1. That bit of pretentious vvank that can last a minute or more on a Youtube vid that you always skip before the tune finally starts

2. That thing where you key in your Google query then look up and find it's not keyed anything at all and you have to do it all over again

Anymore for anymore?

I can think of something for which there is a name, but for the life of me, I don't know why. Perineum. Maybe Dave Gahan invented it to impress the geezer who he saw for his piercing.

The vaguely miserable yet contended feeling you get when staying in on new years eve, where the telly is uninspiring and shows you live scenes you have no interest being involved in, yet still feel that you're missing out on something.

He'd never scored at The Amex prior to that. So technically you should say 'Zamora's first goal at home back in an Albion shirt '
