from "I do" to "Adieu" 

The typical course run by more than 50% of marriages.
Marriage counsellor: I always advise my "starry-eyed lovebirds" clients to "look at the whole picture" --- i.e., consider the entire scope and details of marriage --- before deciding whether they would truly be a good match for each other... I'd sure hate to see their fairly-tale romance merely proceed from "I do" to "Adieu" like so many of marriages do these days.

That clumsy gluttonous party-crasher wasn't invited to our backyard barbecue in the first place, and so his "long tearful goodbye" hijinks were really just "much adieu about nothing".

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
