Pete Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Wow, I think you lot have already said all the ones that wind me up. Alright cock? cocker? Winds me up that one... They say that a lot round here too. What is that all about? Them - "All right cock.." Me - "Fine thanks you wanker" Round here they say "All right" instead of hello... so a conversation goes like so: "All right" "Yes thanks, how are you?" "Fine, you alright?" "Erm...yes, I just told you" "All right, cheers mate" Cheers mate...there's another. If a particular employee says "Cheers mate" one more time to a customer I'm gonna rip his voice box out. "How bist jockey" - another bizarre local saying. Jockey. Why call someone a Jockey? I'm not even going to guess what the eff How Bist means. I could go on all night...but then I am fairly intolerant of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hmmmm. It seems that I use a lot of phrases that would wind you guys up! I say "dude" all the time, and so do a lot of my friends. We also say "That's how we/I roll!". I never noticed or realised that some people found it irritating! "F**k it dude, let's go bowling" crops up quite frequently too....

Ewen Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Just talking to the wife about this. I say 'cool' a lot, and I'm also guilty of a lot of 'at the end of the day' and 'bottom line'. Its obviously subconcious, but now its been pointed out I'm going to make a concious effort to leave it out. My wife says 'shooper' a lot, after watching Fargo. Doesnt annoy me, but I cringe when she uses it in public. She also does the 'woaaaaghhh' bit from Blackadder (the thespians) a lot which really does do my nut in.

hogmaw Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 "Bud" - annoying as fuck and funnily enough only found on this forum "How ya doin'" - only Joey from Friends can say this with any kind of aplomb, NOT to be said by someone from UK "Groovy" - way too Austin Powers "Lick the peanuts from my shit" - not something you'd say in front of the ladies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Just about anything that comes out of Tim Westwood's mouth and gangsta rap speak..............."west side" etc that along with the stupid hand signals Rant mode now off Definitely. A seriously uncool middle class, middle aged toss pot, trying to be down with the kids. Idiot. Makes me chuckle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 "Have a nice day now." WTF? Are you American or something? I think that's nice as long as it's done in sincerity. Perhaps a bit more British "Have a good'un" Just about anything that comes out of Tim Westwood's mouth and gangsta rap speak..............."west side" etc that along with the stupid hand signals I used to think that, but it's just his job to be like that now. If he'd ever changed he'd be out of a job, and let's face it, what else would he be doing? So, if Awesome, Cool, Wicked, Smart, Groovy etc aren't good words to use, what is acceptable to express your enjoyment or amazement of something? "That's awfully decent"?

Ewen Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 So, if Awesome, Cool, Wicked, Smart, Groovy etc aren't good words to use, what is acceptable to express your enjoyment or amazement of something? "That's awfully decent"? I use 'thats fantastic' a lot, or simply 'love it'. 'Beautiful' seems to crop up in my vocabulary often too. I use 'cool' too much lately aparently. Havent really thought about it until this thread. :)When pitching new designs to the Boss, I hope for a 'well done my boy'. But thats pretty well down the middle...I've had 'looks like a cross between Tugboat Willy and a house Brick' at one end of the scale and 'its a real knuckle biter' at the other.

Supragal Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I use phrases like these in an ironic way, so it's obvious I am taking the mickey but using them as intended. It's quite liberating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
