Terms that get bandied about willy-nilly

[steve98]

"... O wait".

[Kryton]

I assume burning your biscuits is slang for something.

[Depressed Beyond Tables]

I believe it's called 'branding'.

[lebowskibukowski]

"National Treasure". Normally OK with your big hitters, Attenborough, Fry etc, but then you see it attached to the likes of Terry Christian and Todd Carty. I used to associate it with 'elder statesmen, soon to be dead', but now it is flung at any fucker who has lasted to Blackpool week in Strictly

[Pdine]

"Orwellian nightmare".

[Fambo Number Mive]

"the internet does X" in response to a story, no matter how tedious.

"Donald Trump shouted poo and the internet was shocked".

[Drop Dead Fred]

"Speaking as a mum/taxpayer/lorry driver/parent/ex-cannon fodder/septic tank cleaner/flange inspector etc....."

[Clownbaby]

Articles and think pieces starting with "we need to talk about..."
Or "it's time we gave __________ a reappraisal"

Articles and think pieces starting with "we need to talk about..."
Or "it's time we gave __________ a reappraisal"

Oh, definitely. It's so patronising and typical of certain publications (The Guardian in particular).

[JesusAndYourBush]

"the internet does X" in response to a story, no matter how tedious.

Also Internet-related - "It's the thing that's sweeping the internet" - usually a full 2 pages of photos of something like "planking" or "cat breading" a couple of years after everyone else got bored of it.  Presumably a slow news day or 2 pages had to be replaced at short notice.

'Can I get...?'

Yeah, you can get.

TO FUCK.

[non capisco]

'Can I get...?'

Yeah, you can get.

TO FUCK.

In complete agreement. They all say 'Can I get...' now in London. And they don't just order everything in one sentence just so they can keep saying 'Can I get...' over and over again.

'Hi, mate, can I get a pint of Asahi? Cheers. Aaaaaaaaaand can I get a vodka and diet coke? Yeah, can I get a double? Aaaaaaaand can I get a pint of Neck Oil? Cheers, mate. Aaaaaaaaaand can I get another pint of Asahi?'

They're turning me into [banned troll], these young 'can I get' people.

[a duncandisorderly]

I'm not going to be doing this sort of thing any more.

[jobotic]

Agree with Can I Get?

Also "I'm good" as a response to "How are you?". "I'm okay/well/fucking miserable thanks" is the right response. I didn't ask how you've been behaving.

[Ferris]

I say "can I get" because I'm North American. I'm going to do it more in the UK now I know it irritates people.

[kittens]

i say it, nothing wrong with it. i also call the pavement the sidewalk and the bin the garbage can because i know it winds people up for some reason

[pancreas]

i say it, nothing wrong with it. i also call the pavement the sidewalk and the bin the garbage can because i know it winds people up for some reason

If you do that around me, I'll cut your spine out.

[gmoney]

"Busy night?"

"Anywhere you can stop here mate"

[Pingers]

I say "can I get" because I'm North American. I'm going to do it more in the UK now I know it irritates people.

I've alerted border control pal, so dream on.

[Twed]

I say "can I get" because I'm North American. I'm going to do it more in the UK now I know it irritates people.

I like the more firm "I'll get". It isn't a question. I will get a sausage roll.

[Sony Walkman Prophecies]

'Can I get...?'

Yeah, you can get.

TO FUCK.

That's become so prevalent now that I feel like I'm being wilfully contrarian by going up to the barista with a traditional "Can I have?" I'm Jacob Rees-Mogg and I'm holding the whole cafe hostage with my properly deployed grammar.

[garnish]

"the internet does X" in response to a story, no matter how tedious.

"Donald Trump shouted poo and the internet was shocked".

Followed by screenshots of cunt from Twitter making a shit joke about the news in a recycled meme format.

[garnish]

"Busy night?"

"Anywhere you can stop here mate"

We do this to recognise our embarrassment of employing a luxury service like a taxi, instead of public transport or just not going out boozing in town.

BANKS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THESE AMAZING CHECK PPI TIPS:


"Piss off".

Twitter keeps sending me emails of news stories... only when I click the link it's a news story told in the form of tweets.  Occasionally it's a story I'm interested in and yet the way it's laid out it tells me nothing so I have to Google the story and read it on a proper news site.  Annoying.

Rags like the metro write articles like that, whereas the beeb seem to fluff it out a bit with an editorial that feels like it's explaining twitter to someone's nan in a nursing home.

[Bogbrainedmurphy]

Twitter is bad for words or turns of phrase that get rinsed for ages...

"Ya" instead of "your", "Unreal", "Announce"...

[Dr Rock]

All politicians: 'I've been quite clear that...' or 'Mrs May has been quite clear...' etc. And obviously it's usually a lie, they have not been quite clear at all. Once you notice it it drives you mental.

[Isnt Anything]

That's become so prevalent now that I feel like I'm being wilfully contrarian by going up to the barista with a traditional "Can I have?" I'm Jacob Rees-Mogg and I'm holding the whole cafe hostage with my properly deployed grammar.

'May I have?'

[NoSleep]

"The MSM"

The MSM bandy tons of shit on a daily basis (nothing willy-nilly about it), so it's fair dos to mention it quite regularly (as it's technically not shit just happening).
