Shut them down with an 'ok boomer'.

pomenitul, Tuesday, 10 December 2019 17:39 (four years ago) link

speaking as a boomer this seems an entirely appropriate use tbf -- all the more so if it works

The Rise of Skywalker has weaponized fan service as a way to bring order to the concluding chapter of the trilogy and that’s ok and here’s why

omar little, Wednesday, 18 December 2019 16:27 (four years ago) link

omg, I just received an email which said
"feedback us!"

kinder, Thursday, 19 December 2019 13:29 (four years ago) link

"Yer" as in yes, not your. Is yeah not informal enough for you? Do you even pronounce it like yurr?

But "the one who smelt it..." is a classic.

and yet most of them omit the apostrophe xp

times 牛肉麵 (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 1 January 2020 11:00 (four years ago) link

How can you hear the omission? Is it in their eyes?

Alba, Wednesday, 1 January 2020 11:12 (four years ago) link

maybe 2020 will be the year the (correctly) hated apostrophe is omitted everywhere else also: let freedom reign (rain)!

TS: Happy New Years vs Daylight Savings

kinder, Wednesday, 1 January 2020 13:14 (four years ago) link

Apologies in advance and, in way of explanation, I'm Scottish. It's that time of the year where I get annoyed at people saying Happy New Year before it's January 1st and, this will never stop being intensely annoying, pronouncing Auld Lang Syne as Auld Lang Zyne.
