Hating ‘on’ instead of just ‘hating’.

hating on i have heard a lot on american youtube videos as in .....bro i am so hating on her right now.

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

In grammatical terms:

Formal pre-arranged - to meet with + definite article = I met with Fred/the board/the director

Informally or by chance - met + definite article = I met Fred in the high street

Meeting up with is a (usually American) aberration of to meet with and is often misapplied both formally and informally

Really pedantic!

Well they've been called 'comfort breaks' for some time now.

I often use "met up with +name" for an arranged get-together at a pre-determined location

When I just say "I met + name", I would usually meen that I encountered that person by chance.

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

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'.

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

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.

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

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.

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

No. I say INventry

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

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’ve never heard of this.
