"I've never done nothing. That one winds me up, they don't realise it's a double negative! " Many languages use double negative to enforce the negative, English is a mathematical language, 2 negatives make a positive. | |||

"The Mrs used to believe the phrase was "Don't kick a gift horse in the mouth" also, irregardless." An old work friend of mine, who's sadly no longer with us, used to jokingly say "Don't look a gift horse up the nose" so that's what I use for it now. | |||

"My sister would say 'borrow my some money ' when she wanted me to lend her money. Even lend was not accurate some of the time as she forgot I had given if to her." There is an advert I hear on the radio for a company that insures cars for small time periods. One of the actors on there, talking about his car breaking down, says 'I'm going to have to lend me mates' It's 'borrow' you fuckwit 😡 | |||

"'Chomping at the bit' ffs, a horse doesn't chomp it champs at the bit Even the BBC get that one wrong. It really grinds my gears. Like 'tenderhooks' instead of tenterhooks. FFS " Champ is a real world, it's just a bit archaic, just like spelling jail the English way as GAOL. Chomp is used because it is a biting word and makes it look as if the horse is chewing the bit and is fired up ready to bolt. so... Champ vs. chomp: both are a verb you may have heard interchangeably within this not-so-common phrase. Champing stems from an old Middle English word that has been around for at least 600 years and relates to the grinding of a horse’s teeth Chomping means to munch or chew noisily or vigorously Not only are the words similar in spelling, the actions are similar too. This is a classic accepted mistake, like calling pronouncing T as CH, in Tuseday, tune and tuna. | |||

""Quite unique" or "really unique". Makes me want to scream. Something is unique or it's not. And in a different way, "Home made" for mass produced items. Whose *****ing home?" I've noticed a trend in restaurants for calling food 'home cooked'. Also 'pan fried'...what else are you going to fry it in? | |||

"‘Ain’t’ instead of ‘am not’ The term 'ain’t' denotes the amalgamation of 'am not,' 'are not,' and 'is not.' In certain dialects, it may additionally signify 'has not,' 'have not,' 'do not,' 'does not,' and 'did not.' 'Ain’t' constitutes a contraction, originating as a succinct fusion of 'am' and 'not.' Generally speaking, 'ain’t' is regarded as an informal expression, prevalent in colloquial discourse, yet eschewed in formal writing or speech. Sigh 😮💨 " Nah, I ain't having that. | |||
