This is a question Annoying words and phrases

Marketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.

Thanks to simbosan for the idea

Annoying Phrases?

Worst has to be:

"TIME, GENTLEMEN PLEASE"

Makes me want to cry. But leads me on to a story about a pub I used to drink in in the 80s. Closing time back then was 10:30.

"TIME, GENTLEMEN PLEASE" yelled the landlord.

"HALF-PAST TEN!!!" yelled the crowd. "Funny fuckers" muttered landlord.

So, after a few weeks of this he changed to:

"CAN YOU SEE YOUR GLASSES OFF PLEASE"

And 200 drunk rockers would yell:

"BYE-BYE GLASS"

Then, my favourite. Took a bit of co-ordination but was worth it.

"CAN I HAVE YOUR GLASSES NOW PLEASE" yelled landlord

and 200 drunken punters buried him in a pile of 10p plastic sunglasses.

"GET OUT - YOU'RE ALL BARRED"

Cheers
