...as the Americans would say.
It's an ugly phrase - to say that something 'sucks' - but there is no other way to put it.
A few weeks ago, I took off my watch while exercising and I've not been able to find it. And, believe me, I've looked everywhere.
Last week, therefore, I decided to buy a new one and went onto the site of the company that has been called "the evil empire", i.e. Amazon. I trawled through ladies watches with a leather strap as I was worried that a metal strap might be too large for me and, since we can't enter shops, I wouldn't be able to have it adjusted and it would fall off and I'd be back to square one, i.e. watchless.
The new watch arrived on Saturday and when I took it out of its box, I was shocked. My mouth fell open. It was so small and the strap so thin. Now that it's on my wrist, it looks utterly ludicrous: way too small for my arm. It might be all right for a small 12-year-old girl, but not for a grown woman.
If only I could have seen it in real life. I would never have chosen it, but now I'm stuck with it. Online shopping sucks.
