"Come and get it! It's a running buffet! All you can eat!" |
A
quickie English lesson:
Cringeworthy:
An informal
adjective defined as causing feelings of acute embarrassment or distaste
Example of usage of the
phrase from good ol Mr Google:
"The play's cast was
excellent, but the dialogue was unforgivably cringeworthy.."
And, a totally
unrelated News In Brief, PTPTN has apparently lifted its freeze on loans for the
new students of Selangor’s Unisel.
Star
quoted Higher Education Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin as follows:
"It was always
PTPTN's intention to test whether the state was serious about providing free
education.”
"Now that the
university has acknowledged the importance of the PTPTN, it is clear that they
are unable to reach the goal of free education."
Note again: News in brief
is totally unrelated to the above quickie English lesson.
Like Shaun of the Dead (above) and
Shaun the Sheep (below).
Both are drop dead funny,
though.
And never a cringeworthy moment to boot.
"Baaa..." |
