    You mean in the context of when they are writhing on the floor in front of you yelling 'I only commented about her salad and she kicked me in the crutch!!!'

      Yes, precisely. I'd kick you again and say, it's CROTCH you idiot.

              The little things that annoy you

              Anyone who spells 'fair' as 'fayre'.

              Comic Sans

              Apostrophes used in plurals. For example "clothe's"
              The vegetarian option.

                      And then there are those - usually publicans - who use "fayre" when they mean "fare": "Traditional English Fayre" (i.e. fish and chips, or steak and kidney pie).

                      Sometimes they use "fair" instead, which is almost as annoying but at least isn't a cloying archaicism
