I really don't want Leeds to stay up.
What does "phoning it in" mean?
From the beach?
They’ve just equalised anyway.
You're joking right? Why don't you have a little think about it?
It’s an American thing although I hear ‘mailing it in’ used more often
They will be phoning it in on talk sport.
What the frig does it mean.
I hate these American phrases
If only there was a way for people in other countries to see what America looks like and hear how Americans sound and the things they say. Maybe see and hear some American stories or something like that. That would be cool. ("Cool" is American slang for something good)
Yeah. I have no idea what this means either.
Please explain.
You ok hun? X
Have you heard of Google? It's American, so probably not. Oh well.
Phoning in sick, ie not turning up I’m going for
I'm fine darling. I just find willful ignorance slightly irritating.
As long as rookie or soccer doesnt become words we use. Rookie being used in golf is bad enough. Feckin yanks!!!
Phoning in three points by the look of it.
Not joking, and I did have a little think about it.
It's some kind of euphemism that I've never heard of before. It would appear, from this thread, that I'm not the only one who hasn't heard of it before.
But West Ham are winning.
So this explanation makes no sense.
Guess we won't have Everton away next season then
Have they hung up now?
did t realise it was an American saying， I've heard it plenty of times, most recently about Robert deniro taking increasingly lightweight and low effort acting roles
It means phoning is great - or sick as they say.
It’s looking like the most interesting thing about the final day of the Premier League season next weekend will be to see how Sky markets it - the battle for eighth position is going to be fascinating.
I didn't know what it meant either.
A while back I also didn't know what pegging meant, so I googled that. Google then thought I was interested in stuff not related to hanging out the washing.
3-1 to the Hammers!
West Ham apparently doing a good job of "phoning it in".
I just hope the City remember to pay the phone bill and do likewise all next season.
Taking patronising to a new level, fair play.
You could have just quickly explained it instead of getting all arsey
