Hating ‘on’ instead of just ‘hating’.

So you hate hating on?

I’ve never seen this.

Never come across this, but rather is like it.

Another expression I have come across frequently recently is “loving on” so a similar thing.
It is only in American press that I have read it.
Another example of language evolving but I don’t like either expression and certainly won’t be using it.

I’m
Hoping I’ve not (inadvertently) used this expression! 🙄🙄

Another Americanism. I dont understand 'parking up'. Why not just park?

I’m happy for Americans to park up in their parking lots but why change the way we have always described things?
Even pronunciation has changed. I recently heard my grandson say invenTORY. He’s obviously got it from SM.

It is invenTORY
Do you say inVENTory?

I’ve never heard of this.

You just said what I was coming on the thread to say, Aveline! A similar one is 'meet up' instead of 'meet'. I hadn't come across 'hating on' or 'loving on' but no doubt they will turn up everywhere now. Why do these unnecessary expressions spread so quickly, when good grammar doesn't seem to make a big impression on those of us who are not proud to be pedants?

I think we’ve used “meet-up” as a noun for some time.

As long as coffee or tea breaks don't become Hydration Breaks!

😅

Yes, Bellanonna, that's a noun and not what I'm complaining about, but I don't see why the verb 'to meet' needs an 'up' after it.

I had al ways thought it was INventory (IN-ventree, more,or less.)

I have never heard ‘hating on’, either. We do tend to have a few different ways of saying things here,though. She’ll be right.

Bellanonna I say it the same as you do and I am from north of the border if that makes any difference.

I meant to motion I also have never heard "hating on" but "parking up" yes. It may also be a Scottish expression as I remember a few. We don't have a lie in, we have a long lie. The Scots don't shop for groceries, it is messages to name a couple.

I love Australian words and phrases. 'She'll be right' 'Shot through' and 'Good on yah' to name but three.

Urban American lingo now appropriated, as usual, by those outside the sub-culture. No big mystery. It’s not nearly a new phrase. My children grew up in the US and I’ve heard the youth there use this phrase for decades. Hearing/seeing these things come across the pond years later makes me cringe. Not because I have a problem with inner-city Americans using their own lingo, but because here in the U.K. we never realize the origins and sound quite silly unknowingly mimicking “hip-hop”speak.

I am not aware of ever hearing 'Hating on', but I suppose it is possible that I would think i had heard 'Hitting on', depending on the context.
I've certainly never seen it in writing before, so wasn't aware that it was a 'thing'.

I don't mind 'meeting up', but 'meeting with' sounds wrong to me. 'I met Fred yesterday', says it all - there is no need for I met with Fred'. He would have to be there for you to meet him. I suppose we could have 'I met up with Fred' to be really irritating

Have seen it online but not heard it in real life.It sounds silly.
