Politicians - normally leftie ones - everywhere these days saying, 'there is a disconnect' when they want to slate the opposition.
Really? 'Disconnect' is a noun is it? Utter f
ktards are increasingly using this expression to try to appear intelligent and (forgive me for this) 'on message'.
Yes, people do feel disconnected from <whatever bullst you are whining on about> but there is no such thing as a disconnect. Pricks.

I witnessed somebody use the word "Fall" to refer to the word "Autumn" recently, in the context of release dates for films/games. This person was born in Britain and raised in Birmingham.
to be fair to that person it is a 17th century english word that was taken to the new world. It's just we stopped using it. maybe in the midlands they do, (some of it is a bit old fashioned).the ones that rub me the wrong way are.....

"Hubby" ?
This, marks women who use it out as harridans & men who tolerate it as emasculated man- children.'Lol'.
So you're laughing out loud at that predictable and unfunny response you've just written to your mate? Really?
I've seen threads on Facebook where 'lol' makes an appearance in every reply. fk off!
I'm sure that the people who use it think that it makes them look more interesting/funny/popular, I don't know.
To me, it's British laziness at its very worst.
Oh, and (as mentioned earlier in the thread) "Can I get some fries with that?" Comes a close 2nd. Usually heard in a fast food place in Birmingham.

In my line of work, an email rounded off with "Let's discuss".
Which means "Call me please. When you do, I expect you to be able to guess what questions I have thought of without me saying a word, and then give me the answers to them. I know it would be more straightforward for me to tell you what my questions are, but I'm far too lazy to do that".

Someone has already beat me to it with "for sure" - popular amongst most of the F1 drivers (or community, which I'm coming to), but also "community" not just when referring to "the community", but also when referencing collective groups - the fishing community, the one legged lesbian frisbee throwing community etc etc. And of course the golden one of all ......
You know! FFS no I don't know! Particularly popular with the less articulate in general, and especially the inarticulate on Today!
Rant over. Thank you.
