"Downsize" - buying 45rpm singles instead of LPs

"Reduce Box Count" - Not counting how many boxes you have so often, in order not to horrify yourself.

I too see these two phrases appearing regularly in thread titles - neither makes any sense to me.

I Feel exactly the same about these three meaningless letters: WAF.... :scratch:

Apparently though it's a contagious condition, especially among the henpecked.

.......and another, especially on ebay is "rare" when the object is patently not rare :rolleyes:

Somewhat tangentially, every politician who appears on my telly starts every discussion with the words ‘I/we/my party/Jeremy (delete as appropriate) has been very clear on this’.
Then proceeds to use a similar phrase at regular intervals throughout the piece.

OK, guys and gals, it’s understood from now on, leave it out and take the opportunity to stick a few more-entertaining untruths in, we’re fed up of this one.

.......and another, especially on ebay is "rare" when the object is patently not rare :rolleyes:

Following on from this, it is also a fact that when something is described as "Rare - the only one on eBay", not only will there be four more of them listed at the same time, the others will all be cheaper and in better condition.

'Reluctant sale' = Can't wait to get shot of the bastard thing.

'Priced to sell' = Previously listed at twice the price

'Customised' = Broken

'Rare example' = Most have been binned because they're shite

.......and another, especially on ebay is "rare" when the object is patently not rare :rolleyes:

Very true, I used to see it a lot when I had an old Golf GTI, people advertising parts on Ebay as rare that are freely available from GSF or ECP.
You also saw "uber rare" that usually meant also freely available but the seller was adding "scene tax"
