Hated American Expressions that have arrived over here...

[Beach Hut]

In that context it is very much so and became popular on on the internet.

"Owned"

Who owns who ?

i hate the hip hop culture that has been created by dicks such as 50 cent g-unit etc

 

[Billy the Fish]

I hate their use of acronyms, like: "that's a pile of BS". Or the way that they actually say ASAP, instead of A.S.A.P.

They've created nothing. They have no relevance to real hip-hop or hip-hop culture.

"Owned"

'tis geekspeak, not Americanism. It's origins are in online gaming.

Which probably came out of the "concept" of "ownership" in the corporate business sense, applied to every thing from databases to ballpoint pens if my company is anything to go by.

It inself an Americanism.

..and what annoys me, when they "clap" after EVERY JOKE by a stand up comedian.

Christ I hope that never comes over here.

Going into a sandwich shop and saying something like 'Can I get a bacon and mayo sandwich on rye...?'

1. It's can I 'have', not 'get'
2. It's mayonnaise
3. Rye bread is f***ing horrible

"Stakeholder"
"Take ownership of"

"can I get a...?"

Do you work here? No, well no you f***ing can't then!!!

True story, a senior anesthetist rang my lab the other day and asked if he "could crossmatch a couple of units of blood". I said, "yeah, absolutely, come down as we're really busy at the moment." and the guy went absolutely mental!!!

No sense of homour...

" Tipping point"

Rather than being some kind of pivotal moment, I think that's the time when you have to weigh up whether the restaurant service really can justify the ludicrous, bloated American embarrassment surcharge of 15%.

And how about: --

"So I was like... "And he was like...

How so inferior to our very English reported speech vernacular: "So I goes - ... then he goes .... "

 

[clapham_gull]

"Dude"

YES - I REALLY REALLY HATE THAT



but - the one that REALLY IRRITATES ME is when instead of saying "That's odd", they say "random....!"

EVERYONE IS SAYING IT IN LONDON
