The Bitch Box

FETCHER. · 10-25-2012, 07:01 AM

Went to view a pup today, before we got there we went for some fish and chips and we spoke about how my brother and dad don't want the pups pic going on Facebook because they want to see her IRL first. So I say "quite right, I'm sick of stuff being broadcasted on FB before I find out" and my sister says "like what?" And the only example I could think of was when my nephew was in hospital, nobody told me about it except my friend who seen it on Facebook and I was understandably quite annoyed and upset. So then Kim walks out the restaurant with my nephew saying she will come back when I've calmed down then my mum goes off on one at me for bringing the hospital thing up. So now I am sat on a park bench somewhere in a 40miles radius of Loch Lomond because my sister ran off and my mum told me to get out of the car. Day off college well spent eh?

You mean, like, "a ton of fat chicks"? Cause that might not be a metaphor.

We have a scrap metal bin that has a ton of metal in it. True story.

I blame the Romans. That phrase was first used in reference to a TUN, which is an italian wine cask. I always use **** load to avoid the confusion, but Irish tend to use arse load. Maybe buy some tums for the sickness next time.

I always say a **** ton :/

I think people should put their stuff on a scale and weigh it. If it's 1000 kilos, then fine, say a ton, if not, say something else. Suggestions?

I also hate it when you Americans say "a bunch of stuff"... but then we say things like "a geansai load" (pronounced "gan-zee", Irish for jumper, or sweater if you prefer) --- sometimes gets changed to a "ganjy" load, but then that should be something else altogether.

"Jumper" here is a kind of dress:

I always wondered why you guys call sweaters "jumpers"... Do you jump in them?

Do you jump in the dress?
