Nov 3, 2011 · This is an interesting one because 'sod off' is clearly a phrasal noun (and anyone who doesn't believe in phrasal nouns can sod off at this point). However, 'sod' as a stand-alone verb is not in common use--except, as FumbleFingers points out, in 'sod that'. So, if FF hadn't pointed that out, I would have taken 'sod off' to be a phrasal verb ...

Sod this for a game of soldiers/bugger this for a game of soldiers: . oath uttered when faced with a pointless or exasperating task popular expression dating back into the mid-1900s and possibly before this, of uncertain origin although it has been suggested to me (ack R Brookman) that the 'game of soldiers' referred to a darts game played (a variation or perhaps the game itself) and …

Dec 7, 2023 · I do. Because the sz does not cause me issues, it’s well under control with meds (thankfully). Yesterday at the autism assessment, the lady kept telling me to relax, but that’s just how I am. I am anxious all the time. I mean ALL THE TIME. It causes me more harm than good compared to the sz.

Apr 3, 2013 · The phrase to "do one" — essentially an insult meaning to "do a disappearing act" (if the Urban Dictionary's definitions* are anything to go by) — seems to be a fairly recent phenomenon.

How can I explain to people that the phrase "off of" is grammatically incorrect? You can't, because it's not. There are thousands of examples of “off of” in the Corpus of Contemporary American English, not just in spoken English, but in magazines, newspapers, and academic journals as well. “Off of” is well-established as standard in ...
