Verbal Faux Pas, Jargon, Cliches, Boganisms, etc

Might have been Kelli Underwood.

Yeah Kelli needs to drop the BS cliches, she is drowning in them. REALLY painful!!

I can't remember the player in question but Leigh Montagna described a player as the most classiest user of the footy. Most classy or classiest sounds better.

On his "The Carlton Show" podcast last week, Andy Maher talked jokingly about someone having produced his "magnus opus".

Scott Cummings said man buns are a "scouge on society"

Hutchy pronounces "ecosystem" as "echo-system". Shits me. Is that another one of his Yankisms?

This one is such a doozy -- particularly because it's by a newsreader -- that I had to record it. She pronounces "ombudsman" as "ohbundersman"
Farking hell! Where do they GET these children to read the news?!!

Malthouse is on 774 slaughtering the english language as I type this

He's a bit of a shocker. He routinely says, "it's a mute point, comrardy-ship" and "mediocrassy". It's not right that he was earning probably 20 times as much as me.

I remember years ago, Eric Bana did a send-up of a 'typical' footy coach that was clearly Malthouse, but I can't find it. It was on whatever comedy show he was on.

The number of media people who say "comradery" and " vunnerable" is a worry.

Dal Santo - we've come off two seasons
- Now, at the time it caused a puzzled look, but more I look at it the more it could be ok. Though something still irks me. I am thinking it should be "We came off two seasons...."

This doozy from jessy williams
“It was an interesting situation, I was currently in the US when it all happened,” the Aussie star told Fox Sports’ League Life.
- i read, re-read and re-read that numerous times. I now have a headache.

On 360 Nick Reiwoldt was talking about Adelaide mounting their 'grand final defence' this year and was halfway out with it when he realised it wasn't the right term. You could almost hear the gears grinding in his head as he tried to find a better term before finally settling on 'their having another crack at it this year'.

Paul Roos was on Triple M yesterday. It does my farkin head in how dumb he sounds. Constant upward inflections make him sound like a Valley Girl.
I'm not saying he's dopey, but he speaks on radio like he is

Not a verbal faux pas, boganism or cliche but an example of somebody getting their players with the last name of 'Hodge' mixed up.

Former Wallaby Jeremy Paul was on Bill and Boz last night. They were talking about how the QLD Reds new coach Brad Thorn has sent Quade Cooper to club rugby. JP was adamant Quade Cooper should be able to be of some use to the other 3 Aussie super rugby franchises, namely the Melbourne Rebels so he can be a mentor of sorts for Rebels youngster Reece Hodge. However, Jeremy Paul was talking about how good it would for Luke Hodge to learn from somebody of Quade Cooper's experience.

I heard that too, he always sounds kind of whiny and bored to me.

At the other end of the spectrum from the meathead footballers you have the AFL apparatchik types. Just heard an interview with Nicole Livingstone re AFLW. 'What do you make of the Katie Brennen situation?' "I've learned not to worry about anything I don't have control over". Nice cop out. 'What have you learned from your time in the job?' "I've learned that we have a passionate group of people involved in AFLW and that you can't please everyone". Great insights there. 'What's next for AFLW?' "We're going to review everything to do with it as it's very male dominated, even down to the language used". Stand by for ten years hard labour if you refer to an AFLW player as a ruckman. Just a whole bunch of weasel words, absolutely nothing useful from the interview.

Yeah, she's seems pretty smart. She speaks very well, but she's sure got the spin and cliches down. She could easily be a politician

.

he's frustrating, because he's got some good stories, but he's hard to listen to

I reckon David Armitage said on Triple M that he felt "rejuvenized"

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

Sam McLure just then on C7 talking about young Marshall from Port.

Informed us that Marshall is from Deniliquin here in Victoria.

I'm waiting to hear about a commentator , 'Beautiful kick. Hit her lace out on the tit!'

Robbo is the worst offender in this department

Gerard Healy about 10 mins ago on David Swallow.

His best term of the quarter.

 

[Wayne Dwop]

Dal Santo..."..laterally across..." and "...hence why...".

 

[Spongebob]

Someone on 774 .. he got his just resorts.

 

[Saint12]

Gaze: "to the credits boys"he said on the bounce

 

[Saint12]

Frawley: on the bounce 2 minutes after Gaze "the fruit's come to bed" wtf

 

[010203]

With Gazey, Spud and Moons on 'Bounce' there'll be a solid amount of content for this thread throughout the season.
