I heard a promo on Triple M this arvo for one of their shows and it had Peter Daicos explaining the phenomenon of him and his two sons, "I tell people I'm the original and those two are the prototypes"

He said this again the other night on The Front Bar

I heard some new jargon from 'Bucksly' the other day; well, it's new to me: "he's good on the ground, but he hasn't got aerial". He said it 2 or 3 times

What I find interesting is when someone takes over another person and how "scripted" the actual dialog is.

RE: Abbey Holmes taking over the Hamish role of leading the football discussion and such in between quarters, end of game etc. Stilted, unnatural, tongue tied.

** Using the same phrases and such hence the scripting

Jimmy Bartel: "He's in 2 team of the centuries".
There hasn't even been 2 centuries of football yet

I'm not sure about this similar one, but it amused my small mind. A Triple M stats guy (not Chew-Man) said "there have been 6 pushed in the backs"

Does one send condolences to the dead?

OH GOOD LORD ABOVE!

Ralph Mouth says ‘don’t get caught up in the MIN-U-TAY.’

The word as most basic primates know is Minutia - MI-NU-TIA.

Could he be any more STUPID?

Gerard Whateley used it on 360 when Big Bad Barry Hall was a guest. BBB looked every which way and finally said, “I don’t understand big words.” Funny stuff

Luke Hodge: "they need to learn to DEEfend". He said it twice

More bulldust jargon by Buckley: "he shows and goes". WTF does that even mean?!?

I've done this one, but it bugs me how Damien Barrett pronounces 'albeit' as "Al Be-it", as in Al Bundy
