we will be the first to admit we have had a fall from grace and now are relatively inconsequential in terms of overall world events, but when people come up first with saying the Brits mean nothing it's pretty fair to say as a country we had a hell of an impact on world history as a whole which affected how many countries across the world developed. I reserve the right to put that across in a wholly patronizing, passive-aggressive manner :britain:

real question has there ever been a politician in england who even suggested that idea or would the monarchy just go over him and destroy him, his career, his family, etc.?

similar but I have to use of the verb "to go" instead of to "speak", also "like"

when used as a combo with "turned around" it amplifies the annoyance of both of them

"so he turns around and goes blah blah blah, so i'm like bloo bloo bloo, then so he's like blah blah blah and I turn and around and i'm like bloo bloo bloo"

so many unnecessary nonsense words

in fact, relaying any previous conversation verbatim is completely pointless most of the time. just summarise the key points made by all parties involved.

When people say they "just about did *something*" to mean that they did the something but only just when in reality if you just about do something you almost do something but you don't actually do it.
