...it's sucky to be honest and sounds like it has been ripped from an American soap!

But I digress...

Can't say i've noticed it to be honest.
People trying to sound posh maybe?

I'm guessing it's from Frasier.

Hey, don't pour scorn on The Fraige.

Can't say I've noticed it but trends & fads come and go. If this one is coming in, it'll be going at some stage.

Yeah, I don't know where people get it from. I used to like climbing trees. In fact I have many warm memories of spending summers building tree houses. The warm summer breeze felt cooling as we sprinted from the Gotchie on the local building site with our 'supplies'.

This one time he called the Garda on us. They came down, running across the field sprinting towards us. Little did they know fom our newly built perch we could see them coming a mile off.

We scattered in many directions with the twilight grass whipping off our bare legs leavin the cool summer dew on our green 'Air Max'. We ran down past Hammil's gaf in the middle of nowhere grazing our legs on the brambles between the fences laughing as we ran.

Later we all met back up and recounted our escape to eachother and giggled like the happy kids we were. I realized it was time for me to check in and had to make that run to my parents house to keep from being grounded.

I used to run a lot back then. Running carefree simply because it was fun. Now, since I've gotten older I have tried to relive that childhood happiness by running. But to no avail. I feel old. I feel fat...and I feel run down.

WTF????

Can't say I've noticed it OP

But I do hate

the ironing is delicious

It doesn't make sense on so many levels.
If you see an ironic statement or a flawed statement just point it out and stop trying to clever. As it certainly isn't original

The funniest part of that phrase is that it normally isn't used right.

He is usually rather succinct. Makes you a little suspicious....

I don't think it'll catch on the way words like 'Random' or 'Epic' have done.

~"Dude, I drank a sh*tload of random beers last night and this morning I took the most epic dump ever"

What word would you put there instead of "random" or "epic".

I see nothing wrong with using words in the right way?

Cool story bro.

Hmm, this reminds me of the time I took up time as a hair dyer. I'd set up a business back in the day in Macer street, back when it was Macer street, dunno what it's called now. Anyway, this greying rich old guy John Gress comes into the store and asked his hair dyed blonde. Natually I obliged, and thought no more of it. Next day his assistant Dorenton comes back and asks "Would you work exclusively for Mr. Gress?" "Would I?" said me, I mean I'd have six dyemen's full wages for a half hour's work a week. so I did. I did it for a few months, then a group of old guys, Martin Ambleton, William Foxe, Arthur MacElton and a host of others all came to the shop begging me to work in their salons around the world.

But I Dye Gress.......
