I'm making up a lot of phrases that should be banned from After Hours right here:

Sh*t my pants and call me Betsy!

My cat said to say hi.

Flatulent Larry! Flatulent Larry! Flatulent Larry told me to do it!

We call that being Shortalled!

Pull the other one OP, and do it hard and fast, now slow, now slower, now fast again. That's it.

Bless him/her with prayer.

Get the **** rid of it please. People clearly have no sense of when enough is enough. This should probably be in feedback or some such.

Thinly-veiled Grammar Nazi post: you forgot the hyphen in "thinly-veiled".

(What?)

"How in God's Hairy Hole" should definitely be permabanned.

If you pay them a small sum they'll probably do that, but I can't remember what that small sum is, I know it's more than three and less than four.

It's a blend of "infraction" and "infarction" i.e. what you get if someone reads your post and has a heart attack.
