You'd be amazed at the number of sayings we use on a regular basis have nautical roots.

Three sheets to the wind.

You mean like "call me Ismael and batten down the hatches because this sea hag is about to swab your poop deck and then get seamen all over your about face, matey." ?

I know someone who finishes all their sentences with "right", "get it", or "know what I mean". The problem is that 99.9% of the time,

 

1. You are not "right"

 

2. I don't "get it"

 

3 I don't "know what you mean"

 

DUMBASS!

"Un-Australian". Would be a big one here, trotted out when something is done that we're informed, really shouldn't happen in Australia.

Nothin for nothin. Hate it.

 

Actually, it's "not for nothing."

 

Thinking Out of the box

 

Actually it's "thinking outside the box."

 

My biggest pet peeve by far is "REALLY?"

 

That seems to be a common language crutch these days when someone is incredulous about the stupidity of others. For instance:

 

This is response number 97 in this thread and no one has mentioned "really" yet.

 

"REALLY?"

 

Yes you phuckin' tard. Really. What? Do I speak with forked tongue?

 

edit:

 

"REALLY? You're correcting other people's posts now? REALLY?"

 

"Yes, that's what I just did. Congratulations on noticing. You get a gold star."

 

edit:

 

I'm not talking about the "really" which is stated in a normal pitch and accent.

 

I'm talking about the "REALLY" spoken like someone is trying to question someone else's intelligence. With that ridiculous inflection.
