      It's been a while since we've had a grumpy old man hating on modern day English usage thread but I have been triggered ( 🙂 ) by seeing "verse" as a verb on Sky News this morning, as in "The Wallabies will verse Wales, Georgia ... etc".

      I really really hate that.

      It's not a word! Grrrr

            Yeah its a fucking bogan Aussie thing the old "verse" and it gets worse:

            "Yeah we're gunna be versing the Magpies on Satdee arvo"

            Whenever my kids come home with that shit I give them an English lesson.

              ...where they will be crueled...

              Another made up Australian verb I don't like.

                Bunch of Grumpy old bastards. Reminds me of the lectures I'd get from my mother. 🙂

                The English language is fluid, changes all the time.why not get outraged about things that actually matter? 🙂

                    Fluid as in gender fluid?

                            Flipping this the other way, what about unusual or old fashioned words you like to use?
                            Kerfuffle is one I like using as often as possible, makes a nice change from fuck up or fucken mess etc

                                Pukeroo is a favourite, or for those culturally offendable should I say pakaru?

                                  Probably because bogans use words incorrectly.

                                      My kids use "Verse" and "versing" and because i am a shit parent, i can't be fucked correcting them. I think it's a word now.

                                      Probably the one that pisses me off the most is cis. Someone referred to me as cis-gendered the other day and i deadset wanted to slap a bitch.

                                        You obviously need to check your cis-gendered privilege.

                                              I've also heard "guttering " instead of gutting from people I work with . All the more annoying from people who actually work in an industry that involves guttering.

                                              I despair.

                                                    I enjoy going to hoe downs and drinking moonshine.

                                                    I sometimes give people a tinkle on the old dog and bone too.

                                                    I hate it when young people are hootin and hollarin next door though.

                                                          Not a made up word but the Aussie habit of adding "but "to the end of a sentence is clearly annoying enough to be grounds for justifiable homocide.

                                                          Also "eh" is the correct word for the end of sentence in civilised society anyway eh?
