    This is a noise, not a baby name.

    It's also the Maori word for food... So I imagine someone on the bottom rung if life getting desperate and roasting up their youngest on a hog spit for dinner. Wayne Rooney dancing around a fire, cannibal style comes to mind.

    The words "claptrap" and "tripe."

    Almost exclusively used by Irish male middle-aged-and-older know-it-alls.

    *shudder*

    When someone puts the same spoon they used to stir the tea into the sugar bowl.
    I just want to fire all the sugar from the bowl into their cup because they have just ruined the perfect white of the sugar with a dirty sticky brown bit. Gob****e.

    Also, the fact that this thread is like a tome yet there seems to be no 'Trivial things that make your day' thread

    hahahaahahah :) I guessed there had to be on even though my preliminary search offered no fruit :P

    In light of recent developments, I'm annoyed this thread is more successful than the one above

    I hate some words too.

    "Ooze", "gunk" and "chunks".

    Disgusting.

    This!!

    This saying annoys me, my friend uses it, what is it even supposed to mean! "don't know they're born!" clearly they are aware of the fact, ridiculous saying, up there with the likes of "you can't have your cake and eat it" well eh... what the fuck else are you supposed to with the poxy cake if you can't eat it!

    Having your cake and eating it too really means once you eat it, it's gone. Therefore, you don't have it anymore. So you can have it there with the knowledge there's delicious delicious cake to come... but if you eat it, you won't have that promise anymore. That's how I interpret it anyway.

    It means they don't know how lucky they are.

    There's no connection between the intended meaning and the actual words, though.

    Yeah I heard this interpretation recently, and finally it makes sense. If you have it, then you've not eaten it. If you eat it, you don't have it. The two scenarios can't co-exists. So, you can't have your cake AND eat it.

    I think the emphasis needs to be placed on the "and" in order for it to work. Most of us interpret the "and" as meaning "and then."

    i.e. "you can't have your cake and then eat it." <
    makes no sense

    but "you can't have your cake AND eat it" <
    FINALLY makes sense.

    Aren't the whole point of proverbs like that that they're simple to understand? :confused:

    Even when you understand it it sounds stupid :pac:

    I never heard of the born one - 'Something something know you're born'

    Someone please explain.

    I was too lazy to read back through the thread to find the saying. I'm having a lazy Sunday, can't be exerting myself too much, you know yourself.

    Only if you come and make breakfast for me. I'm too lazy (and trivially annoyed) to bother.

    When people are mad as **** with you but won't tell you why. My housemate, the one I'd get on best with (and the one who felt me up a few weeks ago) is being so weird with me. He won't talk to me anymore, he walks in and ignores me. He's just being so weird. Today I cornered him and asked him what's wrong did I make him mad, he was just like "no darlin' just watching the telly" but he couldn't get out of the room fast enough. So weird!


    JUST TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG LETS SORT IT AND MOVE ON

    I am trivially annoyed by people who constantly create drama, and then say "Oh god why is my life so hard?"

    It's because you're a dingus, that's why!!

    Also I opened the squeezy honey and it squeezed itself all over my sleeve.

    I think we can safely put that cake proverb down as one of the dumbest in history - not because it doesn't make sense but because it's ridiculously complicated. I'd say the only reason it's still around is because of the confusion surrounding it.

    You get on best with the one who felt you up, and you think he's weird?

    OK so. I can see how that can be awkward alright.

    Also passive aggressive people who get way too fixated with people online that they're never going to meet. Kinda weird tbh!
