My five year old son brings home books to read and we as parents have to write a comment in his reading record about his progress etc. In the book he brought home last night it contained the expression "can I get? ". Getting enshrined into English this!henrythecat said:People who use stupid americanisms such as "my bad" (my bad what? - makes no sense), or "do the math" (should have an 's', but annoying saying regardless), or say "can I get" instead of "may I have" when ordering food in cafes/coffee shops. Talk English that makes sense.
People in coffee shops. A list of annoyances too long to mention.
People serving in shops and cafes who greet you with "are you ok?" instead of "how can I help you" I'm obviously not "ok" if I am standing here waiting to be served, just ask me what I want rather than how I feel.
Commentators who say "saved by the post/bar/woodwork." No, that is a miss. The goal is the bit in the middle, anything outside is a failure to score. Idiots.
people in shops. (ditto, people in coffee shops)
Actually, when I think about it, it might be people in general that annoy me.1 -

When driving, I hear a car horn I brake and look round before realising it was sound effects for an advert on the radio.0

^^^ I had the Tom Waits' song Ol '55 playing in the car once which features a similar car horn sound effect. I honestly thought it was the fella behind me, so I wound down the window did the universal wanker sign and shouted at him to f*ck off. Bit embarrassing really.6

"My bad" is something that makes me cringe when I hear it. We have a woman at work who says it amongst other things. Another one of her favourites is "Happy Friday". Every time she says it I get the urge to stab her in the eye with a biro (harsh I know). But I do like the idea of screaming "happy EYEDAY" after doing it!0 -

'gotten' is a middle english word used by Shakespeare, Bacon and Pope, so in my mind, legitimate. It is still used in regional English. As a child in deepest Kent, where there were still people with a proper Kent accent, 'gotten' was regularly used.LawrieAbrahams said:"Gotten"

For quite a few weeks now I have been putting blocks on my mobile stopping these nuisance calls. I has been working, but today several of them have used whatsapp to get to me as notifications, apparently they have been urgently trying to contact me about an accident I haven't yet claimed for. Annoying little Bastards.0

I know. It has survived in America but largely been 'forgotten' over here. It is not the Queen's English to use it though, so it is still an Americanism.henrythecat said:

Personally I love it, but I only ever use it when I've gotten all cantankerous.0 -
Wild song birds are far more indigenous than the domestic cat - take their teeth, claws and reproductive organs out at birth.WayneK said:
