    "Semantics". Nothing wrong with it as a word, but the irony of not knowing exactly what it means is lost on the people who say "That's just semantics" when they should say "That's a matter of interpretation" or something similar.

    Had a customer in me office just 2 weeks ago who looked at me and without a smile said

    I had to resist punching him.

    Do people really say these things? Out loud? To other people? :shock: :shock: :shock:

    Yes, unfortunately they do! The chap concerned is a particular tw@t mind.
    He's constantly 'running things by you', and 'looking for feedback' - I'll give him effing feedback!!!

    I want to punch this thread in the side of its ear, when will the hurting stop? Worst of all, I can't stop myself reading every post to see if it can get any worse...

    Oh, and 'chillax'

    And saying 'cool' when the smallest of things is, like, acceptable.

    I think chillax was 1st coined in the 80s!

    I hate this insistence on calling the police the "feds" and Pounds "Dollars"... I mean I don't min a bit of inventiveness when it comes to language but when kids try to pretend they live in Queens/Bronx/South LA, I mean could they not be a bit more original and create something new and London/British?
