Oh, and another one, I heard someone say 'drop me out' (more like 'drop me aaaaaaat') the other day too, which I hadn't heard for about 8 years. That's definitely an estuary thing, and it is awful :mad:
I've never liked Brit for British, as it's too like someone trying bravely to adopt an insulting nickname. It also seems like an embarrassed way of avoiding saying British (with a pronounced t), because that sounds too Rule Britannia Land of Hope and Gloryish and uncool these days. Saying Bri'ish is the other way people avoid this.
People who deliberately mispronounce word, pacific instead of specific. etc. I'm sat there like "sorry, what now?" :mad:
And any of the following; haters, reem, well jel, stunner, amaze,etc. Chav words THAT AREN'T EVEN REAL WORDS.
Babe and babes somehow make my skin crawl. You can call me sweetie or hun or pet just not f**k*ng Babes. I don't mind pet names to a point of "you alright babe," strikes as the creepy guy who would corner you.
Don't get me on to the tabloids... pretty much every phrase used in them "the sexy stunner sizzled" or "love rat" or "the model/actress/whatever" to describe some random. All the boys are "the *adjective* *job*" and the girls are *flattering word* *creepy word*
And then there's the whole Essex based lexicon - fella, geezer, princess, babes (used by a disturbing number of people when addressing a single individual) sweet as, etc
If it was all the same it would've become somewhat boring, also living life is more important than getting annoyed over new and old sayings from folk, I like to embrace different sayings or phrases that mean the same thing

In reply to the question "How are you?"- "Yes" (why yes?) "I'm good". Good at what ?
Slightly off topic but I was always taught to say "contribute" not "contribute". When did it change ?
There's no I in team
Both make me want to tell who ever has just said them to fu.ck off and die
No, but there's u in c*nt
LOL that shall henceforth be my first choice response:D:D
"Off an evening" There's someone at work who uses that and it makes me want to hit someone. The problem is I have no idea why.
Also "sweetie" but only when my sister says it. Again I have no idea why.
I cannot stand "and I'll tell you for why". You'll tell me why, sheesh!
Reach out
You know what I mean
Going forward (or any management speak term)

"Should of"
"Could of" (all three the marks of an idiot.)
"Played a blinder"
"Basically"
"Gate" when added to the end of any petty 'scandal'. Watergate was forty one years ago - turn the damn page.
"Vile"
"Sassy" = "loud and annoying".
"I'm not religious but I'm spiritual" = "I want to appear interesting and I'm making it up as I go along".
Also, "bubbly" = "loud and annoying and desperate for attention".
Basically, "I'm a plus-sized, sassy, bubbly, spiritual milf" = "I am your worst nightmare"
"The mess we're in."
"Hardworking, tax-paying families."
A few years back it was, "the credit crunch."
Oh, yes, anyone deploying the phrase "hard-working families" is in urgent need of a forceful punch to the crotch.

If you need me I'll be lying down somewhere.

I'd be happy to administer it.
"Love you" .... said by many who do not know that person and don't love them :mad: Do they know what love is .. I doubt it.
