One of the Carlton cheer squad shiteaters barracking (I can't call it commentating) on the Carlton-Richmond VFL game said Harvey Langford did his draft hopes "no dis-harm".

Better English would be ‘a feeling of discomfort’, but the yanks think you can put ‘ly’ on anything and make it a word -( but then they drop ‘ly’ of adverbs like ‘really, quickly,’ etc.)

A lot of interests getting "peaked" (as opposed to "piqued") by teams and players around this time of the year, as we head towards the trade period.

And "join the cue", or "right on cue", instead of queue. Very common on the forum.

Hmm, I'd have though "Right on cue" is correct, as in they didn't miss their cue. The commentators are talking about something and then it happens. "Toby's the danger man for GWS with the ball inside 50 and - right on cue - Greene creates something out of nothing!"

The one that makes me laugh the most is when some little smartie on a clip does something they think is amazing or a surprise and they exclaim or write, “Walla!”

They mean, of course, “Voila!”
