I reckon most of us have our little sayings. “I don’t believe it!” and the like. I have a few. Some ripped off from friends or family — such as “you are” in reply to anything, or “you’re an X” where X is the object of conversation — others I’ve created myself. My latest beauty, dubbed “errism” is quite affective in not only derailing any conversation you like but also bringing an equally as intense “WTF?” reaction. “Err” being the equal word to “eww” or “ugh!”. Try it.

Friend: “So I was at the beach on the weekend”

You: “Err!”

Friend: “…”

*eyes move around the room as their brain-cogs turn*

Friend: “What?”

Give it a shot on people you like or dislike, it’ll work (and you’ll look like a twat).
