"Can I Get A...?" English people Talking and Behaving Like Yanks

[The Spanish]

Anyone who says "Can I GET a... coffee/drink in the pub/something off the menu" is a PRICK. Pure and simple. Same with saying "I'm good!" when someone asks how you are. And the same goes for people eating their dinner just with their fork like they are a toddler.

Any others or has that covered it? I have not mentioned inner city gun crime in the How We Ape Americans rant as I am learning the Binfest rules now.

I normally get pissed off with that - it is ignorance. But I don't always get pissed off with it, because I'm alright now.

It is f***ing hilarious. My personal hate is in a pub when people say 'can I get..'. Its like f***ing spitting in the face of Englishness, doing it in a pub. Knock yourself out in Starbucks, the fact you are in there marks you down as a cnt before you even need to start talking.

Meet with.

"I'm meeting with him tomorrow". No you're not, you're meeting him. No need for an extra word.

Bloody septics.

I hate ordering a coffee or food and the assistant asks "Is that to go?"....No, It's to f***ing TAKE AWAY.

Dude, chill out.

Anger is an energy, as a great British butter salesman once said.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I have to say, I like your style, The Spanish.

Trouble is, it is tooooo easy to find yourself saying it.

I agree 100%, it is a horrible way to speak, but it is infectious when you hear it on the TV/Radio so much.

Dear Americans,

I think you'll find THIS is Togo:

That is all.

FFS get a life. If language did not evolve then we would all go around asking 'How art thou' etc. Haven't you anything more important to get annoyed with? I'm sure you will find something in this post to complain about.

how come an American TV show character gets away with being "pissed" off before the watershed over here when there would be uproar if it was said on Eastenders
