I blame Buffy.
Aw look, you've like, never mentioned it before, yeah?
Absolutely!
It destroys my will to live at times.
Was on a long call today with some guys from San Diego and two girls from London. All had the dreaded problem. The whole call was continually going up and up and up. Once you've noticed it it only gets worse

A lass at work has the worst example I've ever heard and she also adds a Canadian style "eey" to the end of sentences. It's a terrible affliction, euthanasia may be the only option.
And then? one time? at band camp?
It literally does my head in.
It's not even like the wierd outbreak of Antipodeanism we had a few years ago (rising tone/question at the end of a sentence). This latest outbreak has a wierd cadence to it that I can't get to the bottom of and why o why o why do teenage girls all now talk like they've been smoking 40 Park Drive for the past 20 years? Hmmm? Hmmm? Grrr.
Lark, wtf iz u on abart OP? Me finks da inflezshun iz a good fing innit! 👿
Argh, and it makes people put question marks at the end of sentences WHICH AREN'T QUESTIONS, YOU MOTHERS 😡
I take it the offenders weren't asking questions? I can live with this more than 'know what I mean', 'innit' or similar. Increasing numbers of sportsmen when interviewed starting each answer with 'Look......'. GGgggrrrrrr
I've notice a lot of people saying "no, no... Yeah" or "yeah-no" all the time!
vickypea - look, see, they's politicians not peoples know wot I mean innit (said with rising inflection obviously) 😉
Deepreddave- yeah, no I see what ya mean!
Is this what's known as the moronic interrogative?
And so many sentences seem to start with 'So' these days...?
Flashy, were you by any chance listening to Radio 2 earlier this evening? Possibly Jo Whiley and her guest whose EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE finished with an inflection?
^^THIS!!!!^^
I was driving a hire van up the A1 tonight when that came on and couldn't figure out how to work the radio, was tempted to pile into the side of a bridge abutment to end it all.
Pizza resturant waitress in Denver did this. A lot.
However, she was extremely tasty./
However, she was extremely tasty.
You can forgive an awful lot for much hotness and debatable morals
So does Arlissa qualify for an exemption?

Actually used incorrectly, for example "I was ACTUALLY so drunk at the weekend"
Piss boiling
My scale of annoyingness:
People who are so inarticulate that they express everything by starting: "I was, like...."
The Atipodean rising inflection.
People who drop their Ts.
People who don't say "mother or father or brother" but say "muvvah or farvah or bruvvah".
Grrrrr!
I happened to suggest to senorita j t'other day that she had started to adopt that inflection occasionally.
Still on the sofa. 🙁
massive over exaggeration boils my urine also.
"Like ,wow , my cup of tea tastes , like, absolutely amazing"
"Old people upset about new turn in the evolution of their language shocka!"
Things change, get me?
I've notice a lot of people saying "no, no... Yeah" or "yeah-no" all the time!
Ah, the Dibley paradox.
That's particularly common in South Africa for some reason; people will say "Yeh, no, well, look man..."
All of that is trumped by 'banter'.
It's not banter it's you talking absolute horse cock.
Dwayne Dibbley?

I really hate people who don't like regional accents.
meh, get over it, hey.
I like banter and pi$$ taking. If it's done we'll, it can be quite clever and articulate. Talking like every other moron isn't.
I'm not talking like every other moron!!!
THEY are talking like ME!
👿
I'd like to know the point at which banter became dull people calling each other See You Next Tuesdays.
People who drop their Ts.People who don't say "mother or father or brother" but say "muvvah or farvah or bruvvah".

That's not a regional accent, it's a fad and you hear it all over Britain, I think it comes from those hip-hop chappies.
