The words you just don't get thread?

[Without_a_Spoon]

Got words you just dont get..or hate?
Or even sayings?

First up, 'fit.'

It sh*ts me to tears when people (particulary Poms) are like oh that girl is 'fit.'
Like wtf is that?

 

[kia ora storm]

"Going forward"...

"Austraya"...is it somewhere in Europe ??.

 

[DragonPunk]

Girt wtf, no one ever uses it.

Girt wtf, no one ever uses it.

It might've been used more back when Advanced Australia Fair was written.

Words I don't get is all the latin terms that get used in business and law. They should all be made to use plain English.

It means she's "fit and flexible enough to fit on my chunky man-sausage." It's a stupid term.

[God-King Dean]

" Head over heels..... "
IT'S CALLED STANDING UP FFS!

 

[Nuke]

Yeah, that's one that I've never felt was right. It sounds better than 'heels over head', but I'm always head over heels unless I'm lying down. I guess the 'base over apex' or 'arse over tit' ones are both more correct and sound better.

And 'no' is just a shortened version of 'number'. Hope that helps, Azkatro. ;-)
