Idon't think you can say this even in jest.

Basically "literally" as well.

I can only assume that they do it because they think it somehow reinforces their authority.

Mine too. Only the sentence usually starts with a slow motion 'Wellllllll, basically...'

Stadium concert wankers who sit on other peoples shoulders and act like idiots to the likes of Take That. They shouldn't annoy me because it's their money spent to clap in unison. But they do. The manifestation of middle england bland-minded ****wits who just follow the crowd.

Coming on here and seeing Speroni getting slaughtered after every game.We are starting to get the big club syndrome.

People who say 'Wine o'clock' or Beer o'clock'

What is this new one 'hahahaha' after every text conversation with a teenager too? As in texting my daughter 'how are you' and getting a reply 'fine hahahaha'. No idea what that is about.

It's REALLY getting on my tits :veryangry

Shockingly, use of the word 'literally' in this way is now legit ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23729570

Suzie Dent is literally a dirt slut bucket.

Potholes .

Arseholes.
