Give your head a wobble (and other shoite phrases)

[Guller Bull]

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

[tarkys_ears]

"Free hit"

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

[alboclaret]

"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

[bodge]

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.

[conyoviejo]

"My bad" ..
"Could of"

[HahaYeah]

This thread is 'bang average'

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

"top top player" facepalm

[Bosscat]

"My bad" ..
"Could of"

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!

[boatshed bill]

"headscratching"...
what the FFFF

Not you bsb ... I had put a name but thankfully edited it before the time limit

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.

[what_no_pies]

Sh1t or bust - Used to suggest its do or die, but both Sh1t and bust are both negative outcomes.

[evensteadiereddie]

Hence why....

No worries Boss, I know how daft I can be

[Guller Bull]

That's a belter. "Hence why...."

Who uses shoite like this?

[uptheclarets86]

“It is, what it is”

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.

One of very own Ground Safety Officers in his recent reply to my email to the Club regarding the overcrowding in the CFS concourse...............

[Guller Bull]

“It is, what it is”

Probably been guilty of this one describing business in the present time but noted and it's shoite so will stop usage "henceforth"

[JohnMac]

"top top player" facepalm

Actually heard 'Top, Top,Top Player this weekend!

'Beggars belief' is not a Burnley thing, I guarantee you.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Who said that?

Jamie Redknapp knows no other way to describe a player he likes!

[Ric_C]

"Exciting times"

[depechedingle]

No disrespect but...........

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

At the end of the day...........spoken by complete *****

I have forgotten but think it was a current player. I have Covid fog so generally only remember certain parts of things

[KellyClaret]

'methinks'

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

[boatshed bill]

Methinks thou maketh an error with that one,

[Fretters]

'Sick' is now a good thing, apparently. I'll never understand that.

[Bin Ont Turf]

On here...... 'country mile'

[dougcollins]

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.

[RingoMcCartney]

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

[Bosscat]

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

[Gunfury]

“I,for one” and “turgid” are annoyingly overused on here as well as the “give your heads a wobble” nonsense

[timshorts]

'Sick' is now a good thing, apparently. I'll never understand that.

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.

[Vino blanco]

Methinks thou maketh an error with that one,

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.

[Bullabill]

Early doors. From the get-go.

[dougcollins]

From the get-go.

Nobody likes Americanisms.

[chekhov]

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.

[chekhov]

The overused word “odious” when used to describe anyone they don’t like for whatever reason.

[aclaretinstevenage]

'Beggars belief' is not a Burnley thing, I guarantee you.

Beggars Belief is very common in London and the South East.

[bfcjg]

At the end of the day.

[Tricky Trevor]

“In my honest opinion”. If it’s not honest why bother?

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

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

My bad... an unforgivable 'trendy' Americanism

What's wrong with:
My mistake
My fault
My error

???

'bad' is NOT a noun

Plenty of examples of this currently on the Khan v Brook thread.

[ElectroClaret]

"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..."?
