First topic message reminder :
Why on earth does this make me want to poke myself in my eyes with a blunt kebab skewer?
Any other illogical pet hates out there, either linguistic or otherwise?

Also, and it's a bit of a Welshsim, but people refering to a pair of scissors in the singular. "I need to get a scissors"
Winds me up in a totally irrational way that ones does... maybe it's only first language Welsh people that say it due to siswrn being signular in Welsh...

I've never heard anyone say that but if I did I would not be held responsible for my actions.

To be fair, I've never heard any Cardiffians say it. But then Cardiffians aren't really Welsh anyway. :tinhatsmiley: :runawaysmiley: :bryanadamssmiley:

Yes, that’s a bugbear.
e.g. if I was to say my missus’ gash was literally like a mouse’s ear, that would be incorrect because it’s more like a hippo’s yawn.
