Folk that think they're clever by using Latin in their dialogue...



On a related note, I was watching Beyond Stranger Things tonight (the companion panel show to Stranger Things). The actors and show creators on the panel kept saying "oh yeah, we did that from the gecko" as oppose to "from the get-go". The first one I thought might have been a slip of the tongue but I swear it happened 5 or 6 times from the mouths of different people.

That phrase in itself gets on my f***ing nipple ends, let alone getting the bloody thing wrong.

What ever happened to "from the start" as opposed to f***ing get-go, ffs.
 
I can still remember my school motto but I'm not 100% sure on the translation.

Parvis Imbutus Tentarbis Grandia Tutus.

It's something like "If you achieve small things you will achieve big things greatly" which is a load of bollocks as Barney offered scholarships to anyone who looked half decent at rugby while taking the money from parents with dense kids.
 
... but get it wrong.

These scratters boil my piss.

Couple on today's A Place In The Sun. The woman (100% wadnt) kept saying how certain properties "ticked boxes ek-cetera" instead of "etcetera". She probably writes "ect" instead of "etc", as well.

General rule: Especially if you're on TV, don't try and look clever by using words that either aren't in your vocabulary or words that you don't know about.

There may be other examples of this practice, but I'm too upset about this assault on common sense & decency.
Carpet DM me hun.
 
Forgive me, please. I was referring to a popular website that explains words n that.

www.dictionary.com

In essence, I used one of two ways to write the expression.

Also, I'm not posh and don't profess to be, so I feel your satire is a tad misdirected. With respect.
Yes ya do. Remember ya portaloo for party thread. Goon. Great music and bants. You sounded pathetic and got rinsed for it

Only one for me is untrinique paratus.
