Don Diego De la Vega Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Folk wearing backpacks but only using one of the shoulders.Surely a generational thing? Certainly when I was at school anyone wearing double straps were generally oftw. Even now I don't feel right having both on. Wonder what was the catalyst for the change in trends? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be really uncool to double strap it but practically speaking it is actually really annoying to carry it over one shoulder for any length of time. Try and bend down to pick something up when you’re one shouldering it. It’s a fiasco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it useful for describing anything? The word vacation is already perfectly adequate, it literally just means going a holiday, it doesn't specify overseas travel. I'd argue that anycunt using "vacation" in Scotland should also be castrated so that they don't reproduce and pass on their terrible habits to their unfortunate kids but that's just me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a 'take out' delivered as opposed to a take away. f**k off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
