Verbal Faux Pas, Jargon, Cliches, Boganisms, etc

[FreddyTwoShoes]

Jeez, I'm sick of bogans saying "100%" instead of "absolutely, yes", or similar.

What’s even worse is “he always gives 110% effort”.
So, 10% more than his own maximum effort???
I know what they’re saying but it sh*ts me to tears.

 

[MauroFogheri]

No. They’d have to hear someone else say it and for it to register.

I once heard Bert Newton in his radio days mention someone’s demise and pronounce it “de-mees”.

Elyse Knowles had her 15 mins after The Block but probably could have done with spellcheck for Voila

Just saw some footage of Al Clarkson consoling Ben Dickson on the recent death of a family member (I believe his Dad) and saying "Vale, Joe Dickson" (apologies if I've got the name wrong) and pronouncing it as in "veil". It's pronounced "vah-lay". And given the circumstances of when a person would use the term, it's not like they're ever going to be pulled up on it in the moment.

Hilarious

That's up there with Christopher Moltisanti saying "he's the hair apparent"

She can misspell and mispronounce anything she wants.

I’d be surprised if most people these days even know what the word is and what it means. But it sounds cool, right?

Feel like we could get Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti involved here somehow.

If I hear one more player use the word "hopefully in an interview I will spew up.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Can someone tell me if there’s such a word as “coronated”? I’ve heard it several times. Shouldn’t it be “crowned?

You are correct. A person is crowned at a coronation.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

gord! Who said that?

Could hear Brent Harvey saying that.

It's one of those words that people see written more than they hear spoken hence the confusion I suppose, but I agree it is a bit annoying.

Edit: Others have already made this point I now see.

"credit to the boys" just looked over its shoulder, your just a dot in the distance.

Just saw this on Facebook. Penguin Books no less!



The comments were all horrified.

(Oscar with a "k"? WTF?!): "We walk tallerer when Libba's around"

Libby Birch on 3AW: "there's a few Spitfires breaking out around the ground"

A 3aw talkback caller said he was looking forward to "Francis-Horne" then "Fran-Horncis" playing for "Port Melbourne" against North

Some guy on the NRL broadcast this afternoon said about someone: "He's 30 years of old"

That's the German spelling of the name.

Every other caller on 3AW, football related or not sounds like a drunk and/or a bogan. Its quite remarkable.
Then again Ross in the morning is the biggest knuckle dragger of all time so...
