I think we all need to understand that the man is banging Po from the teletubbies.

I don't know if I've come across this before but it seems like an Americanism, I've been reading some Breaking Bad forums and the like recently in the run up to the release of the El Camino movie and there seem to be loads of people using this phrase:

"Oh but there's nobody left for Jesse to get revenge from", "I don't see who he could be getting revenge from" etc.

Revenge is an act, it's a thing you engage in - you get revenge ON someone, not strawberry floating from them you morons!

Jumping on the grammar train:

When people say "headed" instead of "heading" I actually want to drop kick a horse.

You don't even see it in forum posts, you see it in HEADLINES on professional news websites.

It makes ZERO grammatical sense and seems just have just slipped into everyone's lexicon without anybody noticing.

I hate it so much.

Imagine someone saying "I'm played Super Mario" you'd think they were having a stroke, yet "Super Mario is headed to the castle" is acceptable? GAH

Another one that gets me is "on the weekend".

That's a little fucky, but at least people say "On Monday" etc, so it makes a bit of sense.

"I'm Headed to the castle" makes absolutely no sense, whichever way you look at it.

It's funny because I've actually pointed it out in article comments sections before and nobody EVER replies.
They just down vote my comment.

'Its cold season!' - no it isn't, and if you get I'll don't come in and spread it about when you're allowed to be at home.

For strawberry float sake

This has got worse today. Cue lots of loud 'listen to how ill am' huffing and sighing. Sniff SNIFF SNIIIIIIF OH IM SO ILL BUT IN SOLDERING ON!!!! Enjoy getting ill over the weekend thanks to me everyone x

"Headed" implies the direction, not the action.

The absolute strawberry floating state that people leave bathrooms in.

Went to go to the toilet at work just now, there are 4 cubicles to choose from.

First one has piss all over the seat, strawberry float that. :X

Second one has a massive pool of what I'm assuming is piss all over the floor around the toilet. The cubicles are small so I'm lucky I didn't step in this bonus floor piss on entry.

Third one is unflushed and the bowl is just full of disgusting gooseberry fool stained bog roll practically up to the strawberry floating brim. No human should leave so much trace excrement on their arse that they need to use this much strawberry floating toilet paper!

By this point I'm practically preparing myself to walk into the fourth cubicle and come face to face with someone literally spreading their faecal discharge all over the walls whilst waving their free flowing todger around like a strawberry floating fire hose... but, thanks goodness, it was clean. The relief was genuinely palpable, I was basically gearing myself up to gooseberry fool in the sink by this point!

What the strawberry float is wrong with people that's what I want to know!? Who the hell uses a toilet and looks at it in that state afterwards and thinks, "yeah, that's fine job done!"

Who doesn't have time to at least have the decency to make sure everything has flushed before moving on?

Also, I'm pretty sure that second cubicle was being used for some kinky fun-times rather than its intended use.

Yup. Filthy strawberry floating bastards. Just flush the loo, you pricks. Same thing happens here.

People are animals.

In the large cubicle I use for changing for cycling, there's often an unflushed gooseberry fool waiting in there. Also, there's always (as in a fresh example every day) a massive sweaty furry arse crack smear on one side of the seat, like.someone has sat down, cheeks spread and then slide backwards to fully seat on the thing

What gets me is when you can hear somebody in a cubicle and they're grunting, straining, panting, and almost getting out of breath. Either they're not in there using the toilet, or they're so clogged up and constipated that it's physically exhausting for them to take a gooseberry fool.

Then they get up and walk out without washing their hands.

"Headed" implies the direction, not the action.

People don't use it in conjunction with a direction though. You get headlines like: "Spyro is headed to PS4"

"Headed" is perfectly acceptable British English.

This baffles and confuses me almost every day. It doesn't matter where I've been at uni or worked, there is a subset of people who do stuff like this and walk away in good conscience and have no problems. Do they do this at home, or are they so morally bankrupt that they out and out don't care? What is the goal behind cramming as much loo roll as possible, what are they hoping to achieve? Someone should go round to these peoples' houses and gooseberry fool on everything they own and then wrap their house in loo roll, covered in a second layer of gooseberry fool.

And that would be letting these people off lightly!

It's is a fascinating snapshot into the psychology of some people though, and raises so many questions. Do they just not care? Do they not know they are doing this? Does it satisfy them in some way? Are they blind to it? Are they choosing to ignore it? Do they always do this or is it selective? Based on what criteria? Is it a retaliation to some slight or a response to something lacking/hurting within them? Is it some kind of dirty protest? We're they always like this or did they become this way over time?

And these people walk among us. They may be our friends or colleagues. The guy that bakes your bread or drives you taxi or analyses your blood test might be one of these.... shitters.

"Addicting"

This, and how it is used as a positive term - "this new game is so addicting!" Hooray, you have created something which people are irrationality compelled to do, often to your own detriment. Congratulations.

It's not though, it doesn't follow any grammatical rules, in fact it breaks one for absolutely no reason.

Since when have rules applied to the English language?

strawberry float that word.

People can shout definitions at me all they like, it's a strawberry floating stupid word used by stupid people (Mostly Americans it seems) and it's creeping into greater usage.

strawberry float off and use the word "addictive" like a normal human being.
