    What is with the almost constant use of the following phrase:

    'And he turned around to me and said.....' or variations of this and where did it come from? Seems to be the only phrase used on late night talk radio

    How many people are starting conversations with their backs to people??

    Well personally speaking I always creep up behind people to start conversations so they always turn around.

    It's an idiom meaning the individual said something very deliberately. It's not intended to be taken literally.

    Thanks for clarifying that for me. I'm sure the vast majority of people who use this would listen intently to your explanation, smile, nod to themselves and then slap you for calling them an idiot..

    I'm sorry if I caused offence? We're you not asking or do you just not like the phraseology?

    I think it's my uncle Larry, he's always happy, but I reckon it's because he's always drunk.

    That reminds me of that just a minute quiz that used to be on 2fm and Larry Gogan asked a question "Complete this phrase...As happy as ???"

    Then he gave a hint "Think of me"

    And the woman says "A pig in sh1t"

    My husband is a Londoner and thinks all Irish are telepathic because we always know who someone is referring to when we say 'your man' or 'your woman' even if it could be applicable to twenty different people :)
