Youri McAnespie Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I've just literally started this topic because I'm wondering if the moronic overuse of this word is limited to the circle of morons around me? If you're over twenty and say this word more than say, once a day, you're literally a fuckwit. It doesn't lend gravitas nor an air of learning to any statement, so stoppit.

Leyther_Matt Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Think it was so rife that they redefined if in the dictionary relatively recently. Literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 What's the added definition? 'A word used by thick fucking bellends to try and sound clevererer'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salford Trotter Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) My kids use "if that makes sense" all the time and i just say "no it doesn't" it drives me potty Edited January 14, 2017 by Salford Trotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted January 14, 2017 Members Share Posted January 14, 2017 With you on this. Also the annoying fucking habit of starting responses with "Yeah, no" , or "So". Literally cringeworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 My current pet hate, literslly, is people saying "Can I get...." "Can I get a coffee please" Mrs Sweep is particularly bad for these, and doesn't see any fault in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Also the annoying fucking habit of starting responses with "Yeah, no" This really annoys, you hear it all the time on the radio now, especially when sports people are talking. Ray Parlour is the worst for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 14, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2017 Another pet hate is starting a sentence with the word OBVIOUSLY. I was always taught to start with the subject. This rule had fallen into disuse but it still irks me nonetheless. Also replacing the words who, which, etc. with THAT. It's possibly more a northern colloquialism but also irks. I dislike being irked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted January 14, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted January 14, 2017 The over use of the word 'like'. The yanks are the worst - it's sounds like a Vegas fruit machine. Like like like like like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was at it's worst a couple of years ago Used to drive me mad but it seems to be on the decrease with the younguns in my place I regularly use "can I get".

Marc505 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Someone squeezing as many "yeah's" as possible into a couple of seconds to agree with someone. "Is that yours mate?" "Yehyehyehyehyehyehyeh" Just chill out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madthatter Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I literally noticed it a few years ago, Jamie Oliver being the main offender. He literally fried the egg for a minute etc . . . If you watch Archer they figuratively take the piss out of it in the latter few series. Obviously like . . . my bad (Mr Koontz I hope that's jesting . . . and bye bye bye bye (or more accurately ba ba ba ba ba) . . . all get on my tats. Although me and the Mrs sometimes end phone calls in this manner - its our little lovers in joke Awwww!

madthatter Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Haha Just learned a new one. Cheers Aye me too - it sounds very similar to the space docking manoeuvre that I also learned from this site. many thanks WWys I love the e.g. the urban dictionary gives . . . Shanya decided her vagina needed some lube so her boyfriend literally performed an alabama hot pocket. I don't know why but the name Shanya in that example makes me titter most Edited January 14, 2017 by madthatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
