Is it just me? or does anyone else feel irritated when you tell a friend or relative something, for example, “I nearly missed my flight after getting caught in traffic. It ended up such a rush at the airport & the reply is “What a shame” or if texting similar, getting same reply, what a shame. Thats just an example ?
My husband's stock answer to everything is “really.” “Your tea is poured.” “Really” “Your mum is on the phone.” “Really.” “I just fell down the stairs and broke my left arm.” “Really.” “No, not really but even if I had I’m not really sure really is an appropriate reply.” It drives me mad!
The best I heard of was a 'manager' sending an Email to his 'team' suggesting that they should "Get their dicks in a row". Sometimes a typing error can turn the most irritating phrase into something wonderful.

Just a selection of replies to my texts from Dgd's, I've noticed that they and their friends make long "ayyyy" and "ahhh" sounds to the ends of their words when speaking and also say Yeye, not yes. So I suppose us saying Rightyho, is not too bad really.
"Run it up the flag pole, and see what way the wind is blowing." "Smile in may never happen." ( maybe it already has). "Play date." (As in when children are going to their friends play).
