So fun

Yes I agree, Jane10 - it seems to be the automatic catch-all response to any kind of request, complaint or simple comment by a customer in many shops these days.

Wonderful Ashtree!

I don't particularly like 'No problem'. I feel the urge to list a few.

On the other hand I quite like the antipodian 'No worries'. It has a light hearted easy going feel.

Oh Ashtree, I've had the same conversation It was with someone whose first language was something other than English although his English was good. I carried on for as long as I could but he ended the conversation saying "madam, you are a very confused lady".

Gracesgran

or being told at the checkout "see you later". Really? from someone who looks about 16. Maybe that's a 'down south' habit?

I've lived in Scotland most of my life but have never heard 'that ones'.

I use 'no worries' when texting.

mcem, you'll hear it a lot in the Highlands, particularly Inverness

Have a good one. Answer from me - a good what?

How good is that? Answer from me I don't know how good is it?

A just in case I haven't mentioned it before - I AM NOT A GUY!

'Enjoy', used intransitively. 'Enjoy yourself', 'enjoy your meal', but don't simply 'enjoy'.

'Up' or 'Upped' instead of increase/ increased is my pet hate. Even politicians have succumbed to this one. Grrr.

Awesome.

"Yeah, but no", I hate that one and the one that really sets me off is"simples". Arrrrrrgh!

Phoenix, I too am getting "likephobia". It's just about bearable when coming from inarticulate teenagers, but when over-30s use it, I want to scream. It is usually a substitute for a verb: she was like, I was like=she said, I replied...My daughter sometimes does it and I say to her "you're too old for teen-speak". I guess it could be worse - at least she uses correct grammar.

(I have found my home on gransnet: "pedants' corner"!)

My husband shouts at the TV every time somone says 'absolutely' as an affirmative response to a question. It didn't really bother me - but his incessant comments drive me potty to the extent that I dread hearing the word said because I then have to listen to his tirade!

Politicians should stop saying "absolutely clear" as in "David Cameron has made it absolutely clear that....." - part stalling tactics because they can't answer the question and part ingratiating themselves with the boss.

Another favourite of their's is "moving forward" when they could just say "in future".

Or "rolling out" when they mean some policy, not a carpet --- or "deliver" when they mean some service, not the milk.

My currant pet hate is "Pressurised" as in "he was pressurised in to signing the paper". No no NOOOOO - he was not blown up like a balloon!

"cool"!

I like anything said in 'Geordie'. It always sounds like so cool!

Hate 'You know' every other sentence, and 'Bless'. And I hate all the rest that you have already mentioned! Another thing that drives me mad is 'There's two reasons for this'. NO - there ARE two reasons. And 'The Government are'. NO - The Government is!

Must calm down - need a cup of tea.

'Laters' as used so many times in the '50 Shades' books

Ninathenana "Shut the back door" as comment on a surprise is similar to "Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs" (I think the latter expression comes from Brum way.)

I really object, as a female in a group of females, being addressed as,"you guys". I say that I am not male,called Fawkes or wearing a notice asking for donations of a penny...

Biggest Grandson (18) has moved through,"basically", "actually" and "random" to,"to be fair". Senseless to hear a phrase such as,"He's called William, to be fair"

The replacement of,"invitations" with "invites"...I think this battle's lost, even printed packs of the wretched things are now labelled,"invites"

Thank you for letting me release my inner Meldrew,alas he is arriving more often and more irascibly every day!

Upcoming! Very irritating.
