My daughter misuses this word literally every day.
Erlich Bachmann: Richard wrote the code, yes, but the inspiration was clear. Let me ask you something. How fast do you think you could jack off every guy in this room? Cause I know how long it would take me. And I could prove it.
"Frankly" is my biggest peeve with pols. When most people use it, it's to confess something or to utter some harsh truth. Pols use it to bash other people or to praise themselves or to utter some no-shit comment.
"Frankly, I've done a lot a good work on this issue."
"Frankly, my opponent has been asleep at the wheel."
"Frankly, the debt is too high."
Gosh, thanks for dropping the mask and the talking points to utter some unvarnished truths.

i don't see any issue with any of those. when are you supposed to say "right here"?
I don't know either. I suppose it's redundant, as the "right" is unnecessary. Like "forewarn" or "preheat."
History says, Don't hope
On this side of the grave,
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.
One would think (except in the South, where sugared is standard), but when I order "black coffee," they ask me if I want "room," presumably for cream and/or sugar, which would make it unblack coffee.

Because people like to doctor up their own coffee as opposed to having the waitress do it.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Edit: I probably didn't notice as Australians refer to most professions by adding -ey to the end. An electrician is a sparky, truck drivers are truckies, fireman are firies, etc, etc.

In the last video, he's wrong about "feel bad" and "feel differently."
If it's "badly", you're saying you're inept at something tactile.
"I feel badly."
"Then take the gloves off."
"I feel differently.
"No, you feel different."
"Different" and "bad" and are adjectives describing state of mind. "Differently" and "badly" are adverbs, which modify verbs. Feel as a verb suggests literally touching something.

Your wrong.

What's a "crikey"?
It's what you say when you see your first drop bear.

Huh?
"Arizona is favored." "The Wildcats are favored."
Why would this be different for soccer?
This have to stop.
The bank are upset that I went to hospital, and next hospital threaten to take all my remaining quid. I'll escape down the lift and hide in a lorry. I'll be back at my flat covered in rubbish.

Speak English!
Now that I think about it, Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwin do this, too, with the Tour de France. Are it a Brit thing?
