How about 'literally' when it isn't... At all. 

Or 'ironically' when it isn't - looking right at you, Alanis!

I call my brother "Bro" have for years he is 2 years younger & smaller & he has never minded. As far as understand it's just plain old Aussie slang, like Mate, Cobber etc.

We all have nicknames down the Pub & hardly anyone calls people by their real name, in fact I would struggling trying to remember some of the names. It is all in good fun.  As long as you are respectful, get on & have a beer, who cares ? If you are going to be rude to someone it means you are prepared to fight them. 

Cheers Bro ... oops I mean OD  what was I thinking !!

You Sir, are a provocateur extraordinaire! - which is an enormity when used against the poorly educated masses. I'm guessing you get called 'grammar nazi' fairly often?  It must be terrific to be online with you.  

Irregardless I will keep reading your words...

FFS! Nobody tell @MUZZYabout this thread - his OCD on the spelling and grammar would leave a crater where he used to live!

I fear you misjudge The Great Muzzled One sir. In my mind I see him in his lair, pacing to and fro, pondering the matter.Should he treat this lot of nonsense as the unfortunate scribblings of the great unwashed? Or should he draw a line against so much blatant, and at times wilful illiteracy? If the latter, and he chooses to” stiffen the sinews and summon up the blood” as recommended by Henry V, then we should all be afraid. Very afraid. I await his response with trepidation. Stay close to shelter.

I think Muzzman has things under control, he seems well versed with the English tongue.

I like the Aussie reverse nicknames.  I think there is a proper description of it.  Like when we call

• The redhead guy "Bluey"
• The bald guy "Curly"
• The quite guy in the corner "Rowdy"
• My uncle called me "Baldy" when I was a kid, because I had a mop of hair on my head

By the way @ozdevil, is it okay for me to call my Brother-In-Law, "Bro"?

• I played Darts with a guy called    Peter Gale - " Windy "
• A mate at the Pub always wears an Air Force Cap - " Shady "
• I have another mate who is always late - " Nightshift "
• Another Guy is a Funeral Director - " Tombstone "

The list goes on.

Adding to this:

I should of done that - No, you should HAVE done that, not OF. For Pete's sake, it doesn't even make sense. 

And don't get me started on the permanent misuse of their, there, they're or your and you're.

Then of course there is for "all intensive purposes" instead of intents and purposes.

How about 'loose' and 'lose' - so many get them exactly the wrong way around!

Even though poor spelling and grammar grind my gears a little, I'm learning to look past the errors of other people. There's not enough time in the day to correct all of them.

Perhaps the government could wage a war on "error" and start by putting more funding into education and, more specifically, English.

Ain't that the truth! What normal person ever says "disposal by foot" anyway.  

Exactly. The other one that's crept in over the last few years is "DEfence and OFFence" or "offensive play". It's always been attack since I can remember. The yank crap can piss off 

[Marty_G]

I frequent some footy forums and the constant misspelling of re-sign just does my head in.    To re-sign and resign are very different. They are most likely antonyms.

I get the no hydrometer thing a bit, after years of using similar yeasts I don't even really need to look at it, I know after a certain time it'll be finished. 

However, I still check it to be sure even though I have kegs, and bombs aren't a concern. ABV is an important thing to note for me, and it's a good confirmation in regards to mash temp and in the case of lagers how long I hold the initial sacch rest before heating up to the 72 degree rest. If the beer is too thin or has too much body I can tweak the temperature or initial rest time over a few batches to get it where I want it, or repeat the same if it's fine the first time. 

The first pilsner I brewed getting back into it is a little on the full side, so for the one currently fermenting I increased the initial rest by 10 minutes. Will see how it went in about 3 weeks. 

 

On topic more I still haven't thought of any brewing jargon that annoys me. Plenty of footy jargon however, like "disposal by foot". It's a bloody kick

I used to work with a guy and his nickname was Pot hole.

It stood for.
