Perhaps you need some new jokes, Mike?

"goblin mode"
Apparently it's been used a lot on social media or something?
Somehow it's become the Oxford Word of the Year with an overwhelming vote.
I fucking hate the term. Everyday the world I know is slipping away.

Nah, embrace it, it just means sitting around in your pyjamas playing games and telling the world to get fucked.

I don'd mind what it describes. I just find the term itself awful.

I don’t mind goblin mode as that “animals going goblin mode” account on Twitter is very funny sometimes
Those crazy animals really do some funny shit

To be honest I find the term any use of BLANK mode a bit annoying. "Beast mode" for example. Too many fucking modes.

What about cock a la mode? Bit of raspberry ripple on a rich, thick, veiny, bulbous bell end. And bilingual. May have to Google that in private mode, later. Hope I have some tiny socks that are clean.

"Upskilling" keeps on being used by certain managers...get to fook! I had never come across this word in 28 years working for the same company, but I think I have not only heard it several times over the past two weeks but it is now appearing in emails from certain managers. At least I can retire at 62. "only" 12 more years, not that I want to wish my life away.

Sat through a death by PowerPoint presentation the other day where they constantly used "1/4ly" instead of quarterly.
First time I've ever seen that and my god I hope I never see it again!

I can still go at 60 due to our original terms being preserved after a merger, so may retire about the same time- we can set up long Horde sessions for through the days. If we can afford the heating and electricity.

It must surely be a sign of how old we are that this is the second conversation hereabouts today about retirement.

It was going to be 60 but I can't really afford that. by 62 I should have enough (I have been paying into very good County council pension for 25 year this year) to "roll me and family over" until pension kicks in at 67 ? I also payed off mortgage last year, my daughter is very happy lol! ...this is assuming everything stays the same, which it will almost definitely not of course.

My partner and a work colleague always say "you're welcome" when I say thank you for something. It's really really annoying. Sure occasionally saying that phase can be a thing but every single time I really don't need or want to hear you're welcome come out of their mouths.

I say 'no worries/problem' a lot when someone thanks me. Just to acknowledge the thanks really. Your partner /colleague are just more formal

Your partner /colleague are just more formal I hear "That's alright" used in this situation a lot, which bugs me. The way people say it, it's like they're accepting your apology for being a massive inconvenience to them, when in most cases they're just doing their job. Like "Yeah, you really fucked up my day with that little request, but never mind let's move on".

I think I know where you're coming from bichii, I have this one colleague who says "you're welcome" every time but it's this weird sing song way of saying it that I think gets drummed into people as children. It's almost a reflex.
