We can't even afford a garden, so when my girlfriend bought us a trampoline I hit the roof.

Sad news: The British simile champion has died. We shall not see his like again.
My mom doesn't trust my dad's secretary. I asked her why, and she just said 'I've seen her type before'.
Today someone told me that I look good with a salt 'n' pepper beard, so I took that as a condiment.
My French pen friend just said 'Le Monde', which means the world to me.
Can anyone tell me what FOMO stands for? Everyone else seems to know.
