“Can I get” needs to fk off sharpish. Why the sudden need to out-cool your mates with the latest spazzy phrase that you think makes you look cool and shoreditchy cos you heard it on some properly unfunny US comedy!! Makes me sick.

Can I get is hardly latest. People were using that when I was at uni 25 years ago

Just saw an epsiode of "Taggart" from 1987 with the immortal line "Can I get a cheeseburger". For completeness, he then complained about the size of the cheese slice, slammed the burger on the counter of the burger van and stormed off to innapropriate saxophone and electric guitar music.

Run.

For instance I've read on theses very pages-
"I used to run a Panny..." referring to a TV.
" I ran a number plate..." how do you run an number plate?
" It was running 320 bhp..." what's wrong with producing?


People who try to sound cool always end up sounding like pricks.

"Gotten" and other American imports.
"Crisis" - everything is a crisis so in reality nothing is.
"Racist" - as above
"Hard working families" - my daughter is 6. She never helps.
"Ordinary people" - unlike our extraordinary politicians
"Task force" - pretending to do something about something because people keep moaning about it.
"Czar" - politician getting someone who has nothing better to do to do something no one else could be arsed to do that doesn't need doing.

[HustleRussell]

Crashstappen
Shamilton
Lew lew

...etc etc...

Attempting to 'humourously' misname somebody is not always hilarious, and even if it is witty it is rarely funny more than once.

Pistonheads, F1 twitter etc is awash with people who continue to use these. Not only is it bloody infantile, none of the nicknames even seem to be particularly apt anymore. Just an unpleasant hangover from the dissatisfying finish to the 2021 F1 season which causes me to question the quality of the growing F1 fanbase.

People who "share with you" rather than "said" or "saying" etc, ie. "Mike shared that his team was prepared to help"

And people who are "excited for" rather than "excited about"

tw*ts

'Gotten' is a throwback to Elizabethan (the first) English and went over to America with the Pilgrim Fathers. It lives on in modern English with '...ill gotten gains...'
Admittedly using it in any other context is 'pretend American' and should be deprecated. But it is merely one of so many that life is too short to enumerate them.

“Mmm that certainly ticks a lot of boxes”
This means : You have met my criteria in every imaginable way and we’ll within budget, but I am leaving now anyway.
“Mmm that is definitely food for thought”
This means : exactly the effing same as the above.

I think he’s ‘fuming’

Everyone seems to be ‘fuming’ about something these days, although largely as a result of their own fkwittery.
