matt boyd of western bulldogs

cloke more known for butchering the english language (smoke behind windows). But he's really well spoken.

I've been listening to the SEN morning show. And I nearly fell off my chair a couple of times.

I swear Hamish responded to one sensationalised story by insisting: "That's hyperbole!" Except he pronounced it 'hyperbowl'.

And Garry Lyon has spoken more than once about "the archives". Except he pronounces the 'ch' like in cheese.

I don't know if he's doing it as an 'in joke' or parodying someone else's mispronunciation or something. Surely you can't get to that age and be mispronouncing the word 'archives'. Surely.

Maybe they are both tongue in cheek. Julia Gillard famously pronounced hyperbole as 'hyperbowl' once and Barry Hall pronounced archive as 'ar-chives' on a football game telecast one day causing much mirth for the following weeks.

I hope you're right.

I hope you're right.

He is re Hall at least - they constantly play the clip of Hall mangling 'archives'.

Well, that was a long 3 hour tour for me. But me ears have not lost their abilities.

This morning on KB, Waldron referring to the Carlton whippersnippers running around in the midfield.

Later, KB instead of saying team colours started to refer to country colours. Unfortunately it is not a word where you should not stop after the first syllable.

I could have sworn that Robbo dropped an F-bomb talking to Jeremy Howe this morning....did anyone else listen to SEN this morning and pick it up?

Taylor Adams on de goey - he's a good kid

Taylor, you're 23, De Goey is 21. Hardly a kid.

My most hated footy cliche - "at the coalface". Anyone dropped that nugget yet this season?

Some racing car expert on the radio talking about Ricciardo and saying thing went awry for him at the Grand Prix, only he pronounced 'awry' as 'or-ree'

Wasn't Webber, not sure who it was.

Listening to EON Sports this morning and they were discussing the football. One of the guys said that some team's forward line was a 'rubble'

Last night on Talking Footy, Wayne Carey said "digressed" instead of "indiscretion".
When talking about Hogan and Lewis getting suspended, he said, "both players clearly digressed". ... unless someone wants to argue that punching someone is a 'temporary digression from the main subject'

Presumably he meant 'transgressed'.
