But I'm not wearing a watch

Ahem. *clears throat nervously*

I was wondering if I should share this post but I shall assume that you readers are a nice bunch of people and will not judge me (^.^)V

I was on fmylife.com and came across this post (click on it to view it more clearly!):

So usually participants will post the awful things that happened in their lives on the site. And I was wondering what was so bad about the guy beside you saying "nice watch".

I then did a search on urbandictionary.com and I found the clarification to my bewilderment:

Phrase muttered at a urinal to make small talk or to cover for the fact that the person saying it has just looked at your junk.

And now we know! The website also says that you can use the phrase to mess with the person who picked the urinal next to yours. Boys, useful info for you? :)

About this Blog
Nur Rashidah

This blog is a compulsory component of a Linguistics module I'm taking. I, along with my other coursemates, have to note down our observations on the English Language twice weekly.

I'll try to make the anecdotes as entertaining and personal as possible, but having said that I must stress that this is in no way a personal blog whatsoever :)

Do leave a comment to say hi, criticise constructively or just to share what's up :)

Tag! You're it!
