Phileas Fogg Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 15 minutes ago, Red Army Faction said: I'm not sure everyone does though. Some people do get extremely agitated when other express their opinion and they disagree with it. IMO/IMHO can diffuse that and head it off IMHO. Most of the others I agree with. Yep, 'IMO' changes a statement that is FACT to an opinion which the poster is acknowledging could be incorrect. My gripe is with 'IMHO' - your HONEST opinion? That's too much for me, the 'honest' but is so unnecessary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Its probably been mentioned before but can we ban "have they scored yet?" on every single match thread? Does my head in and it was never funny in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for calling other teams by semi-humorous, vaguely pejorative nicknames. I think all sets of fans do this and have done since Old Carthusians thought up an offensive nickname for Royal Engineers.

Time to bin it. Has anyone mentioned 'Horace the hedgehog' yet? * Cod Lot ........ not an in joke, just another local 'Bristolianism' a once widely used phrase that is slipping slowly into disuse - in favour of the more common Universal term 'fish & chips' (The Bristolian 'cod lot' is rapidly disappearing as the influx of 'outsiders' from London and elsewhere increases) Was once as common in Bristol as 'pie 'n mash shop/jellied eels' used to be in London.
