phrase

  1. Medway Blue

    Just got back.....

    .....to Ipswich. No-one bar Wiggy seems to have commented on the performance, so I'll leave it be, despite having enough to say about it to write an essay. All I'll say is that the performance on field was gutless and quite frankly disgusting. Why did our big players of the season hide? One...

    Thursday Pub Quiz Pt 5 (Bit late today!)

    Usual rules, usual person banned. Enjoy :) 1. Which Japanese word translates into English as "empty orchestra"? 2. Which phrase was first used in a novel by William Burroughs in 1962 and is now commonly used to describe a type of music? 3. Who first coined the words "madcap", "hobnob" and...

    Slipperduke's Mission To Millwall

    With a few edits, this is what the good people of Singapore will be waking up to tomorrow. MtS had a very lucky escape in being cut out of the final edit. 500,000 people could have found out exactly what his idea of a pre-match meal is... As a mere, and very occasional, foot soldier of the...

    "Camel Toe" - yuck

    Im not sure if any of you are familiar with this phrase....if not then please let me explain. It is when a female is wearing trousers so tight that you can see the "contours" of her front lady bits. I think this is absolutely disgusting and having just been out for lunch and seeing such a...

    Your most hated phrase, saying or expression

    Mine is: Bobbies on the beat AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Also, I cannot bear Irish American.:guns: :guns: :guns: :flamer:
  6. southend slang

    Met a guy up here (Teesside) yesterday who is originally from Southchurch area of Southend - he kept using the phrase 'whopper' to refer to someone who tells lies rather than a lie itself. I've never come across this before - wondered if this was a new expression developed in Southend area...

    Worth a punt?

    For the love of God, can this phrase be banned from Shrimperzone until the transfer window closes?! :eek: :eek:
  8. Well I never knew That.

    In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb '. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered...
  9. Mr Wooly

    Fake boobs

    Now that's got everyone's attention .. :finger: .. I need to consult the views of the SZ community on this delicate issue. As like many people on here who, like me, work in an office environment, amongst all the daily chores of actually doing some work, mind-numbing meetings and the endless...

    Match of the Day

    While watching the Man U/W Ham and Sheff U/Wigan games, I was really annoyed at how many times the commentators used the phrase "that goal could be worth £60million" or that save "is worth £60million". It really brought home to me how shallow and messed up top flight football in this country...

    Teach yourself Hungarian - Lesson 1

    Here's a choice phrase to learn before Saturday ... KHOORVA ANYAT Don't worry about the translation - it wouldn't pass the filter anyway ! Just learn it and practice it so that you can shout it out everytime that Hungarian Mothersucker goes anywhere near the ball . I promise you...
  12. Shrimpergonzo

    Slightly worrying...

    The Southend BC website has the following (posted on 29th March) http://www.southend.gov.uk/content.asp?section=193&content=7028 I find the following phrase slightly worrying: Seems to suggest that the decision is going to take longer - shame nobody has drawn this to our attention before.
  13. Southend Engimas....

    The post on here about the most hated players got me thinking.... There are a few players who were, to coin the footballing phrase, highly rated but never quite made it.... To name a few in recent times Gary Hooper - will we see the best from him Michael Husbands Barrington Belgrave...
  14. Slipperduke

    How excited are you?

    So, we've just beaten Ipswich at Portman Road to put ourselves in with a shout of surviving. We're about to play Burnley, a team planted firmly at the bottom of the form table. A win here and we could be out of the relegation zone for the first time since I was in short trousers, or so it...

    Whats happened to ShrimperZone?

    Before anyone says it, this is not a response to the thread about Stoke today, where SBH has had a bit of a personal pop at me. :rolleyes::cry: Has anyone else noticed that in the last few months, the feeling on SZ has changed? The board used to be full of genuinely interesting debate, from...

    Cheer up you miserable sods!

    This whole board is so depressing at the moment, "Tilly out", "brush and tilson are clueless", "this player's cack, I'd play this team" etc etc etc. So much bitching and whining, it may as well be the school playground!! Cast your minds back three...

    GET IN!

    1-0 at HT as I'm sure you all know Been a great game, we've been superb IMO and I wonder how many times the following phrase has been muttered around Roots Hall tonight... "Why cant we play like this every week" We have looked comfortable at the back in the circumstances...
  18. Club please read

    How many times are we having to put up with the Q's at the west bank bar. We have quite a few middle managers at the club, that should be sorting this out... how much money is the club losing. If I was in charge I would either employ more bar staff, fill up more drinks before the rush, or...

    Newspaper phrases...

    Let me open the bidding with this gem from Metro, the phrase appearing in the second part of the story.  Extraordinary! In other horse sex news...

    In the words of Alanis Morrisette

    That Col Ewe have now scored something like 4 goals in their last 15 games. Yet "that great judge of a player" Parkinson loans out Gareth Williams to Blackpool and he nets for the third time in four games for The Tangerines today, against us. But, hey, who cares? Great comedy to...
