"Can I get a... "

As in "Can I get a cappuchino?"

I don't know, can you? What's wrong with "please may I have?" It sounds kind of disrespectful/rude/demanding American-ish.

The phrase 'Can I get a.." should only ever be followed by the word 'Witness.'

"Can I have" is interpreted by Americans as wanting a freebie - "No you can't have but you can pay for" is a response I've had a few times in the States.

When my mrs is boring me with the same conversation for the umpteenth time, I daren't look as though I'm not listening so count how many times she uses the phrases...
"at the end of the day" & "to be honest with you" Jackpot when she uses them together.

From football pundits it has to be "It's a big ask". Only makes sense if you take it with T.

I would ban the use of"the peoples" to describe anything. A more accurate phrase would be "the readers of the dailies Mail & Express". e.g.

She was the readers of the dailies Mail & Express's Princess.

'for me' as used by that twat Andy Gray. 'He's done brilliantly there for me'

No he hasn't Andy. He's done brilliantly for himself, for his team-mates, for his club, maybe even for the fans. He's not done it for you, mate.

Stevie G - the phrase, not the footballer. Makes him sound like some hip-hop-rappy-dj-type bloke.
