Not for me, Clive

Popularised by football co-commentator Andy Townsend, this is essentially an alternative way of saying “I don’t think so”.

The two main benefits are:
- it seemingly absolves you of any responsibility to say how you arrived at your decision
- it implies that whatever you’re judging is a load of nonsense that doesn't deserve further comment

Particularly useful when talking about a new-fangled, modern idea you can’t really get your head around.

The most beautiful sight but at the same time, the most fearful.

It is the morning sun and the dark sky and the grass, and the black crow flying, and the snow on winter.
Crivel is whatever you can think of. It can be used to replace whatever word you want, but don't overuse the crivel. You have to learn to appreciate the crivel.
Use crivel in everyday sentences:
1: You must be one with the crivel before you question the crivel.

2: May the crivel be with you.

3: Crivel is a virtue.
