As well as agreeing with all the above (blimey I really am grumpy these days) any reference to something being "24/7" reallys gets me going. Especially when what they really mean is just 'most of the time'.0

9/11. Do they mean the 11th of September?0

My brother has a t-shirt that says "9/11 is a f***ing Porsche" on it. He wore it to work on dress-down Friday... whilst he was working for Morgan Stanley. THAT didn't go down too well...[cite]Posted By: Stig[/cite]9/11. Do they mean the 11th of September?0 -
Nice one Leroy.0

Now, I know I don't talk like most of you, but I can't stand the following Americanisms:
Nitch instead of neesh
EyeRack instead of Irrrraq
MossCow instead of Mosco
Progg-ress instead of PROgress0 -
You guys.
I hate that phrase with a passion, but unfortunately having lived over here for the best part of 3 years I find myself using it. I also occasionally say
pavement when I mean road
sidewalk when i mean pavement
arugula when i mean rocket/roquette
bayzil when i mean basil
orig eno when i mean oregano
cilantro when i mean corriander
soccer when i mean football
There are tons of them & they slip into your vocabulary, but if anyone here's me saying these when i am back in September please shoot me.0 -

Hardly surprising really, no matter the terminology it was a horrific event.0 -
The antipodean propensity to end every verbal sentence with a heightening of tone as if it were a question, when in fact it is a statement,. Further to this the fact that this is creeping into English culture particularly amongst the younger generation, including my son0

i do that so that if some fat person comes and sits next to me, rather than being squashed against the side of the train/bus and the fat person you have some space one side of you to breath out, hope this helps0 -

Oh Dan, no-one hugged you lately then mate... LOL0 -
People who tut on trains or buses, when you ask them to move their bags or coat etc so you can sit down when there are no seats left otherwise, ignorant, rude feckers who deserve a slap and some lessons in manners.0

My customers, 80-90% of them are chavvy, thick, ignorant cretins.
Hey but its a job, and my wonderful customer service skills come into play every minute of every day.0 -
people sitting next to the window on the bus or train that when getting up to get off they just pick their stuff up and get up and nudge you rather than saying "excuse me please"0

Yes, yes, yes...that is second on my list but fast becoming my first since my eldest started doing it.[The antipodean propensity to end every verbal sentence with a heightening of tone as if it were a question, when in fact it is a statement,.

It's been driving me mad for years...my neice & nephew started doing it in their late teens then their effing mother started doing it too!!!!!0 -
When all the seats are taken on trains those idiots who insist on standing near the doors meaning any new passengers have to 'fight' there way on.0
-
Yakeeisms - Refering to street names without adding "Street" "Road" "Avenue" etc. Also hate Uptown and Downtown - never understood them
Chavisms - people who think that it is somehow acceptable to put their feet on the seats when on public transport.0 -
Why should they say 'excuse me please' if you are so blinkered that you have not noticed them getting ready to go?? winds me up all the time.0
