Americanisms creeping in

When shop assistants, post office counter clerks, bus drivers, cab drivers etc, say "see you later."

Will you? It's as meaningless as "have a nice day!"

Same as Craftycat - starting sentences with 'so'.

Also, any references to being 'on a journey'. Unless it's from one physical place to another.

I dislike ‘you guys’ and ‘gotten’. Otherwise I’m not too bothered about anything else. We met a lovely American couple last year on a cruise, and we had fun one evening over dinner comparing the different words in USA and Britain. The meaning of ‘fanny’ is VERY different in Britain than America!

I was only talking to OH about this last night!! I also hate awesome, and play-date sort of sets my nerves on edge. Americanisms again!!

Can I get
Starting a sentence with "So"
Convinced instead of persuaded - there is a difference in meaning.
I'm good instead I'm fine or well

Americanisms aaagh!!

Call out
Eg “ I called her out for being incorrect”
It drives me mad as it makes no sense.

When asked "Can I get....." the landlord of our local would reply " No you cant, that's my job"!

I also find "like" really irritating. A few years ago in my area every sentence ended with "innit"
The expression "They're/it's the dog's bo*****" has always made me wonder what is so good about a part of a dog's anatomy besides annoying me!
I seen
Gutted

Better stop now as finding more and more!!!

'BASICALLY' Though that does seem to have been dropped lately.

Like I say .... say what?

Yep, basically amazing! Urgh!

Don;t know whether it originated in America or here but I cannot stand " bored of" .
It should be bored WITH!!!

I must have a very high tolerance level.

Drives me mad Americanisms all the time. We have always had influences from all different countries in our language but due to social media and the likes of Netflix the British language seems to be disappearing. Why do people keep saying movies, we have always said films. This has crept into the BBC and ITV etc. I actually heard Fiona Bruce saying the shooter instead of the gunman, winds me up no end.

Nom nom is my current verbal peeve!
Whatever happened to yum yum ?

I heard a young girl on the radio last week saying that she broke a vaise . VAISE?, it's a vase for goodness sake, it sounded awful.

“ONLY” on every price ticket in the supermarkets and shops.

I dislike 'Are you alright?' as a greeting. Can sound quite aggressive. The short version is 'Orl right?' I have spent some time wondering how to respond. I thought of a few choice responses but it is always best to be kind.
I decided that it was just a modern version of 'How do you do' to which the response is 'How do you do'
But I can't bring myself to say 'Are you alright' So I just say HELLO.

"Impacted on" instead of "had an impact on". It only seems to have happened over the past couple of years and I really hate it.

Mom instead of Mum (apologies to any Americans online!)

Can I get , Gotten, gifted, suck it up, Like, basically, oh I could go on and on .

Literally. I heard a couple of young girls chatting and one of them had "Literally died" of embarrassment!
I also dislike it when people talk about 110% or similar
Starting a sentence with "so"
And lastly when people say they got something "for free". It's either free, or for nothing .

cc.. I'm from the West Midlands and have always used 'mom', as did my mother, so that goes back over 100 years.

I hate 'gonna' instead of 'going to'.

No worries

Hi ! instead of Hello.
