Words you use, but you shouldn't.

[little al]

I find myself saying "cool" a lot, especially when typing. I think I am far too old to use it. I also say "aye" a lot, an affliction I got from moving up here.

I hate saying both.

Your turn NSC.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I do say 'aye' a lot. I have obviously spent too much time with my Scottish contingents.

I don't like myself when I say 'awesome'. I make a concerted effort noto, but sometimes it slips out.

I am quite good at mixing two words together, unintentionally, something like 'bit little' - becoming 'bittle'. It annoys me.

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

'good times' occasionally, like some massive f***ing cretin

 

[happypig]

"clueless twat" when talking to lots of managers

 

[Notters]

"chrystal"

 

[Huple]

I often say pling and masterthwack.

 

[Horsham Gull]

****

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Shiver me timbers

Tiver me shimbers

Shiver me shivers

All the above have been used in recent weeks.

 

[Meade's Ball]

I've had a recent rebirth of "what, and i don't/didn't/never/haven't?" to follow almost anything anyone says to me.
"I'm feeling a bit rough this morning."
"What, and i don't?"
"I had the squits last night."
"What, and i didn't?"

And i find myself annoyingly saying "cool" to people on the phone to me at work who soud either black or young. I'm trying to fit in, but in 1982, where most people don't live any more.

I don't like people who say something isn't like rocket science.

 

[lichfield seagulls]

'what's up shag' keep getting into trouble(oh well)

 

[Mackenzie]

Little Al ran quite well today (at Newcastle), up near the front for most of the race only to fade out of it........much like your team

 

[phoenix]

Dude,like hi Dude ffs I am not 18.

 

[seagullsoverlincoln]

keep calling people dude-not really appropriate for a fifty year old! Also "i'm done now"
instead of i'm finished. When did that stupid americanism creep into the english language!

 

[Taybha]

bugger me

 

[Robbie G]

'Gay' when used to say something isn't good. It's a stupid habit you get into as a kid.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

use "splendid" a little too frequently ....
I also call too many people "Tosh"

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Fella. I use this FAR too often.

Also "No worries"..like I'm a f***ing convict Aussie.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

use "splendid" a little too frequently ....

As do I. I tend to emphasise the word and with a pug dog like look for the 'spl' and then give it the best of upper class Britain for the 'endid'.

I also tend to say 'crikey' a bit too much and 'good grief'.

 

[Easy 10]

'OK squire'
'Cheers squire'

I am NOT a chirpy, rosey-cheeked 1950's stableboy, so WHY I insist on calling friends and barely known aquaintances 'squire' both verbally and online, I honestly have no idea. But I just can't seem to STOP it.
