I remember we had an American girl in our school and to try and blend in, she used British slang in an American accent:

 

"Hey, can I score a bifter off you, man?"

 

*shudders at the memory*

 

Hahahaha I know exactly what you mean.

 

A lad who went to our sixth form from the Phillipines, and lived in America, used to say the most bizarre funny things like "hey dude, can you lend me a one quid."

 

When I went to his house once, his mum offered me something to eat to which I politely declined. He came over and said to me "why didnt you say yes!?" I said "cos Ive had something", he said "youve offended my mom by rejecting our food." He was being totally serial aswell.

 

Needless to say, Ive not spoken to him much since then..

Anything that is simply out of context and used for effect (humour excepted) makes me cringe.

 

One thing I really can't stand is people being overly familiar with strangers. I haven't had it for years, but I hate being called "lad" by some scall in the street. Also, there's a new member of staff here who calles everyone "love". It does my head in.
