    As mean as ditch water, what’s mean about ditch water?

    The original expression was "dull as ditch water", meaning someone or something which bored you to tears, ditch water is indeed usually dull.
    I don't know where the variant comes from.

    Does this work?

    Context needed, I was on holidays in Prague, an American tried to by a pretzel of a street vender with US Dollars. He went back to his buddies and was amazed she wouldn't accept his foreign money. Went to an ATM and went back over to her with his "does this work" spiel. Yea it does you clown, it's legal tender in the country! Ass!

    First they came for the socialists...

    Not expressions but shortened words like 'fab' and 'hun' and pricks who write 'hon (insert sports team here)'
    Also comments under a Facebook pic of some woman where her friends write 'stunning'. No she's not. It's an awful picture and you know it!

    "Let me be very clear" - can we just take it for granted now that politicians are being/have been very clear so we can skip that useless phrase.

    Partner. Just say girlfriend or whatever. I remember starting a new management job a few years back. This woman introduces herself as my new bosses partner. I assume business partner and start rattling off my plans for the place. She's nodding away politely and I find out later she meant girlfriend.

    "I'd drink him under the table".

    So you've built up a tolerance to alcohol and it takes more of it to give you a high. That's a great achievement alright. Apart from that, drinking someone under the table sounds like you're going to get down on your knees and perform fellatio.

    That's perfectly acceptable if you are discussing a number's base, and whether it is binary, octal, hex etc.
