Phrase of the Day

Post by Mike »

Here are a few quotes from last nights PQ. The jokes were going thick and fast last night which was fantastic.

Fashion Pleb - Refering obviously to person making misjudged comment about a non-existant fashion faux paux

'Let the Crazy out, The crazy is claustraphobic' - Since this was a quote I think we should all take note and act accordingly. . . . .

'Tactical Chunder' - This is the bolemia of the alcohol world, it is where you make yourself ill to feel better and drink more. . . . disturbing?

I was hoping to wait for these to be posted but I could not wait that long! :D

My personal favourite was 'Nob off!'. Which was said in response to some members of the group having spent four days pretending to be students again, whilst the rest of us worked! Not that I'm bitter or anything...

There was no pretending going on I assure you. We were students again in every sense of the word. I can guarantee that I will not be doing the student thing when I have to go to work the next day! :D

Attribute those quotes, sir! Let's make a good show of it and do things by the book, old bean.

I'll let you off for not putting it in italics after the quotes.

In a somewhat unrelated turn of events, Nick was also right about something: consortium is actually 2nd declension neuter, and singular. Hence it follows donum (...donum, doni, dono: dona, dona, donorum, donis), and consortia was the correct plural. Thankyou Latin dictionary!

It's not sodding third declension plural after all. *wonders off muttering about gerundives to himself*

I like phrases like ''Dulce Didi Decoor..... blah'' (Some latin crap) anyway it translates as ''Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down''

On my School's Spanish holiday I learnt the phrase ''CBFA'' and whenever I see Mahira or Lizzie we now shout it at each other, even in front of the kids (Can't Be Fucking Arsed).

Personal favourite line of insult - ''You're a menky, mauling, window-licker, sort it out!''

I always hate people who say really obvious things like ''You'll get wet when it pours''

My particular favourite phrase involves the friction that the staff feel towards the senior management regarding the new payment structure and the impending strike action. On Wednesday, this gem was heard
''I'd rather put my testicles in a blender than sweet talk around you and kiss your arse'' - by a certain Geography teacher that my friends know. My respect levels for him grew immensely. He is a GOD!!!!

From Hollyoaks

''What are you? Mutton dressed as spam?''

It made me and Fez chuckle on a Sunday morning after a drinking session.
