Newmarket Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Penultimate. I have to laugh when above word is used, seems every race day. Somebody obviously started using it, but now everyone does. Makes me laugh, most struggle to string together a basic sentance, then this word pops up. ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Beau Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I believe Glyn Tucker first used the word “penultimate” in racing, way back when racing was on TV 1. Last century it was, from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jess Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 And one of my alltime hated phrases ..."going forward" Most often used in a context in which there is no other direction to be heading! Just a redundant little pair of words which people somehow think adds meaning or gravitas to whatever they are saying. Funny really when it has a reverse effect on me. I'm inclined to disregard anything which is said or written in a sentence alongside these 2 words and have been known to delete emails without even reading the rest of them once I encounter the phrase. So far this approach has served me well because most people using the phrase are idiots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
