In terms of verbal:

‘If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best’

‘I do not bite….hard

In terms of facial, it is smirking or over exaggerated eye blinking

Any combo of that above you definitely would get a slap

I don’t care if she looks like Salma Hayek and has the ability to suck a golf ball through a garden hose if they have “if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best” on their profile it’s a left swipe and a block.

I did mention the 360 problem to a rather annoying manager once. She somewhat lost her shit and quoted corporate handbook page 4 "You need to have a Positve Mental Attitude" Nick. Ahhhhhh...PMA...how I miss that one too.

Thankfully, her boss was my old boss (a best friend these days), and he quoted "Nick's results are currently the only thing making your department look good" back at her.

She did an enormous 180 after that .

I am also not too keen on anything you see in a stereotypical spinsters house.

If slogans were to be beleived, ALL women over 25 are fueled by coffee, gin or prosecco.

I saw one in a shop that said 'bye bye coffee, its prosecco time!' and i actually told it to fuck off

As in those social posts where people write a caption under a photo saying “enjoying my best life with this one…” instead of saying their name.

When the bar staff ask what the customer would like to drink and the answer is "can I get......."

No, you can't get, that's the fucking bar staff's job!!!!!!!!

Also, on the subject of drinkers, the ones who order a big round and leave the Guinness to last.

It’s just the shorter way of saying ‘I am annoying wanker that’s desperately trying to sound cool by using shite Americanisms for no good reason’

"I'm sorry you feel that way" - Generally used by people who think an apology is what you want to hear without taking any actual responsibility for being a knob in the first place.

No1. "I'm not going to lie".

No2 americans use this way too much. " go ahead and" or " i went ahead and"

Remove both of these from the sentence, they are not needed. Can you imagine needing to stop in an emergency, and some America shouts ((( go ahead and stop))), oh too late. Oops. Grrrr, sentence needed to be (((stop))).
