Oh god, here we go:
- People who call PCs (as a complete entity) the "Hard Drive": why then, don't you call your car "The Engine" or "The Brakes"?
- Apples (the fruit): shiny, sweet, horrid things. Why the fuck are you popular?
- Birds: you bunch of airbourne twats! The other dinosaurs had the decency to die out, why can't you?
- Mouth Ulcers: why, God, why? Definitive prove of the non-existence of a benign God.
- Holidays: I hate 'em. If I'm away from home for more than 48hrs I get antsy. God knows what I'd be like if I ever had to do time.
- Window blinds: what the fuck is wrong with curtains?
- Having to repeat myself: this one is unfair, as I'm a very soft-spoken mumbler, but it's part of the magic that is me.

That's enough for now.

I have found myself referring to 'Hard Drive' to denote the PC otherwise
the folks in the office stand open mouthed and stare at me uncomprehendingly. Sometimes a little dribble of saliva will make a break for it if they stand still for too long. Having spent many of my formative years in tech support it makes me die a little inside every time I say it.

Apples.
Apples vary enormously.
There are the sweet bland things that are sort of apple-shaped, and picture perfect beloved by the supermarkets.
And then there are the rest, varying from ones that explode with juice, to ones that are as bitter as the taste left by the promises of a manifesto, to ones that are almost potatos.

Engine
is an unusual synecdoche but 'motor' or 'wheels' are easily enough understood, aren't they?

'Hard drive' is idiotic though.
