We’re back again, like a lingering distant family member you’ve not seen for over a decade who now won’t leave you alone because he or she needs investment for their new business idea; lemon shorts.
Phew. Glad I changed my number after the first eleven missed calls.
Can we keep mining that rich seam that resulted in March’s gold? Let’s see:
- Take that language and fold it up, turkey – sassy comeback for some sassy character you’ve been saving for a rainy day
- Sweet Petunia! – an exclamation that suits every single situation you could possibly imagine, also makes you look really smart
- Leave the beef on the bench – telling your co-worker that the stapler war they’re engaging that tool from the other department with isn’t worth their time
- Double denim venom – when your friends don’t understand your fashion sense
- Comma comma hashtag, whaaaat? – you know you’re the comic relief if you’re coming out with gems like this
I bet there’s one in there that you NEVER thought you’d ever see again. You know what? You’ve only yourself to blame because I had forgotten it until you mentioned it. Ha ha!
Anyway, keep all your suggestions (or any suggestions whatsoever) coming in. When we reach halfway through the year, I’ll bring forth the best so far into some kind of mega poll based on feedback received.
Yah boo sucks.

There’s a very bold claim here about a “rich seam”. Here’s what I’m seeing.
1. Insufficient sass and takes too long to say. Sassiness is snappiness, as my grandad used to tell me.
2. No. This isn’t a thing.
3. This may have potential. I think you need to partner with some loud sports coaches and get them to put it in their pep talks to raise its profile.
4. Hard pass.
5. I feel like this would clear the room if used in company, and strongly advise you against deploying it.
I agree with that other bloke above.
3 has potential,
2 is bobbins,
4 belongs in that fashion film that’s come back again for some reason and the other two are just a pile of nope.
Ah yes, that fashion film. Perhaps at this late stage, with the film about to come out, I could persuade them to do a colab together. Get the biz rats and shuffle out the mungo.
What’s the fashion film? Is it Zoolander?
It’s The Devil Wears Prada 2. I haven’t seen the first one and I have no intention of watching this one either.
I don’t think I’ve seen it either, unless it’s an alternative name for Care Bears 2.
It was a working title for Care Bears 2, and then they changed it last minute.
To care bears 2 or to The Devil Wears Prada 2? Either was I can see much of the audience being disappointed.
Either was indeed.
Look, is anyone going to shuffle out the mungo?
Are you trialling another phrase ahead of May’s phrase phase list? Because I don’t think “shuffle out the mungo” is going to be a winner.
