Verbal Faux Pas, Jargon, Cliches, Boganisms, etc

Dr Turf just had one now on SEN, talking about drugs in US sport

"Well I think after the Lance Franklin drug admissions......"

Strange awkward pause from Liam/Hutchy before they ventured "You mean Lance Armstrong.....right?"

Maybe not

From the game tonight, on Dale Morris: "He's a backbone at the heart of this defence..."

With an anatomy like that, no wonder he missed so much football.

Tonight, a 3aw talkback caller was critical of international cricketers possibly getting rushed citizenship, and said, sarcastically: "maybe we should get a whole group of players and citisize them..."

Ha

Andrew Gaze, just today (!!): "one reason we chose him as coach was because of his level-headness".
"...the last time I saw an airport ternimal"

BT, after he got someone's name wrong: "that was a fraudulent slip"

Leigh Matthews: "it depends what your criterium are". He obviously should've said "criteria", and no, he didn't say "criterion"

Lethal has an unusual impediment: he gets the letters 'r' and 'w' mixed up if they're both in the same word, and usually replaces the 'w' with an 'r'. For example: he'll pronounce 'Werribee' as "Rerribee"

All gold.

One of the many reasons to avoid SEN in the morning. (Lovely bloke, Gazey, but abysmal on radio.)

BT just now

"Kicking to the Couthern Soventry end...."

EDIT And again just now: "James Rivers"

Ah yeah, BT the other day said 'allergy' instead of analogy, when talking about Hardwick's "make love with my wife" comment. BT goes: "yes, that was a strange allergy".

Ok, maybe it was just a slip of the tongue, and not something he's likely to repeat, but still ....

Here's a quirky one from Malthouse last week: "we're a little short, in terms of talls"
Eh, I thought it was kinda funny.

People who don't know the difference between "phenomena" and "phenomenon"

Same. But when I heard him doing commentary on the basketball at the Olympics I was very impressed. He should stick with what he knows I reckon

Fev the other on 3aw: "I was in Yarrawonga, and we unveeled the flag"

More boganisms on footy radio:

I can't believe how many people get 'bought' and 'brought' mixed up, even the apparently smart guys.

Some guys pronounce "we've" as "where've". Then there's the more typical "yourv" for 'you've'

Crikey

 

[MisterMarcus]

One of the SEN blokes called Firrito something like "Fer-tay-tio"

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Fair to assume that David Schwarz hasn't seen the word 'epitome' in an SMS before.

Robbo saying "he's" instead of "his" ****ing shits me. I know people type it but he types it and says it!

Slobbo's mangling of the English language in print, TV and radio is just one of his many unappealing characteristics.
Truly shambolic.

Bit surprised nobody has mentioned David Evans' "erotic supplements" from yesterday's Ziggy presser.

In terms of verbal faux pas' it sure was. Thought I'd misheard it so took it back and nup.. that's what he said alright.

Perhaps it wasn't a mistake. Maybe the Bombers have been using viagra.

Doubt it. Didn't have much luck keeping it up last season.
