No Batty, my birdies don't play politics. its one of my favorite things about them.

I used to hate cheats like 'prolly' until I started texting on my phone. Suddenly cheats make sense.

Your BIL's comment makes me remember Mom yelling "Walk on your feet!" at me as a kid. I used to tippytoe evvy where. Drove Mom nuts.

I too get sick of hearing phrases like that. Lately the one I can't stand is "To tell you the truth..." what is that supposed to mean. If you don't start by saying that phrase am I supposed to assume you aren't telling the truth every time you speak.....Dahhh

OOooOooOo, I hate "Nothing personal but..." or "Don't take this the wrong way..."
If you have to start a sentence that way KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!! You are about to hurt some feelings or start a fight!!!

To tell you the truth and don't take it the wrong way, but I really hat e when people make up stupid pet peeves just to have something to complain about. In all honesty, this thread is getting ridiculous. Nothing personal...........

Close your eyes. Let me guide you. Dank old shirt with perma-sweat marks with a delicate scent of mildew inside the collar. Bug spray, the oily sticky kind that smells like it could burn your nostril hairs off. Sunscreen - the wonderful coconutty kind? No, the kind that smells like it came from the back cabinet of the doctor's office, the cabinet people are afraid to open. Wet socks, wet leather boots.

Do you get the complete scent-picture now? This is why Mrs. Dacs prays for his services to be so in demand. She's on her fifth washing machine and wants this one to last more than a month.

Does he shriek bird noises at you when he's happy to see you?

Batty politely requests we change subjects and move along. No more catching up, please.

Reminds me of "to be frank". As opposed to weasily?


Speaking of frank, my maiden name started with "F" and my mom used to have to spell it for people otherwise they'd think she was saying "Fink", or "Sick". So I grew up wondering if my last name was "Effasinfrank i c k".

I dont' want to be Frank and for that matter dont' call me Shirley

Nothing personal, but go hang it on your beak.

Actually, Batty's nose isn't that big.

Husband says, "Take the right tact."

OK- TECHNICALLY it is correct. But it cheeses me off. He also has the Tombstone accent where alll his descriptor words end in "TH". So, "heigth", "Weigth", "width", "length"......."yellowth"

Teeth don't impaction? Huh? I'm so confused. Mostly 'cause I was bluffing / making up something that sounded logical to make me appear knowledgeable and deny Wegot's pertinent point.

Pretty sure impaction is when things fail to move.
Like when DH eats too much cheese...

When a horses intestinal tract is backed up it's called an impaction. So yes, it's what they DON'T do.

As long as his breadth isn't equal to his heighth you should be okay.
