Why do people say at the bar, 'Can I get?', when asking for a drink.
STOP SAYING IT YOU IDIOTS!!!

"Can I give you a tickle" when they get you a drink. Or an Australian expression "Your testicles have dropped so i suppose you want a drink?"

People who say "I'm liking (so and so)".....instead of "I like (whatever it is)" Far too much of it happening on telly and, just lately, in real life. |

"Bend over as I want to see if the sun is still shinning". What the hell is that supposed to mean? The only befit I can see for that phrase if a doctor said it. To check if the rim has been polished

When newspapers add 'gate' to the end of every blasted word, to give an apparent scandal a name. For example, Queens-gate or Camilla-gate.
One day, I swear we're going to end up with a 'gate-gate.' (i.e. a major national scandel involving a member of the royal family and some errant gates) |

Yep, this is probably the phrase that I hate the most at the moment. My daughter is always saying "You're doin my ed in" I absolutely hate it and she knows it. She is now teaching it to my 3yr old and that REALLY, REALLY irritates me. I have always brought my children up with values and to speak the Queen's English the way it is supposed to be spoken. Hate chav-talk and whining American children's TV!

What I find really irritating is not so much the phrase, as when the voice goes up at the end of a statement as though they are asking a question.
Yes, I do find that irritating? |

'EARLY DOORS' ......what does that MEAN!? It's a phrase that seems to be soley used by football professionals, commentators and would-be football followers to describe every event before, during and after a match
And 'The Gaffer' (football manager).... Especially when one of the many Johnny Foreigner types playing in the premiership use it when being interviewed... |

Especially when one of the many Johnny Foreigner types playing in the premiership use it when being interviewed... Here we go Spartacus, a little extra to feed your vast oracle-like knowledge base..... "Early doors is a British slang phrase meaning those who arrive earlier than is customary, particularly with regard to drinking in a pub. Until the law was changed in 1988 pubs in England closed in the afternoon (now most are open all day). Early Doors refers to customers who were waiting or arrived soon after the pub re-opened in the evening. An earlier use of the phrase (Edwardian) occurs in British theatres where a specific door, or set of doors, were opened early to allow a scramble for the "cheaper" unreserved space in the auditorium before the "more respectable" patrons arrived." I have to say I have been impressed with the content of some of your posts. As a Chav would say " Respect mate".  |
