Never use long words just impress people. On almost all occasions a diminutive one will suffice just as adequately.

Quite - and along the same lines, anything that begins "with all due respect" is generally followed by something that confirms there is no respect for the opinion of the person being spoken to.

I wonder if anyone has noticed how difficult it is to say a football team's name, compared to their city. One in particular - everyone can easily say "Manchester", but very few can manage to say "Manchester United" - it tends to be a rushed "Manchernited" or similar.

I work with young people and they have a language all of their own!
"Diz ma box/heid in" (they are annoyed about something)
"Get aff ma case" (stop bothering me)
"Ya trumpet" (you are an idiot)
"Oot the game" (passed out/drunk)
"Oot their face" (have taken drugs)
"Get some Swally" (obtain some alcohol)
"Whur's the troopz" (I'm looking for my friends)
"Heavy gaun' man" (that was tougher than I thought)
And them I'm expected to compile a word perfect assessment report!!!!!
It certainly "does my box in!"
