Those examples are relatable but I always heard it being said after something slightly left field. "It's just one of they things, know what I mean?" No, I don't know what you mean. One of what things? 9 hours ago, Newbornbairn said: "ken?" (regional accents will vary) 9 hours ago, Cosmic Joe said: The Dundee version of this is to add something that sounds like "iye" to the end of a statement. This came up when I was very hungover the next morning at a friends party last year. We ended up putting the different variations together, including a weird inbreathing gasp contributed from somewhere in north/middle englishland. When you have started, it is very hard to stop ending every sentence with "...eh aye but ken like ah!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a previous job I actually said to the CEO " it's Ken's. I dinnae ken if you ken Ken, ken?" The horror on my bosses face was fantastic. Partly because he fucked up worse than me when the CEO pulled out a rotten totally black banana out of the thermal jacket pocket he'd been given by my boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 A new guy joined our team a couple of weeks ago. I popped into his office to say hello. I'm standing chatting, on my way to get a coffee. Holding my Star Trek mug, and I spot on his desk a model Enterprise and Galileo. Well, great, I think. Another one. So I'm chatting away, pointing this out. He tells me he and his wife are watching Deep Space Nine. Great, I replied. I'm going through it again, too. After a few minutes I realise he's watching DS9 for the first time. He's never seen Voyager, any of the movies, not even heard of any of the shows that started after the reboot. And he's only seen some of the original series and Next Generation. I reckon I should confiscate his models until he's earned the right to have them on his desk, but that might be seen as theft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof probably told him how to get on your good side and get you to do most of his work. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prof had an absolute minter on Monday. It was part of an email chain with the timetabling team about his teaching next semester. All very positive but their proposal was to put his class on a Friday. He wasn't happy. His response to me was quite angry (they're trying to sabotgage my class, don't know what they're doing, etc). Except...he accidentally sent this to the timetabling team and not to me. Now, if there is anyone in the uni you do not want to cheese off, it's these guys. They'll give you the dreaded Monday morning/Friday afternoon combo. He apologised but I reckon he's burnt a bridge there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this because years ago when I started posting on here I saw people say Graun or Grauniad - posters of a certain type - and I had no idea what they were talking about and had to look it up. Hideous patter that probably dates from the days of black and white. Get it to f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
