As per the title
This message board is a brilliant source of info and entertainment but every now and then you pick up a phrase that really "grinds your gears"
"Give you head a wobble" - don't know why it pisses me off so much but it's just so annoying (to me)
"Beggars Belief" - is this a Burnley thing - left there when I was 6 so genuinely don't know but God it's shoite!
Any others

"Free hit"
I'd happily drag anyone over rough ground behind a Range Rover who utters that.

"Long my it continue" ...although it's a fair comment, inserted to breed fast among burnley fans because Owen "god" coyle just it in nearly ever interview.....
For that reason it makes me cringe

The OP being a wise man is correct, I don't hear that phrase apart from on this board, never heard it used in another area of the country, likewise wind your neck in.
The OP may hear the phrase "dinnae pish your breeks" where he lives.

Bodge - the best one I ever heard up here was when Luke was playing at U15's and his coach at Annan came out with this classic after they had gone a goal down
" Get yer heid oot yer ass and stop mumpin yer gums!" - It was random and pretty much all the lads on the pitch fell aboot even the opposition team.
Basic translation - Get over it and crack on!

There’s a growing trend of using the present tense to describe a hypothetical scenario, such as - no way Burnley beat Brighton next weekend. Or, Salah walks into our starting eleven. Quite irritating.

Aye there's some good uns up there, my fave was watching a dibble documentary in Dundee when a lashed up tankhead threatened to "blooter" the arresting pc round the cell, the aggressive accent added to my amusement no end.

Not really annoying as such, but a clear sign by the person uttering it that they are in fact a moron.

Country mile is one of the many sayings on here that make perfect sense- a country mile is much longer than an urban mile due to all the bends.

Personally I think telling another forum member to give his/her head a wobble is a nicer way than telling them they are spouting a load of sh1te.

Anyone using the term "shoite" really needs to give their head a wobble.

Don't worry. That was the case a few years back. It's almost gone now. Like watching some old film that hasn't aged too well where the male characters are behaving like totalcocks.
See: John wayne forcing himself on some woman, chat-up lines that ought to make the woman vomit, calling somebody a "dame" (and about 30 other dated terms). Etc. Etc.
I'm sure that there are things that we say and do now that we will be embarrassed about in a few years time.

Methinks thou makest an error (not thou maketh). You would say, methinks he/she/it maketh an error. Thou is the second person singular and the verb is conjugated with an "st" ending, thou doest, thou lovest etc: this is cognate with modern day German "du machst, du liebst" etc.

There’s a certain frequent poster on here has the annoying habit of signing off all his posts with rows of his own custom laughing emoji’s. It’s not clever and it’s NOT funny.

In fact “in my opinion”. We are all intelligent enough to recognise an opinion.

"Can I get..." as in can I get a coffee.
Don't know if its an Americanism, but what's wrong with
"Could I have..."?
