Distinguishes from "shallow frying" and "deep frying", but I agree that's an annoying term.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

"When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die! You don't know who's children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

When doing a presentation and someone says “I’d like to talk to that point”, no you f’in don’t, you want to talk about that point. If you want to talk “to” that point turn around and talk to the screen and we’ll all off for a coffee until you’re finished

"Isn't it ", used by news readers after a question, also known as a leading question.
"79% of 119 women agree", used extensively in TV adverts, I just wonder what parts of the body they use to make the statement accurate It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

The way people can’t get to the point without telling me their life stories and other irrelevancies and other people trying to second guess what I am saying and getting it wrong.
