Hmmm, strange one alright. All I can of is that you were in a gay bar, and were in fact, seemingly unbeknownst to you, being asked to give a two-fingered variation of a hand job - as in passing the scissors, or two fingers if you will, up and down, up and down, up and down, until satisfaction was secured, and thus the scissors passed sufficiently.Probably true, but. But I still chuckle every time someone asks me to "pass me a scissors". WTF?
That's the only explanation I can think of.
Here here!!
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I presume he means it's they can want a scissors all they like, they won't be getting any. The scissors, on the other hand...Presuming they actually want a scissors...what's wrong with that?

Does anybody remember a KitKat ad from years ago, it ended with the phrase "no rest for the wicked". I thought it said "no rest for the weekend"
One really annoying word I remember from my primary school days was "bokkel" instead of bottle. I've even heard adults pronounce it this way

Pedantic Pat should have two capital Ps!
Nah was just explaining for ORA. Personally it's not something that gets my ghost. Wahey! We're back on track!

I heard Ronnie McFaul, the manager of Portadown, being interviewed on BBC NI about him being awarded an OBE in the Queen's New Year's Honours List. He said he was "humiliated by the award" as opposed to, I think, "humbled by the award".

But what if there's two scissors in the room. How can both be referred to as the scissors

"Almost always" - Isn't always a definitive way of describing something?
You either always do something or you don't.

Eh, no you don't.
I almost always ignore this thread, but I made an exception this one time.
In keeping with the thread - I was referring as to whether "almost always" is gramatically correct!!
Quoting years at random since 1975
But almost always is just a little bit short of always, surely? My post used a practical example to highlight this. (An example which I'm making more redundant by the reply...)
What about "almost never"?
I think "almost never" is gramatically incorrect also.
In gramatical terms, I think words like "always" and "never" are classed as definitive and cannot be qualified with words like almost and nearly.

Going to have to disagree with you on that. Almost always simply means 99 times out of 100, for example. Don't see any grammatical problems with that.
Ah whatever, pedantic Pat
Not so. "Almost" is an adverb, and adverbs can be used to modify other adverbs, in this case "always" and "never", which are adverbs of frequency.
So, to be clear, its gramatically correct to use "almost always" , "nearly never", "almost forever" in a sentence.
Good God. I sit corrected so. I'm off to re-think my entire life and all assumptions within it.

Both are grammatically correct.
This one is wrong. "Forever" is an adverb of time, not frequency.
Gramatically, it is the same kind of word as "tomorrow".
You can't modify them with "almost".
