Pinball terms that 'get your goat'.......with extras, a fun thread, don't get serious please!
- Thread starter Homepin
- Start date
A specfic pinball term that i really really hate......”probably an easy fix” or...”could be a loose wire or fuse”
Starting a sentence with “so”...or “i’m sorry but...”
“Obviously”
Used for padding in every sentence - mostly females ................... incoming

or "basically" and then go on for hours...
"No offence but...", as a prelude to some of the most offensive things ever said.
If you are going to be offensive, just do it, does't seem to bother the majority of people, why excuse yourself from it.
Worst thing is, I have caught myself saying it.
More in a work context, same thing - "just playing devils advocate".

Paddles.
Pin head.
Bulbs.
Elastic bands.
Play Deck.
Rear panel.
Ball bearing.
Fully refurbished . Absolutely stunning . (If you’re Mr. Magoo).
“At the end of the day....”
“So to speak”
“As it were”
“Know what I mean” (not pinball phrases, but equally annoying!).
And loads I have forgotten that I will edit/add when they come back to my grumpy old mind.

The way most Americans pronounce 'solder' 
Talking of yanks….over using the word “alright” “great”
“Recently refurbed” has to be in the top 10
Aloominum is the worst.

Its a rooter not a rowter…..spelt router of course
Great to see you guys “living your best lives”
Ah yes but in our defence rooter means something completely different in Oz - as in when asking your mate if he got laid... "did ya rooter?"

So many people call them SOUND AND LEISURE.

r@re!
Not annoying but funny…wishing known “flippers“ a GLWS…of course no sarcasm at all
Being dyslexic this is probably not be the correct thread for me to post on as the spelling police may pick up on it, but what I hate at work is the young kids saying “do you know what I mean“ after everything they say or “init”
Worst of all “do you know what I mean init”
Worst of all “do you know what I mean init”
