Party Talk

[drawmack]

ever been at a party and had it get really quite just as you said something that without the context just sounded wrong. Well this thread is to post such things, could be a true story or just something that could be taken two ways.


I'll start:

[TRUE]
[quip]
So there I am standing over her dead body

[context]
Talking about the first time I found a dead resident when I was a nurses aide.

[tekky]

lol non-party but still funny (and true I might add)

At the lunch table in school (many years ago now :P)

"You cant just whip it out, then put it away and say nevermind!"

In reference to a photo album I wanted to show my friend, but by the time she stopped yacking with everyone else at the table, I put it away just as she finally acknowledged that I had it out for her to look at.... she was just a tiny bit embarrassed when about 2 tables worth of people (60+) heard her say that, not to mention the fact that we (her immediate friends at the table) never let her live it down :D

I got a co-worker that did this the other day. I got a set of golf balls from Ceaser's Palace on a shelf in my office. She comes walking in, and in a voice louder than she probably thought, she bellows "Ooooh, nice balls!". The whole office area instantly went quiet.....

Memory from Grade 1:

"And so I told him to use a calculator!"


What people thought I was talking about: They thought I used a calculator on the math test.

Titter titter, here's a couple, i used to present some local radio in the uk. it was the Queen Mother's birthday and i was on the air that afternoon so made some comment along the lines of:

"Happy birthday maam, i can just imagine her sitting there with a large gin, crumb filled blanket over her lap smelling of peppermints and wee - she's 98 so she can get away with it"

Next thing I know is I'm getting complaints from people who were sure they'd heard me say "the Queen Mother stinks of p***" including some muppet who thought he'd have a stab at getting my job while he complained......

Another one was a Good Friday, so I simply asked what was so great about it, after all Jesus was crucified and that's not good unless you're a twisted sadist. Next thing, switchboard full, line 1, a local Vicar kicking off as I'd said Jesus was a sadist.....

There are more, like saying s*** and f*** by accident on a medium wave station, i was still wrecked from the night before (wicked party hence a touch of relevance) and not in a state to waffle to 200,000 people, never mind............

I'm not on the air now, can't think why for the life of me?

Which local radio station? I've sworn a few times on student radio (doesn't sound much, but we do broadcast online (http://union.surrey.ac.uk/GU2Live.asx))

[Weedpacket]

Oh, you cheeky darkie (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storyqueryprocess.cfm?kw1=&kw2=cheeky%20darkie&period=months&op=all&datedrop=no)!

[bliss322]

"We stayed at her ex-husband's place."

actually, there's no out of context for that. my wife and i stayed at her ex-husband's place.

people tend to double-take on that.

Been at a few, was a touch of a media whore (http://www.dmwp.co.uk/andymoorecv.php) ;)

Student radio is a good breading ground for talent and the kind of place where you can get away with the odd language goof ;)

"...So I went a bit further down the street and found one woman who'd do it for five dollars."


Haircuts.

Meeting with clients, a momentary lull in conversation. Suddenly, to fill the gap, there came a voice from the next room...
"I'll go and take a dump, then."

I knew what he meant...

[andymoo]

after a three hour meeting with another company that was going over old ground, again and again and getting nowhere fast my business partner stood up and said:

"we're here, business wise we're all naked, now are we gonna f*** or are you gonna put your knickers back on?"

one of the guys on the other side of the table just threw a wobbler and stormed off. even though i was gobsmacked at the time i was behind him in saying what he did, it really did save us a fortune - we would have lost half the company otherwise!

[goldbug]

Wow, being from the US, I have no freaking clue what you just said.

wobbler? gobsmacked?

[andymoo]

lmao

apologies for my lack of queen's english.

wobbler = throwing a fit, having a tantrum
gobsmacked = shocked, astonished

Not at a party, but whatever:

Me: "I'll be with you in a sec, just let me take off my pants."

I was wearing my gym shorts underneath my jeans.

wobbler? gobsmacked? I got it from context, I think; but I was quite an Anglophile back in the day ...

[andymoo]

Anglophile - Pervert! You can get locked up for that you know, it's just not moral or ethically correct ;)

Technically speaking, the generations and generations of Viking, Anglo Saxon and Roman blood in true brits makes it socially acceptable to butcher small animals with our hands, though only near all hallows eve. It's a practice best carried out Wicker Man style for good taste.

Sadly the way the british society is being diluted with immigrants and european legislation we're now only allowed to munch on small living animals which are halal, kosha and passed by the Nazi's in Brussells as being euro friendly.

Personally I prefer pistachio jello, hershey kisses and root beer more than lightly toasted otter with a little bit of garlic butter :D
