Luke Hodge: "they need to learn to DEEfend". He said it twice

More bulldust jargon by Buckley: "he shows and goes". WTF does that even mean?!?

I've done this one, but it bugs me how Damien Barrett pronounces 'albeit' as "Al Be-it", as in Al Bundy

Yes, this Dee-fence crap is going too far.

The reason you can say Off-ence is that there is a loose English grammar rule that says you shorten the vowel (‘O’) before a double consonant - like ‘proffer’ or ‘gaffer’ or ‘Doddery’.

There is ZERO justification for saying ‘dee-fence’ except wanting to sound like a muppet yank.

I think “shows and goes” is like the Dwayne “shake and bake”.

Trent Cotchin, “comes to his fruition” when talking about Steele Sidebottom.

That reminds me of one of my all-time favourites that I posted on the first page. Terry Daniher said, "we hope the planning through the week comes to fruitician on Saturday"

Re: Verbal Faux Paus

Sandy Roberts: "And with me today is Miss Australia, Leanne Cok"

Apparently she married a man with the last name dick. True story. They had her attend the same function as Sandy not long ago lol

Her maiden name is Dick, her married name is Cockerill

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Her maiden name is Dick, her married name is Cockerill

It was at a big race meeting, she was the current Miss Australia. Sandy said, “I’d like to welcome Miss Australia, Leanne Co*k, I mean Leanne Dick…”

I imagined him and the producer going through the running sheet beforehand and Sandy saying, “Gosh, I hope I get that right.” And then he didn’t.
Well, it’s an easy mistake to make

Why you telling me a story I’ve heard 1000’s of times every time Sandy gets introduced over the last 40 odd years

This one is still the winner by the Flemington straight in my book

A caller to Tom Morris this afternoon on SEN mentioned a club “putting the rack on the cue”.

Actually by the length of the Mt Gambier dog leg for it was at the Mount Gold Cup meeting that Sandy uttered the nugget

in the elimination final was in there.

Basil Zempilas is a worst of all time commentary candidate.

1) claims the clock shouldn’t have stopped & it was an error, as Shuey walked back for goal. Honestly what? What in the *? Time never stops for that, there’s 30 times a game you can learn that Basil you ******* dickhead

2) then when he kicks it his commentary is “he’s kicked a goal, the Eagles. Have won”.

Wow. Inspiring. Really added to it.

I’m so ******* glad he’s been put back in Perth & doesn’t have to annoy the rest of us.

Nah I'd grant an exemption if it's Melbourne, DEEfence from the Demons.

I did say it was a ‘loose’ grammatical rule - very hard to find anything thats absolutely locked in with English.

It usually falls down when its derived from a French or Greek word…such as Daemon.
