Shit that annoys you

You guys are wankers, then. Sorry: you lot.

Miserable cunts.

Can't stand kitted.

I almost can't stand it. When is is used to mean outfit, its lame. When it is used to mean outfit plus equipment it served a purpose.

You mean tossers?

Riser's not actually citing an example of British slang here, it's just what he thinks of us.

My tax refund from last year is still listed as "under review." The IRS provides very little contact info (I'm not surprised). Does anyone have any idea wtf I should do?

I had to amend my return from last year, I did so in June and sent them a $12 check. They have not processed my return nor deposited the check. I called some number I found and finally spoke with someone, they assured me they had the return and it was in the queue and there was nothing else I could do.

If you are waiting on a refund, that's one thing. But if not, I would not worry.

Replacing a older toilet in an upstairs bathroom......open up new toilet from Lowe’s...and the new one is broken in the box....now have to carry back downstairs and take it back to Lowe’s. Good times.

Oh that sucks. Lowe's had screwed me over on that one too. Now I check the contents before loading one up. Won't make THAT mistake twice. Haha. I feel your pain, man.

Bollocks.

Bollocks.

We'll allow it, since you're Australian.

[Ted Striker]

Bollocks.

Never mind them

We watch a lot of Top Gear and Grand Tour. We had to have a discussion with the 11 y.o. that "Cocking about" and "Oh, cock!" are phrases that must not be uttered outside the house.

Dodgy.

The wife and I have been watching the sitcom "Gavin & Stacey" and I will admit a soft spot for some Welsh slang. "Tidy," for example. It's sort of like "cool."
For example
- Did you get your vaccine yet?
- Yes
- Tidy!

Now THAT's got legs.

I usually sign off with Cheers.
It’s 1000x better than alternatives; Yours, Yours Truly, Sincerely, Love, etc.

The IRS is way way behind--pandemic, lack of staffing, having to issue multiple stimulus checks. That's why they delayed filing until May. All you can do is wait. And if you're expecting a refund check by US Mail--you're doubly fucked.

I'm using British slang by using "Cheers"? Now I'm chuffed.

here's the Sex Pistols, ya maggots!

I've got kids in soccer, and I still play, and there's a bunch of people from Great Britain involved, so there's way too much of this language floating around daily life. It's not a fucking pitch, it's a field.

But I do like sorted. So get your shit sorted and shut the fuck up.

I watch this guy on youtube, very good simple cook, but he uses the term "moreish" a bit more than I'd like.

"Freedom" doesn't have an "s" at the end. (I'll cut FDR some slack, but just once).
"Pants" does.
"Sports" does.

(People who talk about their freedoms don't understand what freedom is because they've always had it and take it for granted.)

[TurxSki]

I like, and use, the Scottish "are you fit?" or "are you fit, like?" for "are you ready?"
Also, they call groceries, or shopping "messages"...
"I'm away to the store to pick up my messages"

While it’s an easy one to misuse, it isn’t true that it’s incorrect to refer to multiple instances of specific freedoms as ... freedoms. You can indeed count off different types and examples and use the s to indicate a plural.

Overly rigid, prescriptive, and ultimately incorrect grammar “rules” annoy me.
