A couple of turbos 'strapped on'....

Did you know that STRAP ON is NO PARTS backwards ?

How did you figure that out? Don't say from playing Scrabble...

Years ago I was away for work and a colleague told me it - it had me in fits !

[Biker's Nemesis]

Don't know if these 2 have been mentioned... "licence plate and title/clean title".

'Dude" is another one that makes me think "wker" when mentioned.

[Penny Whistle]

"You're very welcome"

I'm not sure really why it grates. I guess I think either you're welcome or you're not. Maybe there really are degrees of welcomeness. Maybe the next time a neighbour pops round to ask to borrow my one remaining 10mm spanner, I'll just say "you're a bit welcome".

These are both perfectly valid American terms.

Guilty of that one

Not a word I really use in real life, just on here from time to time when the mood takes me.

Anyway (predictable response incoming)… sorry dude

Dude is not as annoying as "chap", "fella", "bro" or "bruh".

I agree, gotta maintain some sort of standard of decency. Dude is as low as I’ll go.

[Mr Penguin]

Over the last six months, the phrase "at the moment" seems to have been completely replaced by "right now" to the extent that I have to Google it to check I haven't made up "at the moment".

Not as bad as "from the get-go" which seems to have replaced "from the start". I presume another Americanism. hey ho.........

[snuffy]

"on a daily basis" when "daily" means the same thing.

Why use 1 word, when 3 looks more impressive ?

[Dal3D]

Tweets that finish with "that's it, that's the tweet"

Well obviously. No need to say that really was there?

[robsco]

People referring to cars being known for “eating” certain parts. It just annoys me, no idea why.

That's similar to when people start a reply with "I mean" and then go on to say something which didn't need the initial "I mean"

[redrabbit29]

I work with a guy that refers to me and some others as "Chap".

E.g.

"Hi Chap, I just sent you..."

I don't know why but I hate that expression
