Posh students always do it and interlace the words 'um' into the sentence. 

 

"Um, high, um can I get, um a flat white, um, to take out."

 

Why don't you take the cumquats out of your mouth and get to the fucking point, I've got to be somewhere next Thursday.

Amy and all of them, and would say thanks when I finished.

Greedy.

The use of the word "ass" to add emphasis can have unintended consequences.

You know what they say.  A Nitch in time...

The wife has just bought a niche for the wall in our new bathroom, so I am going to call it the nitch to wind her up.

See also... pronouncing "clique" as "click".

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Talking of "click", how the fuck is that a measure of distance?

Piss off you're about 57 don't be telling me your ankles and knees don't click when you walk. 

 

 

That "nitch" incident earlier really made my day worse. I already woke up in a bad mood. Almost up there with the "datar" fiasco from last year.

Fuck me. Even when they're using the metric system Americans pretend they're not.

Saying something has 'dropped'.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound?

If there’s a way of making something simple really complicated then the yanks can do it.

Tony and me have been complaining about that shit on the Adidas trainers thread for years.

 

Ridiculous covers it nicely.

Americans would say Tony and I...

 

Just sayin.
