Grr Grr grr

It's the first time I've posted (I tried once before but couldn't get it to work). I agree with all the above and especially with acanthus about So...grrr. Has anyone else noticed disappearing t's in the middle or end of a word? In reply to "can I get a coffee?" I'd be strongly tempted to say yes help yourself

It's a fun thing to do!

We need a society to save the adjective, as well as one to save the adverb!

My pet hate are those car stickers "Princess on Board"....it came out of the serious sticker "child on Board" which was to alert emergency services in case of an accident, as small babies/young children usually end up in the well of the car! Most of the time there is nobody in the car apart from the driver...how stupid can people be!

MischEEEEvEEEEEous. Aaarrrgh!

Being told I am someone’s ‘lovely’, I smile through gritted teeth, the person doesn’t mean any harm, but as I get older it feels quite patronising.

Current irritations (although there are many..): People being interviewed on TV who begin their explanation of something with "So..." and the phrase widely used nowadays:
"D'you know what....."

Bluebelle I once cared for a labouring woman who's DH dared to say We decided we don't want pain relief, even though the poor woman was screaming out for it. Made my blood boil

Me "would you like a drink?" SiL, "Can I get a coffee?" Always makes me feel like I'm Starbucks!

Iya, yar right? Instead of "Hello, are you alright?". If my hairdresser says this Just. One. More. Time.......

Sorry for ranting haha

Yes harrigran!!! Spot on . My DSIL says it to my DGS who's 6. Can't bear it.

I was shopping not an hour ago and heard " come on baby girl " to a toddler. Didn't she have a name then ?

Come on mate, father to 6 year old. He is not your mate he is your child.

I hate the car signs saying it though . Stupid.

All little girls are princesses I don't know about princes.

Myself hates 'my little princess'. There's even a shop not too far from here selling clothes for 'Little Princes and Princesses'. Yuk.

I don't mind "hey you guys...." - In that respect, I never quite left 1967 so I'm easy with it.
as for 'yourself' - I worked in a firm where all the directors were Irish and everyone was referred to as 'yourself', eg 'I've got the kettle on, what will it be for yourself". Loved it.

I live in the north west where "going t'town" etc is common place. I don't say it, my mother would have shot me but I hear it all the time.

Mind you - I get wound up when I hear newsreaders/interviewees talking about how they "crated" something. ie how they created something.

Oh me myself does too Jalimal

What do you Fink? ?hate that one

I like that song!

That's put me in mind of a Joan Armatrading song " Me Myself I " haha

'Come on you guys' - when it's a five year old DGD I don't mind at all!

Yourself, instead of you. Myself, instead of me. Both irritate the hell out of me. Always youngsters who use it too. Why?

* vampirequeen* 'guys' irritates me too. What did we say before? Has it replaced 'folks', which always sounds a bit self-conscious.

Nonnie I am willing to give it a try. Just for the pleasure of doing so. ?
