"Nothing yet, please call back tomorrow." - Andie Oct 30, 13:12 5
- I was probably unreasonably optimistic that I’d get my sneakers back. - znufrii Oct 30, 13:43
- Because it is you, I believe you’ll get it back eventually. As for me? I considered things I’ve lost on the Metro as donations to the homeless. - Qale Oct 30, 13:36 3

dangggg, the GOP is desperate for the Biden comment to wipe the slate clean for the Puerto Rico comment. - Pippy aka Desparada Oct 30, 12:18 16

Would you say that the phrase, 'Oh come off it' is more of a British saying or is just a generic one? -- nm - Jovian Oct 30, 11:46 8
- Wiktionary (reliability??) says it's a originally British slang, formed as a shortened version of the American saying "come off the grass" -- (link*) - ty97 Oct 30, 12:06
- Not British, I’d say. I remember it from my Wisconsin childhood. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 11:58
- i never thought of it as British, is it? -- nm - Andie Oct 30, 11:46 5
  - I dont even know. All I know is when I use it (which is often), in my head I always hear it with a British accent. :) -- nm - Jovian Oct 30, 11:48 4
    - wouldn't an American more likely say "oh, come on"? -- nm - mud Oct 30, 11:54 3
      - I think of "come off it" as British, but "come off it" is what you say to a person who is exaggerating and "come on" is an exclamation - Roger More Oct 30, 11:59
      - right exactly. and Ived wondered (besides my inner monologue whispering it in my head with a British accent) on this. Because when I use it with people -- (edited) - Jovian Oct 30, 11:57 1
        
        That might be because "come off" means success or when something ends up working out. -- nm - con_carne Oct 30, 13:03

  - I also have a lightly used Najee Harris and Kenneth Walker than might interest you. -- nm - Bayronmax Oct 30, 12:26 2
