So fun

Ooh yes I loathe "Can I get"!

Yes Jane 10. I'm good is another transatlantic import that I can't stand.

One of my DDs also says in a restaurant " can I get?" Hate that too.

Oh, wicked! Tho I believe wicked has been replaced by sick as a term of approbation. Not that I'd ever use it. I just keep my ears open! And hate it all.

I think it is a Scottish thing, but it doesn't sound right to me when something 'needs mended' or similar.

Geordies used to use "like" as a sort of polite interjection, ages ago.
eg " are ye gannin oot wiv'im like?"
So I quite like it.

What a disappointment! I thought when I heard 3-year-old DGS say "It's very fun" that it was rather nice. Maybe it was another 3-year-old who said "So fun" and people who should know better have copied it

phoenix, I have promised before, and hereby do so again, that when I am World President, nobody under the age of 30 will be allowed to use the word "like" for any purpose at all.

A little admission here I do quite like using phrases to my boss such as "let me throw this in your goldfish bowl and see if it blows bubbles"

A sort of variation on "run it up the flagpole and see who salutes", not original, I'm afraid, stolen from a TV programme called "Drop the dead donkey"

How about one thing being 'funner' than another ??

Well actually I get actually annoyed when people actually can't think of anything to actually say rather than repeating actually.
The couple on Escape to the Country today were both guilty of it.
One I've noticed lately is 'Shut the back door ! ' (an expression of surprise /disbelief) ggrrr !

It's like they have no brains! - whatever happened to "as if"?

I am beginning to get likephobia !

And it was like, and then she was like, and I was like.................AAAAARRGH!

Q) How are you? A) Good. Drives me nuts!

So the word 'so' strikes again. I so don't like it being used this way. It is so not fun

The one that irritates me most is "fit" . I think it can be applied to men as well as women.
And sometimes even "well fit"
Sounds like they were overdoing it at the Gym.

This thread is well good!

Chillax everyone!

I hate this too - it sounds like some Californian teenager speaking and can we please not say cool- drives me nuts.

This makes me shout at the TV! IMO there is no such phrase as "so fun".
Surely it should be such fun or so much fun as you say merlot?

Grrr!
