CORBETT (confused): Well there you are, four candles!

BARKER: No, fork 'andles! 'Andles for forks

 

BARKER: Got any plugs?

CORBETT: Plugs. What kind of plugs?

BARKER: A rubber one, bathroom.

(Ronnie Corbett gets out a box of bath plugs, and places it on the counter)

CORBETT (pulling out two different sized plugs): What size?

BARKER: Thirteen amp!

 

BARKER: 'O's!

CORBETT: 'O's?

BARKER: 'O's.

(He goes to get a hoe, and places it on the counter)

BARKER: No, 'O's!

CORBETT: 'O's! I thought you said 'O! (he takes the hose back, and gets a hose, whilst muttering) When you said 'O's, I thought you said 'O! 'O's!

(He places the hose onto the counter)

BARKER: No, 'O's!

CORBETT (confused for a moment): O's? Oh, you mean panty 'o's, panty 'o's! (he picks up a pair of tights from beside him)

 

:)

BARKER: No, no, 'O's! 'O's for the gate. Mon repose! 'O's! Letter O's!

I've noticed some people have started saying "my bad" when they make a mistake.

 

My bad what? Where does this latest one come from?

 

It isn't new. That saying has been around quite some time. Possibly an Americanism? "Oops, my bad!". Well, it sounds much more cool than "Mia culpa" to which I get blank stares most of the time!

I only noticed it the other week. Must lead a sheltered life....:D

 

It's like someone stopping halfway through a sentence, makes you sound like a right twat.
