Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
meant to add this one:
"pass the buck" i always thought this was "pass the book", and here was my logic behind it, which makes a lot of sense too , I thought it meant passing the book around, as in you wouldn't take responsibility for reading, you were asked to read out from the book but you wouldn't take the responsibility of reading outloud in front of everyone.....
something to do with america im assuming though, is it? around washingtons time i spose? i could google but ill give someone else the chance to prove they know the origins.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker

Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Tee hee! Not seen this one before.
How about "The Hairy Henry" for Thierry Henry?
Reminds me as well - anytime the Beeb have a live game on, turn on the subtitles. It uses some sort of speech recognition thing to decide what the person is saying. In the 2002 World Cup alone, I made a note of these verbal typos (heard one or two, then started keeping track for the first fanzine of the new season) -

I have another one, I just saw this evening. "lost in the midst of time" instead of "lost in the mists of time".
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Just heard a Senior Manager referred to as the "Head Nocho".
Quoting years at random since 1975
One that I saw today - "tubberware" instead of "tupperware". You know, because of the "tubs"

You should emphasis your point next time using a balister, which is a type of cross-bow (from the Latin ballein - 'to throw'). However, he's probably talking about a baluster, which is indeed correct(ish - there's a slight difference not worth discussing).
I find it hard not to snigger when people use 'pacific' for 'specific'. I had a lecturer a few years ago who said it constantly.
You can't spell failure without FAI
The use of the word "infraction" can get annoying!!
A favorite amongst Dublin urchins: 'a package of cripps instead' of ' a packet of crisps'
and for the season that's in ' peas on earth to all...' I'll get me coat
The next series of something referred to as the next "serious".

Doing a job yesterday and this wan came up to me talking about it. She then goes, 'It gets very monogamous' instead of monotonous
