‘Bombshell’, and Other Irritating Words and Expressions

So okay, let me reach out to all you fellow cunters. I know that in the grand scheme of things, it’s a trivial cunting at the end of the day. But like, the use of the term ‘bombshell’ boils my piss, and I so mean literally boils my piss dude.

For example, ‘Prince Harry’s “bombshell” memoir. Or Prince Andrew’s ‘bombshell’ interview. Oh hang on; that interview wasn’t a ‘bombshell’, it was a ‘car crash’ (or a ‘dumpster fire’, for the benefit of our American friends).

YouTube

One of these days you’re going to pick up your copy of ‘The Metro’ to see the headline ‘Knee’s “Bombshell” Fury’ splashed across the front page. Or maybe they’ll go for ‘ Pensioner Grandad Ron’s “Bombshell” Shock’ , to add a bit of personal interest. It’ll be a ‘bombshell’ outrage either way.

Anyhow, I’m really offended, and think that THEY should apologise; step up to the plate, know what I mean? I’m going to get a gin and tonic, see if I can’t chillax a bit.

  1. Not the same thing I know, but people who start their sentences with ‘so’ boils my pissšŸ˜‰

  2. Any Englishman who describes something as awesome should be pistol whipped and deported to California.

    On that bombshell I’m off the pub.

    Amazeballs šŸ‘

  3. Good nom, Ron.

    Fucking fake words are even worse than “buzz words”. In an article for BBC online, that Mrs Twenty read this morning, Sean Coughlan (Royal Correspondent) used the fake word “opaqueness”. What a cunt. “Royal Correspondent”, ffs!

    Good morning, everyone.

    • Jennie Bond was the best BBC Royal Co-respondent. Filmed outside Buck House wearing a faux red leather coat she used to look like she was on the hunt for a client.
      ‘Hello big boy, would you like a French lesson?’

      • I see what you did there, GT. Top marks! Ticky awarded.

      • And she owns the most awful
        pair of legsā€¦
        They may have looked better on a throne.

    • Thanks Twenty.

      There are so many of these that really get on my tits. ‘Challenging’, ‘vulnerable’, ‘meltdown’, ‘life-limiting’ (you’re fucked), ‘let go’ (fired), ‘Passed on/over’ (dead), ‘differently abled’.

      I hate twee euphemisms; ‘romping’ (shagging), ‘adult entertainment’ (porn) and woman who refer to ‘hubby’.

      I hate it when politicians use expressions such as ‘I’m minded to…’, or duck and dive direct questions with ‘I’ll take that under advisement’ or ‘we need to talk about the issues that really matter to the British people’.

      It’s all just a train wreck as far as I’m concerned.

      Morning all.

      • ‘seeking closure’
        eighties ‘West coast’ therapy culture has a lot to answer for.

        That and valley-speak.

        Come on San Andreas time for a massive seizure.

  4. Chill out, chillax, take a chill pill (murder for the inventor/s of)
    Horrified or shocked, for the most mundane of events.
    Our thoughts and prayers go out to blah blah whoever.
    People who say ‘yeah, no’. Pick one or the other fuckface.
    Basically.

  5. There certainly appears to be a crisis in the overuse of superlatives and soaring use of dumb arse expressions.
    Words like ermā€¦ Crisis and soaring for example.
    ā€˜Tomato shortage crisis sends prices soaringā€™
    Give me a fucking break!
    And what about ā€˜grilledā€™?
    ā€˜MPs grilled at enquiryā€™
    What?
    As in laid on a rack and cooked under 200 degree heat?
    Actually, not a bad idea.
    Iā€™d also recommend the same treatment for any journalist, reporter or editor who uses such pathetic language.

  6. ‘Like’.

    So, I was like going to the shops, when I like ran into Jenny and like said it was like going to rain.

    Gaaarrr!

    ‘Reach out’ and ‘Stakeholders’.

    I think we should reach out to our stakeholders and manage our relationship interfaces.

    Translates as: We should contact the relevant parties and ask them if they know anyone who can help.

    Again, Gaaarrr!

  7. ā€˜Exact date a snow bomb will hit the UKā€™ or the weather forecast for (insert date) will be widespread snow, no bomb will be exploded anywhere in the UK

    The most annoying term for me is Far Right which seems to be applied to anyone white outside Islington.

    As we are in a permanent state of crisis I propose adding the annoying word to the cunt list ā€˜permacrisisā€™ and yes it is real

    Off to have a relaxing coffee and custard cream before I have a meltdown.

    • I think we should try to get the ball rolling on ‘the loony left’ again. There’s a lot of those cunts about these days.

  8. No, wait, ā€¦.
    Aargh!
    Iā€™m not waiting for anything, you stupid boy (usually!).

  9. Reading facebook posts using ‘I could care less’

    You fucking dickheads.

    starting sentences with ‘so..’

    two recent ones to look out for; the overuse of iconic for something that isn’t remotely iconic in the broadest sense.

    The redundant use of ‘unironically’.

    What these gen Z and millennial cunts mean is ‘sincerely’ or ‘genuinely’.

    ‘Going/moving forward…’

    How about you ‘FOAD’?
    (Fuck Off And Die)

    • ā€˜Iā€™m not sorry about thatā€™ – ā€˜daughter taught me that one. Comes in handy when ā€˜fuck off you retardā€™ is banned in the meeting room.

  10. For me, the most annoying sentence in the English language comes from the yanks. It occurs immediately after settlement of payment on most occasion one leaves the premises, for example, shops. My immediate reply is the acronym, HAND. I then make my exit, leaving whoever, perplexed.

    • according to poor old Cunty Chops, George Carlin really hated white people.

      • I think itā€™s more nuanced than that – he hated the establishment, which, in the context of his times was easily summarised as white republican. He grew up in New York surrounded by Irish, Italian and African Americans, and hung around with all of them. His comedy was of a time that predated George Floyd and BLM – so he may have invoked the white vs black trope for comedy shorthand (as Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and other contemporaries did) but fundamentally he hated bullshit and Iā€™m as certain as I can be heā€™d have had a lot to say about modern identity politics. Iā€™m not saying we wouldnā€™t have profoundly disagreed on some politics – particularly abortion – but he intensely distrusted government and attempts to promote mass conformity of thinking.

        Naturally it comes back to the principle of free thinking, and this site; we wonā€™t agree on everything, but it doesnā€™t mean we canā€™t learn from each other.

        Apart from that he did some fucking funny routines.

  11. Others that get on my onions are….

    Jaw dropping. ‘Oooh. Taylor Swift’s latest shite is jaw dropping’. Fuck off.

    Legend. Every has been or useless tosser is now described as a ‘legend’.
    A Man United legends team, featuring Poborsky, Djemba Djemba (so bad they named him twice) and Phil Neville. Oh, my sides.

    Greatest ever. Millennial cunts and knobheads always think that crap from their time is the ‘greatest ever’. When it is anything but.

    And fucks wjho use the word rape instead of nicked make me fucking sick. Gen Z bastards who say ‘youv’e raped my crisps’ when somebody has nicked a couple. It’s not a word to be used flippantly and it’s not funny. Is it any wonder that I despise students and millennials?

    And anyone who says ‘cheeky’. As in ‘a cheeky nandos’ or a ‘cheeky coffee’ or ‘a cheeky KFC’ wants whacking in the mush with an ACME style anvil. I absolutely hate it.

    • ‘Cheeky’ has really crept into use in football, as in ‘we should make a cheeky bid for Salah…’

    • Taylor Swift can get fucked, too. I’m surprised none of the faithful have cunted the attention seeking slag, actually.

      • Think I cunted her a couple of months ago, Cuntis.
        The bony slag is ubiquitous.

        Thinking of cunting that talentless tune free cunt George Ezra soon…

    • A lot of that is from ‘lad culture’, as is bants and ‘I am liking/loving that’.

      I find Taylor Swift’s music drops my jaw, if only to yawn.

  12. People who finish a statement or sentance with ‘yeah’.
    Yeah what exactly you moron?

    • Especially when used with an upward inflection; ‘so that’s what I did yeah?’

      • Sounds as if they’re asking for your approval.

        ‘So I went to my local, yeah, and i ordrred my usual, right?’

        No, you were watching Bargain Hunt with your mum.

  13. The wife’s just chipped in with a couple while reading over my shoulder.

    ‘Baby’, you know, as in ‘baby baby baby baby oh baby I love you’ (Karen Carpenter in ‘Superstar’, or a million other song lyrics). Does anybody really call anybody else ‘baby’ except in songs or movies? Oops sorry, films.

    The one that really gets on her tits is the passive-aggressive ‘get over it’, as in posters saying ‘some people are trans; get over it’. ‘Fuck off and die’ being the correct response I believe.

  14. War chest!
    Making memories!
    Forever home!
    Leveling up!

    And any daily mail story telling us their opinion on doing anything like moving to a new country or 5 things I learnt from an airline stewardess!

    Utter vacuous empty headed robot cunts! I should get a war chest to take out the Flids!!! Now that would be making memories.

  15. I fucking HATE the term “bae”.

    A snotted nosed bitch I used to work with – a proper Daddy’s Girl, definitely liked egg and cress sandwiches and squealed on the other kids at school, you know the type! – used to refer to her boyfriend as “bae.”

    She’d post all sorts of cack on Facebook about and with him. Selfies, piss-boiling captions like “oooh, dinner with bae” and “I love bae,” so on and so forth. You’re 28, love. Grow up.

    How I laughed when I found out they’d split up. Fucking hated her, I did. And that job.

      • Absolutely, Ron. “Babe” and “Baby” make my shit itch. The landlady of our local calls her husband “baby”. She’s 57. It’s embarassing, to be honest.

        Off topic. Thank you for your kind words about having my ‘roids off. That’s made me feel somewhat better about things.

      • My friends and I use ‘You ok, hun?’ to mean ‘harden the fuck up, you snivelling bastard’…

      • @ Cuntis

        No problem mate. I’m not saying that it’ll be a walk in the park, but treatment techniques for the old farmers haven’t half come on in recent years if my comparison to my mother-in-law’s experience some years back is anything to go by.

        Good luck.

      • @ Nice one, Ron. Much appreciated, pal.

        If you don’t mind me asking, how long was it until you could get back on beer and solid food after the op? Also, what happened with your mother-in-law?

        My dad’s mate had his off about 20 years ago. Proper mincing he was for a good week or so afterwards!

      • @ Cuntis

        Ask away.

        As far as the beer and solid food went, I was back on to them the same day as the op. Soon as I came home in fact, as I fasted beforehand and was starving.

        The mother-in-law’s op was done in the bad old days, when you had stitches after the op, and spent ages in the hospital sitting on ice packs and rubber rings.

        Don’t know if it’s normal surgical practise now, but my wounds were, I believe, sealed using some sort of laser; no stitches, no bleeding, virtually no pain afterwards. I didn’t even need any painkillers. I was advised to take a salt bath two or three times a day, as it has antiseptic properties which help cleanse, and aid the healing process.

        Obviously I can’t presume to say that your experience will match mine in any way, but I’ll repeat this; I’ll be very surprised if your experience is anything like as traumatic as you fear.

      • @ Ron, much appreciated once again, sir!

        I had no idea how they remove the spiteful little bastards. I was envisaging scalpels, having to sit on a rubber ring afterwards.

        During lockdown I tried to remove them myself by putting hot sauce on ’em. I thought the heat would shrink them. It had the reverse effect.

    • Luckily i’m not on social media and I don’t know anyone who uses or would use ‘bae’.

      I would look up the meaning but I can’t be fucked.

      • CP – I no longer have any social media of any type. I found I was spending too much time on it and getting worked up about people and things I neither know nor will ever experience.

        Strangely – and unexpectedly – I feel much, much happier for it and I have much more time to pursue things I lost interest in in favour of scrolling.

        Social media is – indeed – a cunt.

  16. So, its when people use them in the wrong context, or dont understand the phrase. Management prattle is another type of cuntspeak which is all part of my “strategic staircase”.šŸ˜±

    • A lot of what is called LME has our own homegrown gang culture to thank, with some West Indian patois thrown in.

  17. ‘We’ll be right back after the break’;

    ‘Here come the fucking adverts’.

    • ” Another chance to see”…meaning some old shite from years ago because the TV companies don’t have the imagination to make any new and interesting programmes.
      On a slight tangent, the phrase ” contains attitudes and language of the time” usually means it is worth watching.

      • ‘Another chance to see’.

        That’s a cracker Mary. I’d forgotten about that one.

        That ‘snowflake’ warning really pisses me off, but not half as much as when films and tv shows are ‘edited for content’. Once you start down that road, there’s no telling where it will end.

      • It’s been around for a very long time now but the use of the word “cool” to describe something admirable or desirable annoys me. It really means – I have never had an original idea in my life and need the approval of others to an unhealthy degree.
        Others are ” the far -right” ( usually directed at working class people) and ” slammed”, which is always popping up on the news pages, such as some dozy tart from Love Island ” slamming” another one for saying she had a massive arse, or some other such issue of national importance.

      • It’s another annoying Americanism, like ‘dude’.

        It really pisses me off as well when I go somewhere to ‘get’ a coffee and the bloke behind the counter says ‘there you go buddy’.

  18. Another piss-steaming practice that has crept into modern speech is rising intonation at the end of every sentence. This is fine if asking a specific type of question. The practice is annoying and confusing, as it appears the speaker is perpetually asking questions, or doubting themselves. Probably, the latter is true of these flip-flopping millennials.

    Has anyone else heard the now ubiquitous, ā€œcan I get?ā€, when ordering food?
    ā€œNo you fucking canā€™t, now piss offā€, would be my response to this blood-boiling proposition.

  19. Journey as a way of describing experience or actions. I suspect it is reality tv shite.

    • Good one.

      I rank this with those cunts on talent and aspiration shows, who never have an ambition, always a ‘dream’.

  20. A few more…

    ‘Preloved’ ie castoff.

    ”Benefits’ ie handouts.

    ‘Asian’ ie Parking Stanley.

    ‘Vaccine’ ie shit that causes myocarditis, infertility etc etc but “doesn’t stop you getting it and doesn’t stop you passing it on”.

  21. Cockerpoo.
    Labradoodle.
    Ergo.

    Mongrels you middle class twats….!

    A fool and his money….šŸ¤”

  22. I sat in a meeting with my MD a couple of years ago, the customer was a major national Merchant related to the construction industry.

    The person leading the meeting was a category director.

    After about 10 minutes I realised I didnā€™t have a fucking clue what he was talking about and a sort of haze descended in my brain.

    I knew words were coming out of the mouth opposite me but genuinely they didnā€™t make any sense.

    I knew what each word meant individually but strung together in the sentences he was using they made no sense at all.

    Then at some point I was back in the room and everything started to make sense.

    We shared a car back upt north and about 5 mins into the journey my MD said ā€˜Cunty about 10ā€™mins in something weird happened and I couldnā€™t make head nor tail of what he was sayingā€™ and I pissed myself proper pissed myself and heā€™s saying what what wtf you laughing at and then I shared the same.

    It was the biggest pile of corporate cock and cunt Iā€™ve ever heard and it said so much about these businesses, how they are run and how they are constantly having to ā€˜restructureā€™.

    Utter bullshit

    • My favourite bit of corporatese was always when some mouthpiece undertook to ‘take that on board’.

      You knew that the cunt concerned would absolutely ignore whatever it was the second his arse was out the door.

      • I was once in an internal meeting Ron where one of my colleagues proper exposed another.

        Loosely speaking Iā€™m in ā€˜salesā€™ so surrounded by either alpha males or little fat useless cunts that use big words to blag their way through.

        It was cringe but hilarious at the same time.

        Whilst alpha male quite rightly was exposing the bullshit the bullshitter saidā€¦..

        ā€˜Ok ok this is not the time or place we need to take this off lineā€™.

        Letā€™s just say that didnā€™t happen.

    • Sounds like one of those ‘six-figure vocabularies’ i’ve seen advertised by shiny-faced yanks on Youtube.

      Pure cock.

  23. Deliver. Politicos always use this word.
    The cunts couldn’t deliver a fucking newspaper.

    • They’re always ‘investing’ in this that and the other as well.

      More fucking Blairspeak.
