Staring at the rude boys
One the Americans (yes, all of them) use is to precede a request with "Go ahead and". So "pass me that spanner" becomes "Go ahead and pass me that spanner" .
There's no need for it ever, in any situation.
Go ahead and prove me wrong.

If I asked for Benny Eggs in some of the cafes I frequent they’d assume I was after a state assisted discount

I'd like to add "let's do this" to the list, particularly when said as if a relatively mundane, standard task somehow needs gravitas or psyching up for.

Earlier in the year I heard someone refer to "cozzy livs" for "cost of living", the sentence being "the old cozzy livs doesn't seem to have affected them yet". I'm 99.9% certain they called the platinum jubilee "platty jubes" too.
If someone uses it for their own purposes how can it be incorrect?

Give me strength. Do they also call food eats?
This must have already been covered, maybe even by me, but people that say 'let me get' when ordering something are the scum of the Earth. 'Could I get' is also unacceptable, but slightly less awful because it's a question, albeit rhetorical, rather than a demand.
Also the people that think they're original and hilarious for calling someone a 'cockwomble' or other such shite. 'Get in the sea' and other variations. Irritating.

Just a nice reminder that the Internet is forever.
"People shouldn't have kids if they can't afford them." Most people probably can afford their kids when they have them, but circumstances change, disasters occur, people's incomes might be reduced through no fault of their own, their spouse might have to give-up work due to serious illness or disability, etc.
"We should look after our own first [instead of immigrants]." You can look after our own - get involved with or donate to a charity, do voluntary work, participate in fund-raising activities, help-out at a Food Bank, etc. I always suspect that those who say "We should look after our own first" don't really care about anyone; just engaging in anti-immigrant, faux-patriotic, virtue-signalling.

Putting “super” in front of words. The word you’re looking for is “very”.
Ah, a kindred spirit. Whenever I hear someone say "Can I get a lager/coffee/burger", I wish the person serving could say "No, you can't, but I'll get one for you."
That is super......... uh......... very........ true.
