oh yeah and fuck 'man cave' while we're at it, though I'm certain it's already been listed
― Andy the Grasshopper, Monday, November 1, 2021 1:16 PM (three days ago)
I think mancave (one word) is useful as a pejorative.

taking sides: man cave vs she shed
― gin and catatonic (Ye Mad Puffin), Thursday, 4 November 2021 16:45 (two years ago) link
She shed is so much worse.
― papal hotwife (milo z), Thursday, 4 November 2021 16:49 (two years ago) link
See sheds by the sea shore

xp that's what she shed
― sarahell, Thursday, 4 November 2021 17:07 (two years ago) link
she shed!!!! so bad it's good
― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Thursday, 4 November 2021 17:16 (two years ago) link
Mancave only good as a pejorative, agree

Her Hut
― Andy the Grasshopper, Friday, 5 November 2021 00:11 (two years ago) link
"her hut" sounds like someone clearing phlegm in their throat

xps there's a barber's in the shopping area of town which advertises itself as a "men's creche" and every time i walk past it i have to check i'm not in fact dreaming

That's saying the quiet part of the infantilisation of men a bit loud.

"Saying the quiet part loud"
it’s okay but yes

perhaps english specific gripes: i get unnerved over 'dock/docked' when referring to wages, and 'taking on' when enquiring if medical surgeries are accepting new patients in their registry...
'are you taking on any new NHS patients?' why not use 'accepting'? nobody seems to the phrase 'taking on' any other time...?!
these little usages are so strange to me and seem to stick out - i dunno why... is there a term for words that are only used in conjunction with specific activities like that...?
― maelin, Friday, 12 November 2021 13:47 (two years ago) link
"Take On Me" is about trying to book a physical iirc

lmao, fuck's sake.

A slogan rather than a commonly-used phrase, butSee itSay itSortedis beginning to fill me with uncontrollable rage.

'taking on' sort of implies 'taking passengers on board' kind of thing imo. I don't mind it. "Taking on new staff" is another usage.
― kinder, Friday, 12 November 2021 16:52 (two years ago) link
pretty common in the US - "taking on a new project"
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 12 November 2021 16:54 (two years ago) link
Yeah, I think it’s common in other contexts in the UK too. “I’m not taking on any more work at the moment” a freelancer might say.
― Alba, Friday, 12 November 2021 16:59 (two years ago) link
Might be nice to expand it usage though. “I’m sorry - I’m not taking on any more sexual partners at this time”.
― Alba, Friday, 12 November 2021 17:00 (two years ago) link
"I'm not taking on any more accusations of sexual assault, sorry"

Irrationally angry when i hear our provincial health minister, a Brit, say "at the weekend". No one here knows what the hell you are saying.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 12 November 2021 17:51 (two years ago) link
'On the weekend' has the same effect on me.

can't relate to joy, huh
― Lavator Shemmelpennick, Friday, 12 November 2021 17:57 (two years ago) link
i mean it's usually talk of covid cases "at the weekend" so uh...well my mind first goes to a nonexistant nightclub called "the weekend", that brings a little joy to it.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 12 November 2021 17:59 (two years ago) link
is "over the weekend" us only
― Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Friday, 12 November 2021 18:03 (two years ago) link
No.
― Eats like Elvis, shits like De Niro (Tom D.), Friday, 12 November 2021 18:07 (two years ago) link
"out on the weekend" is the only acceptable way to say this
― Muad'Doob (Moodles), Friday, 12 November 2021 18:11 (two years ago) link
Not here it isn't.
― Eats like Elvis, shits like De Niro (Tom D.), Friday, 12 November 2021 18:13 (two years ago) link
I actually remember when I first heard the Neil Young song, "Out on the Weekend", thinking it was an odd title!
― Eats like Elvis, shits like De Niro (Tom D.), Friday, 12 November 2021 18:15 (two years ago) link
"the weekend" is correct imo
― fix up luke shawp (darraghmac), Friday, 12 November 2021 18:32 (two years ago) link
if Uncle Neil says it's right, we all must obey

i get unnerved over 'dock/docked' when referring to wages
how about when referring to the tails or ears of domesticated animals?
