people who use "air quotes" while talking.

I know it's not a phrase or cliche, but it's still something i'm sick of seeing

Age: Approaching 40 but from the wrong side.
Team: Norwood but I have a soft spot for the Cocks.
Fav Moment: 1978 GF aftermath. You had to be there :wink:

About me: Obviously I'm not your typical stand-in-the-outer supporter. I work in musical theatre and travel extensively and don't get to many games but still love following the local action. I've been viewing the banter on footysa for over a year now and thought I'd give this place a go as it looks a bit more appealing and doesnt seem as confrontational as some of the forum stuff on the other site. Having said that I do enjoy reading the arguments lol.
I'm looking forward to getting involved and chatting with you all...remember, it takes all types

Yes tiger boss that's me. Seeing as my pic is plastered all over the place regardless I thought that it wouldn't really matter here. Also I don't go out in public like that either lol As for sending you pics baby are you sure? I am the chick with a bit extra or is this a side of some of the boys here I'd never picked up before? :wink:

and,no, that's not a phrase. It was completely my error posting it in the wrong column. God knows where this one will end up! Forgive me I am new xx

"Cheers" isn't Aussie, is it? I think it's a pommy thing that's slipped into the vocabulary of many blokes under 30. The fair dinkum, piss sinkin' Aussie equivalent would be "Thanks mate".

i just thought it was. I guess i associate it with the saying "Cheers Mate" which is aussie. Even if it is pommy, i still don't think there is anything wrong with it.

You are not saying that you are too much for us there are you Miss Nancy? I'm sure T.B wouldn't be too offended by anything you could do to him anyway.
Welcome aboard.

I used to like 'Cheers' but it has got out of hand now. It's an expression picked up by anyone who's holidayed in the UK I reakon. Now everyone from the checkout chick at Coles to petrol station attendants use it and it drives me nuts. Especially with the double whammy of "Cheers guys" when you're dining with your missus at a restaurant. :evil:

The_Bay_Boy · Post by **The_Bay_Boy** » Sat Nov 19, 2005 1:17 pm

or there's the "Cheers Bro" or "Cheers Bros".... now unless you are of some ethnic background, i don't believe aussie's should be calling each other "bro"..... it's "mate" in this country.

the cliches that piss me off the most are the management cliches......

"lets not reinvent the wheel"

"think outside the square"

etc....
