
Not the act of genuinely letting emotion out at a game (ie us at Wembley after Bauer).
More the phrase - 'it was total limbs'.
My 15 year old son came back from Woking after they scored in the 89th minute and said 'Dad it was total limbs'.
Oh fuck off son - it was a load of pissed twats all jumping around like a load of bellends.8 -

The overuse of Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr's phrase, 'plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose'. It's even made an appearance, not once, but twice, on yesterday's post-match thread.
Here are some things to remember about this phrase for anyone contemplating its use. 1. Invariably, it adds nothing in terms of meaning. 2. If, by chance, you have stumbled across a situation where it is meaningful and relevant, it can just as easily be said in English. 3. Nobody will think you are big or clever. 4. Nobody will imagine that you are living a giddyingly sophisticated lifestyle, arguing the finer points of philosophy whilst sipping the outlandishly good coffees and brandies outside a Left Bank café in the Parisian sunshine.
Plus on l’utilise, plus je suis énervé.

"And that's a perfect segue into our next subject..."
As soon as a presenter (very often on a podcast) acknowledges a segue, it ceases to be a segue. A segue is "an uninterrupted transition from one piece of music or film scene to another". A good presenter knows they have segued into the next subject and doesn't need to celebrate their own luck or brilliance.
