Yes, I particularly dislike the collective of "guys". Especially when girls (normally american) refer to a female group as "Hey, Guys..." Really grates. And then the "gangsta" talk of caucasian people speaking like a non-caucasian drug dealer.. "oh man, I aks you, dat is siiick..." just annoying And all of the above posts!! Signed - an intolerant git.
‘Not even kidding’. I didn’t think you was. Even if I cared (which I don’t) I have no reason to disbelieve you. Like. Sorry for the thread revival by the way!
Buddy - Yank wank Team (in a work setting) as in 'Team, today we are looking at...' (Bullshit Bingo Hall of Fame) I'm liking/I'm loving - more Yank wank, a virus spread by TV series Friends, apparently Bad Boy - used by schoolboys overdosing on glee when describing some item causing the excitement
Yes Yellow, this is SO very annoying! I know its allowed nowadays but its original intention was to be used elsewhere in a sentence. It sounds so wrong when it is used in answer to someones question.....instead of beginning with ' It is' or 'its' , even 'Well', beginning with 'So' sounds kind of pompous to me....'so' is like 'therefore' but you wouldn't normally start a sentence with it. Interestingly, the place I have noticed it the most is on Melvin Bragg's excellent 'In Our Time' programme on Radio 4.....invited academics often use it and it really grates on me...its the younger contributors who do it the most I have noticed. Im not a pedant but merely in de pendant.....
