Here are Nathan Brown and Dale Thomas trying to pronounce "deoxyribonucleic acid" (DNA)

 
I turned off the lights to hide the mess around it :grinv1: . Yes, that's an old cassette deck; a cheap Denon, in fact

so many nights in bed, lights off, room partially lit by the cassette deck......listening to danger lowbrow
 
Tim Watson: "there are two serieses"
Tim Watson: "there are two serieses"
What grinds my gears about Watson is his pseudo intellectual considered pretence, manufactured by his employers and played along with by his colleagues - because he reads the news and wears glasses.

When in reality he’s an under-educated country hayseed.

The same guy flogged the word ‘expediated’ around town for years - until SEN finally got the message the word is Ex-PE-DI-TED. Lyon had to actually ask people to stop calling in.

Self-Education is like practicing the same bad golf swing, over and over. You think it’s going great, till you meet a golfer.

There are a few things he repeatedly says wrong, such as “characterture“.
Have you heard the old clip of him when he sounds like real bogan?
He said, “oiy just wanna be part of a premmaship soyd.”
He obviously taught himself how to speak more “poshly”. I can just imagine him driving around practicing how to say “demarnd” and “side” instead of “soyd”. :grinv1:

I picked him when he started breakfast radio - nobody who reads anything could be that ignorant outside of Essendon and NFL.
 
Dermott, Hawks v Saints.

"He's just over clubbed by foot."

Now I know what he means but I haven't heard those two words as a combination since the late 70s / early 80s when we used it to tease another kid who wasn't as athletic as the rest of us or who was a bit unco in certain tasks.

'What, have you got a clubbed foot or something?'

It's a golf term, where you take too much club - hitting it further than needed. So overclubbing is overkicking the ball
