How dare you! IPA is so precise and elegant, a universal bridge between all language in a single script. ****ing love phonetics.
I can't imagine being around a bunch of dudes talking about grammar. You must have been the kid who got beat up in the locker room.
I wouldn’t be bragging about watching some kid be beat up in a locker room for having interest in school and not doing anything. It’s kind of an embarrassing thing to be using as a way of saying someone isn’t cool.
Normally we celebrate people who defend vulnerable people against bullies, not the bullies themselves. And well-adjusted people when they become adults don’t look back fondly on their tacit support of such behavior.

Still messaged a bunch of people I knew and was like "bro! that's the bad guy in Beverly Hills Cop" with pictures. In my defence, I was a young 32 at the time or something. Yuteful indiscretions.

Born and bred in Stepney, which is where I lived in the 90s and how I know the Grapes and all the Wapping pubs.

There was one locals pub just the other side of the Mile End Rd that was full of ageing gangster types and their families, and sitting in there with a mate and watching it all over a few pints was very entertaining.
