Have you noticed how, when people are describing something as ‘free’, they prefix it with the word ‘absolutely’. Of course it’s ‘absolutely’ free. What other ‘free’ is there? Partly free? Semi- free? Free with some strings attached that you won’t notice unless you can be arsed to read the small print? I suspect so.
Let’s have free described as free and stop trying to tart it up! Absolutley is rapidly becoming my No.1 pet hate word (see my previous post).
Further to my post, two articles down, I found a brilliant idea some chap has come up with called ‘wankword bingo’. To play, just print off the wankword card from here. Then simply tick off wank words as you hear them and as soon as you have five in a line, vertically, horizontally or diagonally, shout BINGO!
This card’s specifically designed for corporate meetings, but you could change the wank words or phrases to suit the occasion, for example a train journey, a night down the pub, or even a CAMRA committee meeting 🙂 Hours of fun for free!
I’m going to see if I can come up with a wankword-a-day for the next week. I’ll post them here as soon as I hear them.
Oh, and while I’m on about my previous post, I counted 37 ‘absolutely’s’ on the TV and radio on Thursday without even trying. How sad is that?
