I can't stand it when something is referred to as a "soundscape." (Reminds me of when people say a film is "like a painting.") Does this just mean, little melody evident? Many overdubs? What?

I do hate "clubbing experience", it's always used for those massive trance arena (barn) dances that are on in Dublin like Gods Kitchen 2003 or whatever.

Also, I'm amazed no-one has mentioned "n'est pas?" to this list. Ick.I think they need to add "Grabastic" to their vocabulary. For a week. No more than a week. After that, I wouldn't be "cute" anymore.

I love when people use this phrase when it's something that you don't do.. like:"I pulled a lamb shank out from underneath my thumbnail - as you do."-or-I got pregnant and went to an Iggy Pop concert - as you do."

Just out of curiousity, what exactly is a craw, and what would you need to drive it up there?A craw is a weird vegetable that Victorians used to boil mercilessly. What was odd about this -- now extinct -- vegetable is that it was part of the life cycle of a form of crayfish. This is why a crayfish that has given 'birth' to a craw is called a Crawdad.As for how something can get 'stuck in yer craw', this has something to do with a perverse party game practiced my members of the Naughty Hellfire Club back when there still were craws to use in this twisted game. Lets just say it involved sticking things into a craw...and leave it at that.

I suppose that nineteen years ago this person not understand that “yea” in this context does not mean “this/that” but approximate? Perhaps enlightenment has come and their irritation has subsided.
