"Simples". Taken from that fking stupid Meerkat advert I believe. Is it ok to mock an Eastern European accent but not ok to mock an Indian one? I thought all that sh1t was out as being a bit racist these days.
also what is it with posh bints who refer to fellow girls as 'guys'??...in chiswick last week n one ambled up to her mates in the bar with ...' hey you guys'??
this is a clear case of shit cu ntery most foul, and should be dealt by way of a mad frankie fraser dentistry session on the defendant with b&q value pliers toot sweet.
'guys'
arggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
" I guess in four or five years, the new generation's music will be .. electronics, tapes. I can kind of envision .. maybe one person .. with a lot of machines, tapes, and electronics setups, singin or speaking .. and using machines " James Douglas Morrison | 1969

"Can I get" (n/t) on 19:16 - Jul 31 with 1166 views
Affected misuse of the richest language used today that somehow the user feels establishes a feeling of equality! It actually establishes the fact that the user is totally insensitive to the aged process of manners. It's a huge insult to a skilled barista, chef, sommelier to suggest that you should "get"! Nope! You can't! Buy it! And show some respect for those people you buy stuff from! Get Polite you lazy,thoughtless, fashionista! Fxck Off! Get yourself! Or pay me and I'll "get" it! People who use this phrase label themselves as "Knobs" Please may I! Thank you! Universally accepted access to service or goods! Careless, Lazy, Insulting use of a great language!
I had to attend a seminar a few years ago hosted by an American company. I lost count of the amount of times i had to read and listen to sentences with the word 'gotten' in it(not innit)
I deal with quite a few Asian folk who use the phrase isn,t it at the end of every sentence
This one one is everywhere in Oz. Saying "invite" when they mean "invitation". Had enough recently when the MD's secretary misused it to all our clients regarding a function so I sent out an email to the whole office reminding them that "invite" is a verb.
Cue blank faces and whispers of pedant. Rather be a pedant than an ignoramus.
But your possibly erroneous assumption is that everyone on here is in England, when that doesnt seem to be so.
As for Kicks, well I'd direct you towards the Undertones "Teenage Kicks" released in 1978 to identify the expression as well based in British culture for over 35 years. One could also draw an assumption that the expression was in wider use before that time for it to be picked up then.
I am also taking an inference from your recent posts that it is the summer holidays for school children.
The term 'kicks' was indeed in use long before that merry band from Derry used it. Think 'Get Your Kicks on Route 66' by Nat King Cole or Chuck Berry in the 50's. The word also appears in many old blues and jazz numbers.
Some of the terms mentioned on this thread are indeed stupid. What really annoys me more is people trying to speak all 'urban', white people trying to sound like black people and worse still, all these inane modern terms for job descriptions or titles. Why is everyone a bloody consultant these days? Even bin men are waste consultants these days. Madness, utter madness.
Others I hate are the over-use and inappropriae use of the word 'like' as in 'I was like...'
Also 'literally' and 'absolutely'.
'Nothink' and 'loose' instead of lose.
Grrr
Literally is the one that annoys me. It literally doesn't make me explode with rage.
I've been in the US a while now and unfortunately have started using some of these, including "can I get" which I know it's wrong, but I'm too lazy to have the argument or have to repeat myself every time.
I`m not one to drone on about this sort of thing,but one error that seems very common and irritates me is confusing "disinterested" and "uninterested", as the meanings are totally different. A referee or judge is meant to be disinterested (i.e neural,with no personal interest). Yet people use that word to mean bored, which is "uninterested".
Clearly in a minority on this board but language evolves, moreover it evolves pretty quickly. If you read (or should that be 'if one reads') literature from previous centuries or watch pathe news reels from as recently as the 1930's no one speaks like that any more. When enough people start using a word or phrase for long enough it 'becomes' correct. My Mum always said 'ain't, ain't in the dictionary', erm yes it is.

"Can you lend me sixpence"?
"Yes but I'm not going to"
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Exactly. And the invention of new words or phrases for things when there is already a perfectly acceptable one available. "Issue" - it's a problem. "We need to talk around this issue" - We need to speak about this problem. Sickening. And WTF are "stakeholders"?

A consultant is someone who knows 500 woman but hasn't slept with any of them.

I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool.
