[Closed] "Thanking you"

The use of the word 'babe', especially in one-sided phone conversations "Loves ya babe... Loves ya... Bye... Loves ya babe..." FFS finish the ****ing call you dinny bint,

"Not bad, yourself?"

see that doesn't seem too bad to me - as it's common parlance.
I was thinking more along the lines of:
"please could you send that to Trisha and myself"
or
"I'm contacting yourselves because I'm bad at grammar"

A thread has just reminded me of these

Huck, stoked, ripped, gnarly, chapeau, bidon, steed, push iron, pavé

Gargggghh!!!

I was introduced to the phrase "high touch" the other day when I asked who had specified and sold the project I am involved in. I was informed that it was Mr X who is very high touch, basically meaning he runs off like a scalded rat as soon as the contract is signed as he is well aware it is practically impossible to deliver said project.

Chillaxe, my girlfreind says this, I swear to God she will get a ****ing axe if she doesn't stop.

Love a bit o' variety in language.

To be annoyed by someone rockin up and arksin for a borrow of my pen would be odd.

Language rox!

I will end you and all that you love.

Been spending a bit of time on the Android market, have we?

What was the name?

instead of...

What is your name?

"We're reaching out to all our customers" - kin big arms!! 😯

"a heads up" up what, will it fit and if it gets stuck who's going to get it out?

Gargggghh!!!

I don't mind bidon. It's succinct, short and much better than "a bottle designed to fit a carried on a bicycle".

"Are you with me?"

No, because you have no idea how to explain anything to another person 😈

People that say "Boils my pi$$" is worse

All of the above and "Brillogs"
I have a customer who just loves saying brillogs in every sentence...****

Brillogs

The word "drawing" pronounced "drawring" = knitting needle in eye socket.
"Speaking personally, I think......." No, no you don't think. You are an amoeba.

People who say "y'know", y'know, in every sentence. It, y'know, makes you sound like a ****, y'know? I now can't help myself counting every time someone says "y'know" on tv / phone calls / etc 😐

People who say "rail" or "berm", and if someone says both it makes me die a little inside. And, people who use an upwards inflection at the end of every sentence? Y'know? Should be shot?

I have always preferred "Thank you kindly". Makes me feel like a cowboy.

Hate: People who say "Different tact". It's tack! But also, is exclusively used by people who don't have any tact, let alone multiple different tactful approaches which they can switch between.

Guy I work with always refers to his house as "I have a "property" adjacent to the wilderness area" ---no Robert, you have a fffing house like everyone else on your street.

People who use 'was' when they mean 'were' or use the word 'Hun' as a term of endearment will be the first to the wall in Howard's Britain.

Prostrate cancer........................

People who say I had my dog/cat "spaded"

Kids at school who say 'jamped' - as in past tense of 'jump'.

another one--people who say "orientated" when they mean "oriented"

'Curriculum for Excellence'.

Nuke from orbit and a return to 'O' Grades, please.

what I say mostly is err, dunno like, y'know, I was like, naaaaaaah, innit though.. I get so sick of myself that I have to throw a comic Blaaaaaaad on the end of the sentence occasionally just to let people know that I'm aware of my multiple speech disorders..

for what it's worth, I think that I'd rather speak to someone with a lot of irritating linguistic tics and something funny or interesting to say than someone who says naff all worth hearing with perfect diction and impeccable vocabulary

Need a deciding vote...

'Hell yeah!'

'Hell's yeah!' Shut it, you're from Dundee, not Austin,Texas.

'I chit you not, it really happened'

'I so want one of those'

I used to quite like my sister in law. She's nice. Attractive, Intelligent and funny.

Until..... About two years ago we were out for a family meal. I asked everybody what they would like to drink.

"Can I Get a Vodka Tonic?"

AAAARRRGHHH.

Some very unique points have been made on this thread. Chapeau to you all, even those of you who only made slightly unique contributions.

Surveilled, usually by American types. I think you mean watched. Pass me my assault weapon and safety to full auto.

When in the States, I always find "momentarily" confusing - if you mean "soon" then say so.

Meanwhile, ken, some bits of Scotland, ken, have inhabitants, ken, that put "ken" several times in every sentence, ye ken?

More progressive areas do the same with ****iinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. I heard an entire sentence that was just that one word, stretched out to be about 40 seconds long, and his mates seemed to take great meaning from it.

Supernanny; "... it's just not asseptable behaviour"

DIE, SUPERNANNY DIE!

Someone must have corrected her as she didn't mispronounce it in the last series.

And +1 for 'yourself' and 'myself' used as, "Well in regards to yourself, we've decided to make an exception"

assault Weapon

its a ****ing gun

One of supervisors (as in not quite my actual boss) frequently employs the phrase "it is what it is". 👿

Bloke in front of me in Subway: "[i]Can I get a 6" tuna?[/i]". I was really disappointed not to hear: "[i]You stay where you are, mate! - I'm the one making the subs here[/i]".

Put him in the sub oven!

I interviewed someone for a position as a 3D artist at our company recently. With a straight face, the candidate turned to me and asked: "[i]So...what software are you [b]rocking[/b] here?[/i]"

...Had me reaching for the button that drops them into the shark tank.

"At the end of the day, it is what it is and it does what it says on the tin"

"I could care less"

When American types express a low level of attention for a given situation, they tend to say 'I could care less'...

Now, this strikes me as wrong. COULDN'T care less is right...no?

EDIT: right above me, the same 😀

Some people on here need to lay off the caffeine and and get more sleep. 😆

COULDN'T care less is right...no?

Couldn't care less is right,[b] isn't it[/b]?

Those who live by the sword. 😉

I have noticed an increasing number of ladies employing the term "Bless you" when what they actually mean is "thank you"...

HAVE YOU BEEN F***ING ORDAINED???? NO??!!! Right, under the patio for you.

Friend of my wife says 'Bless you' all the time.

As in;

Me. "here's some cake"
Her. "Oh Bless you"
Me "er...ok"

She also calls me Boy, as a term of endearment;

Her. "Hello Boy"
Me "**** off"*

*I say this in my head.

The word "drawing" pronounced "drawring" = knitting needle in eye socket.

[url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linking_and_intrusive_R ]I think you mind find that Intrusive R to be an established part of English english[/url]

Now, this strikes me as wrong. COULDN'T care less is right...no?

Unnecessary addition of "...no?" at the end of a statement (often instead of "isn't it?") to signify a question. ****ing hate that stupid americanism or wherever it originated from 👿

My wife's American and her family use "could care less" and while it doesn't annoy me much, certainly not in the way "going forward" does, it's just completely and utterly wrong. If you could care less then you care a certain amount, which is not what you're trying to say. How did an entire nation of many hundreds of millions end up using this?

I [i]could [/i]care less, but I can't be arsed

Almost all of the above cause me some discomfort, but "right now" is very irritating: "I'm so happy right now." And what about right now? And now? And now?

"Cheap at half the price" is another bastardisation of a phrase as well.

"Isn't it fun" or " Oh I think that's really fun" when someone is referring to an object. No you ****wit its a manky old eggcup and not fun in any way.
Too much daytime tv antique shows I guess...

In the same vein the word sweet when used about a person or object, especially when the s becomes a Z...."It's so zzzweeeet"....arghh

I get annoyed with people that use "I" every time they describe something that they did with someone else, just so they don't sound common. Even the times when they should be using "me".

e.g. "Jedi showed my freind and I how to ride a bike."

Worse still "Jedi moved my freind and I's brake levers."

Use of the word text when it's in the past tense.

"I text him last night"

It's texted, you moron.

This one's probably just me, but the BBC really annoy me by referring to "President Obama". He's [b]US[/b] President. I don't have, and don't want a president.

freind

Irony 😉

I before e except after c, unless you're weird.

🙁

Wasn't calling you weird, by the way, that was a pun. A bad one...

Aah, I see what you mean. Very good.

You lot are funny getting het* up about this stuff

Mind you I do find "arks" pretty annoying but thankfully I only hear it when the TV strays to BBC3, whose programs appear to be primarily shaky homemade footage filmed by londoners.

People that say "Boils my pi$$" is worse

*wonders if that'll trigger owt

i before e except after Old Macdonald had a farm.

(OK, I goodle'd all the exceptions to this rule)

according to QI

Are we doing nouns as verbs yet ?

You don't text somebody, you send them a text message. If you accept text as a verb, then you can't really moan about the past tense...

I'll throw in "networking", the initial mutation that lead to that plague.

I don't hear it often thankfully, but when someone asks me to 'action' something, my eye starts twitching.
