newsted Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Use of the word 'cute'. This does my head in. Also when people refer to teams as a plural. As in "Your Newcastles and your Evertons". And when they do it with people and feel they have to specify which planet they live on, to avoid any further confusion, obviously, having already involved everyone with that name. "The Messis and Ronaldos of this world" - fuck right off you stupid bastards. Might as well say "the Smiths and Johns of Mars" linguistically. Lazy uneducated tools.

Does to me. Pluralising players' names unnecessarily annoys me. Commentators and pundits will refer to Messi in the plural when they only mean one of them, and that's his family name, like Smith. Ronaldo's a given name, like John, Mars is a world, like this one, and there's a certain resonance in the Smiths-John-Mars combo that appealed. It's not rocket science You'll probably say they meant players like that, but that's my point, if that's what they meant they should say it ffs! I will not accept such sloppiness!

gbandit Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Someone said this the other day but I can't stand football compilations on certain websites which show the same goal or trick 4 times or more, sped up and slowed down from every angle. Just show it twice max and put some decent music on in the background. I've not once seen a compilation with decent music Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
