I don't really understand this. Is proof another word for poison?

When it's thirty below zero, and someone says: "Cold 'nuff fer ya".

"At this point in time".

And this is a wander: saw a sign outside a store today, letting all know that they had "Frozen Ice" for sale.

What is it you don't understand then?
Supposing the police are called to a suspicious death?....The man had pudding and custard all around his gob......the pud was poisoned.....hence the pudding would be evidence.......and once the poison in the pudding was isolated.....it would be PROOF of the dastardly deed.

I really thought you would have got the idea.

To everyone else who got it in the first place..........sorry!

[Tin Monkey]

That's far too abstract for my literal mind.

The phrase is still very annoying, though.

Eric. At this point in time is one of my favourites. How can it be anything other than this point in time?

Another one that has given me the pips over many years is "were all singing off the same hymn sheet"

[ossylass]

"I hear what you're saying" annoys me, and I'm getting tired of being told "It's not rocket science!"

[West Ender]

It irritates me that some young men, born and bred in this country from generations back, have adopted a West Indian accent. Not just that but they say, every 2 minutes, "Y'know wha' a mean?" It drives me mad.

Much as we hate them, we all use these phrases from time to time......except perhaps our own particularly disliked ones.....they are insidious, in that they creep into the language we use everyday.
