Dahlings, again long time no blog! Unforgivable!
So how are you all? Really? Dropped off completely? Frightful.
Right, back to me.
A little while ago Sister Wolf, whose blog sometimes shocks and unsettles but is never ever boring, as she is ferociously clever and possessed of a mordant wit, asked which two words her readers hated most. Sister Wolf listed "fiscal cliff" and commenters came up with equally excellent ones such as "now trending" and "gangnam style". At the time I could only think of "ironing board" which I felt was not quite up to scratch.
But now I feel able to contribute:
DRUM KIT
Yes, Boy 2 has taken up the drums.
Quelle joie!
Ooh, another two annoying words - I'm on fire!
My Bad!
ReplyDeleteI think criminal law recognises as a valid defence to punching someone, their prior use of this expression. No really.
DeleteAt this point in time...
ReplyDeleteDebs, stop it, you are killing me..
DeleteEuphonium, trombone
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain.
together we could do some German oompah music
DeleteOh my. (That's about the drum set.) I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteI suppose my least favorite two words are "clothing budget."
Brilliant, my blood runs cold at the very thought..
DeleteNice to touch base with you again Blighty! Sorry, touch base :P
ReplyDeleteTouch base! cringe!
Deleteoh blights, welcome back! if you are indeed back or maybe you are just teasing me.
ReplyDeletewhatever. it's only one word but i've been seeing it everywhere...totes. ugh.
Totes is Essex speak - as in "totes amaze". Another Essex ism is "well jel" which means really jealous..
DeleteAbout the drums that is! I can't think of any annoying words which in itself is rather annoying.
ReplyDeleteTest cricket!!!! I will probably be deported for saying that!
ReplyDeleteHere we are feeling a bit smug about the old cricket at the moment..
DeleteMy two least liked words are "absent Blighty". Well, I know you have an actual life to get on with so, of course, I can't be complain. Besides we have been stalking each other on Pinterest so that fills the void. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, yes I am really enjoying pinching all your Pinterest pics! And actual real life is soooo annoying!
DeleteYes the horror of it all.
ReplyDelete"At this time." Oops, that's three. How about "The American people." Three again. How about.....
ReplyDeleteI had one of those thingies whan I was a teenager and my Mom made me play it at the bottom of the garden in the old tool shed.
Two most annoying words? I'll go with "ConDems" and "Labour". Although 'annoying' doesn't quite cover it ...
ReplyDeleteMy lad had a drum kit. It is now serving as a repository for discarded clothes of varying degrees of cleanliness in his bedroom. My dreams of being a rock and roll mom dashed forever!
My son drums too, it's lovely hearing him play with his band, the solo practising, not so lovely. Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteWE have a drum kit too. I feel your pain.
ReplyDeletehmmm - my annoying words 'the journey' Every bugger is on a journey - dancers, ice skaters, people who eat bugs in the jungle *pah* also *Scrooge face*
Have a lovely Christmas, Blighty!
AX
The last picture of the drums makes me want to drum. I miss it.
ReplyDelete"Swoon" is on my list, as is "upscale".
