"Thingie". I hate that word.

I've noticed lately that some businesses are saying "anyways" in radio commercials. I refuse to patronize a business that can't even speak properly in an advertisement.

I love this thread.

Just for you - from a show that's actually quite well written, but ANYWAYS....

Beer (series 2)
Blackadder: Is the turnip ready for the turnip surprise?
[Lord Percy and Baldrick start snickering.]
Baldrick: Yes it is, my lord.
Blackadder: Then what is so funny?
Lord Percy: While preparing the turnip surprise, we had a surprise. We came across a turnip that was exactly the same shape as a thingy.
Blackadder: Oh, really?
Lord Percy: It was a great big thingy.
Baldrick: I found it particularly ironic my lord, because I've got a thingy shaped like a turnip.

Of course, and only in a vivid shade of red...

Alarms, like bombs are something which are set to 'go off' not 'go on'. Right?

And how about traps? When one sets a trap, for instance, we don't say it goes 'on' we say it goes 'off'.

My flash went off when it wasn't supposed to, and that really sets ME off.

satee and matching chair
gold otterman
a trussel table

and loads of

dinning chairs!!!

Yeah, I just bet he does.

Josh Satin, infielder for the Mets? What does he have against Israel?
