HOW ANNOYING IS THAT?
Awesome – really? – how can you tell?
I’m good – maybe - but I asked if you’re well!
This moment in time – surely ‘now’ will suffice.
Same old, same old –same old what and why twice?
Talk me through it – through where?
I was sat – so tell who sat you there?
He’s 6 foot tall – no not at all - he’s 6 feet tall from his toes to his hair..
Oh My God – so which one – there’s 3000 out there.
Listen up – up where? Is it out of view?
Know what I mean? – yes I do – do you?
Any time soon – so you really mean ‘soon’ I’m proposing
I’m going to go – coming to come, coming to go or are you just going.
Take in a film – take it in where?
It is what it is – well it ain’t something else I declare.

- Comment from author about the poem: Posted to prove I'm still alive and to have a rant of my own. All these phrases, idioms, expressions whatever, really do get under my skin to quote another one.

Some expressions are annoying .
I liked reading this 🙂
Thanks yellowrose - I'm afraid I'm a bit of a pedant but it's probably a losing battle.
Good write and painting M.
Miss Berles still alive?
'Do you know who I am? - No, so you can't be anyone of any importance'.
I know you S - Miss B is alive and well and breeding syllables for the new season - they will be available soon.
Double thumbs up from me, Michael.
You do that...let it out... it's all good! 🙂
Yus mate, I feel better for that. Take care of those thumbs.
Yus, and 'blow me' if i 'don't not' agree with you '110%' which is just what my neighbour 'turned around and said to me'.
Annoying aren't they.
One of my Dad's phrases was 'Blow Me'. Different connotations these days or so I'm told - I wouldn't know.
Yup - so very annoying.
Loud applause for wording some of my pet rants against the abuse and misuse of our beautiful language - good to see you back again Mike and as for that artwork well ---
- - -- another great Wow.
Bless you Fay - I rant all the time. Just watched Garden Rescue and counted seven incorrect uses of the word 'sat' - I'm becoming obsessed I'm afraid.
I’m sorry, for what? I wasn’t the cause, but your words did make me think - how odd.
So I wanted to answer. So I thought of some words. So I put them down, you know, put them out to you. So now I have answered. So its alright now, in this moment in time.
So Andy
So spot on Andy.
I am glad to know you are good. I am well too. I love and enjoy your rant. Really.
must have missed this when you first posted
I remember the great series you had last year about idioms,
might go back and read a few
to create some space
in my own tolerance tank
and yeah, I mean that: 'LITERALLY'... lol
thanks for the fun read Mike
glad all is well
