Blood for the Baron!

Sorry Baron - I'm at work - it's part of my mindset while I'm here to try to confuse people - makes me seem cleverer!

That's one of those designed to make your head burst when you think about it.

There's a few like that, as well as ones that are more obvious but downright bizarre. Here's a few I can recall sitting here now that I've heard or used during any given day in the working life of slippy:


colleague1: "I heard that creative pitch with {client name} didn't go too well - was it really that bad?"
colleague2: "Mate, it was like a monkey f***ing a football" !!

colleague3: "A profitable venture? Heck - it's like a gravy train with biscuit wheels" Mad!

colleague4: "I'm sure he said the deadline was Friday morning"
colleague5: "Really? Wasn't he more specific and said 11am on Friday?"
colleague4: "Yeah, same difference" WTF??

colleague6: "How come you look so refreshed this morning - I hate this hotel"
colleague7: "I'm fine. I slept like a baby" What - crying, sh*tting yourself and wailing for mummy????

Totally nuts - the lot of 'em....

NOTE: I claim no responsibility for actually saying or using any of these myself. Although it's kinda true.

"Same difference."

Yep, that's another right there!

4000! Catch me if you can, suckers!

get ready for my catch-up-to-Baron thread, might have to send some hard hitters round to nobble your hands to make it easier for me

5000! I rule.

congratulations

this is my 601st post

ive never heard "monkey f#@ing a football" & "biscuit wheels" before, but the other 2 & "taken as a given" make perfect sense to me!

That's one of those designed to make your head burst when you think about it. My mother is the queen of them, one of her bests was;

"I think they're both one side of the other."

WTF

Thought I'd resurrect this thread...
Doing some things for a client at work yesterday, I found a few oxymorons online (as opposed to just morons) and figured we could guess how many of these the Baron's mother has used before:

Exact Estimate
Live Recording
Alone Together
New Classic
Silent Alarm
Plastic Glass (pints)
Standard Option

.... there's too many!
