[BNM] [OT] 13 things that don't make sense

[Alex Studd]

It's like when your wife asks you to do something and you say "i'll do 
it in a bit" a bit is just sufficient time to finish watching the 
football, eating a sandwich, drinking a beer, picking your toes or 
whatever other vitally important task you need to finish before doing 
something less important like freeing her mother from a gin trap or 
putting out a chip pan fire

The word bit is an infinatly variable amount of time but it's always 
just enough for you to get a bollocking

Manaña is similar but more Iberian
