NJ2 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 "As if" recently being used as "as if my b/f has just gone and bought me a Big Mac meal" "Fiat 500" “As if” seems to have replaced “that awkward moment when”. Infuriatingly used to describe a completely non-awkward event. I blame Alanis Morissette 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 “Health and Safety would never allow it now.” When used in reference to something that any sensible parent wouldn’t allow. Even more annoying "you can't do that because of political correctness", when they actually mean "health and safety". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad talks about hair-raising stuff that used to go on at building sites, invariably finishing with an attack on Health and Safety culture. I really don't get the logic in why you'd be annoyed about your employer having to consider your physical safety over a bit of extra profit that you'll never see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Facebook page dedicated to the town in which I grew up which is basically populated by people who want to blame the "greedy council" for...well, pretty much everything. Recently someone posted a photo from the 1950's or thereabouts, showing a workman up a ladder on the roof of the town hall, making some repairs to the top of the flagpole. The poor b*****d had no harness, no ropes, nobody footing the ladder at the bottom, nothing to prevent him being killed or at least, horribly injured should a gust of wind cause the ladder to slide. It was both comical and sad how many people though this was a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An American saying that's found its way over here. Know what I mean? is a bad one. Always added on to a completely obviously account. "Couldn't make it, car broke down, know what I mean?" Yes, I think I follow you so far. Edited February 8, 2018 by Sergeant Wilson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was both comical and sad how many people though this was a good thing. When at Uni I had a summer job with a building firm , early 70's. We were working in what is now Nelson Mandela Place in Glasgow. 3 floors up on scaffolding, no harness or anything. A barrow full of bricks would be hoisted up at one end and I had to run with it along these planks to where the bricky was working. The only advice given was " If the barra starts to coup don't try to catch it " Presumably so that you didn't follow it over the edge. Also presumably any pedestrians walking beneath would be considered the architects of their own demise for being daft enough to walk under scaffolding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, but they've been massively reduced despite their huge success in reducing industrial accidents. So now ambulance chasers step in and H&S gets the blame, which gives politicians cover for cutting their budget even more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
