Funny this thread came up as I was watching some politician on the box this mo rning and it seems they have alll been coached in public speaking by Baloney Blair! They all seem to utilise the words "what we need to understand" meaning I dont agree with your question and what you need to understand is my point of view! "Pacifically" instead of specifically, "what it is, is..." (say what!)
The buzz phrase amongst pollies down here at the moment is "going forward" As for sportsmen the answer often seems to be "Yeah, No, Maybe"
x2. "Pacifically" drives me nuts. So, what it is, basically, is that I'm really not liking it. Obviously.
[quote=" "Pacifically" instead of specifically [/quote] THIS! drives me to distraction ut makes me giggle uncontrollably when said by a manager pacific is and OCEAN. other than that i think you're all intolerant pedants
