'Like' in the adjunct sense, were it's just plastered into a sentence for no reason whatsoever

 

Example - "I like went to the cinema to see that Batman it was like decent, but i was like not that arsed about it"

I can never understand the American urge to use the word "ass" for emphasis.

 

I saw a photo on Facebook with an American caption "Look at these weird ass fucking cats" and I was confused for a short while.

British people who use baseball terms like Curve ball, Rain check and Close of play

Especially when they use them incorrectly. I saw a meme on Facebook in praise of stepfathers, describing them as men who who not only step up to the plate, but eat everything on it.

People in work have started referring to meetings as "huddles".

We've been infected with 'agile' methodology (or ideology, really). So we have stand-ups, scrums, scrum of scrums, scrum retros and worst of all, 'Three Amigos'. All of them seem to be meetings for their own sake and largely consist of arguments about the best way to work, rather than actually fucking doing anything worthwhile in the first place. I'm convinced this bullshit is so contractors can spin out and lengthen their contracts while trolling everyone with stupid names.

Fuck off.

I’ve noticed this has suddenly become ubiquitous and it annoys me: gotten.

 

What is wrong with just the word ‘got’.

 

He’s gotten over it. Piss off. Not having it.

 

My boss also says “we have to be cognisant of…” which is because of working with too many of our American clients, I think. That can be chopped into a million pieces and thrown in the bin too.

 

@Carradona that was all typed out with a brummie accent, by the way.

Gotten is fuckin terrible.

Mandela is a legend, King Kenny is a legend.

Your mate making a passable attempt at farting La Marseillaise when he's pissed, doesn't make him a legend.

Using “Lad” to address a person - a friend or relative - is fine. Using it every other word isn’t. “Lid” just sounds daft.

That's one I've noticed recently on Irish sports radio. Along with "the GOAT". Also an obvious Americanism. And fucking annoying.

Sorry, reminded me of the above somehow.

Hard to explain this but people who say ok where it doesn’t normally fit when your’re having a conversation with them.

My ex used to ask me to do this and then if I hadn't done it within 5 seconds of her asking she'd get annoyed and say forget it I'll just do it myself then!

Result!
