I was just going to say the same thing !! i've noticed its younger people though that say it - i sometimes work behind a bar and a lot of people say it - its an "Americanism" isn't it... it really pees me off when they don't add please too its rude

Oh and "innit" - its isn't it not innit !!!!!

Another one is calling people "mate" - i'm not your mate so don't say it !

My son says ''no fair'' instead of what I think he should say is ''not fair''.

In fact I would rather he say neither lol

Hilarious thread!

1. ''Pacific, instead of specific''. That drives me insane.
2. ''What's your bandwidth?'' As in do you have time to do this. What!
2. ''Let's go pick some low hanging fruit''. I 'think' it means cease and opportunity.
3. ''Going forward'' - Gack!
4. ''Do you know what I mean?'' Usually I don't, no.
5. People who say foreign words in an English way - ''Reason detre'' Vs ''Raison D'etre'', ''Caf'' Vs ''Cafe'' etc.
5. Generally anyone who pronounce things incorrectly.

Good one mate

'Do you need a bag'

LOL - nahh, you'd not say that if you met him - he smoked a pipe in his twenties!!!

He doesn't use it in in that context though - he uses it when he is trying to describe someone who is fit (as in healthy) or somebody with muscle. He literally has made it up!!!

He he he!! Brilliant thread.

The one i really cant stand is

aks instead of ask...
I even heard it in a song on the music channels a few days ago!!!!! Grrrr drives me mad.

People who say they've been to see a Fillum is another - it's a FILM!!!!

When I lived in Grimsby a lot of people seemed to have the words Wary & Weary mixed up. I would often hear comments like "I'm really tired and Wary" - noooo - you mean Weary!!

Going to stop now - am at risk of sounding like my Mother!!!

Oooh, I love this thread but then I'm a grammar pedant! I was talking to someone last night about a dog with mange and she kept saying it was 'bold' instead of 'bald' - didn't quite have the same ring about it!

I also hate the upwards inflexion at the end of sentences - I think that came over with Neighbours!

Top of my hate list are 'should of' instead of 'should have', 'your' instead of 'you're' (but you can only tell that written down!) and 'less' instead of 'fewer'. I guess I'm showing my age here as I see these more and more often and they will probably end up as acceptable terms of speech.

Lol don't get a lot of them these days

Not heard many of these but they are hilarious and I might start using them to see what reaction I get

Me too.
I hate, your/you're. there/their, to/too/two, hear/here.
God I'm an old grump
