Maybe this should be in Pedants' Corner but we tend to become familiar with daft new phrases and expressions thanks to radio and TV. Jamie Oliver can hold his hand up for many of them.

I've just heard DH remark, scornfully, 'That's NOT a Bad Boy, moron, It's a CUCUMBER.'

Not so long ago Jamie Oliver was referring to MR. Carrot and MR. Potato....Oh dear. hmm

Nobody does this in real life.....Do they?

You could topple off a balcony looking at the view and you could have a heart attack eating too much pud. hmm

Be careful what you wish for. grin
