Quoted from upthestripes
"The proof is in the pudding"

WTF does that even mean? It's in the eating, not in the pudding!


That's because it is a shortened version of the true saying and actually means nothing.

The proper saying is "The proof OF the pudding is in the eating".

It then becomes self explanatory.

Quoted from upthestripes
"My bad".

Bad is not a f*cking noun.
Stop encouraging the yanks to slaughter our language by copying the feckers.


Agreed.

Also commentators who use the phrase 'greasy surface' when they mean 'wet grass'.

"Ask him". That one's always baffled me. Ask him what? If he fancies a pint after the match? Will he lend me his lawnmower?

Non football phrases that do my head in are "blood" meaning friend I think and "innit"....... Aaaaaaaggh, I hate chav speak!!


You fill up my senses,
Like a barrel of Tetley's,
Like a packet of Woodbine,
Like a good pinch of snuff,
Like a night out in Cleethorpes,
Like a greasy chip butty,
O, Super Black and Whites,
Come fill me again
Na na naa naa naa naaaa TOWN!!
Na na naa naa na na naaaa
Na na naa naa na naaa naaa
Na na naa naa naa naaaaaaa!!!!!
