Bless is so patronising my SIL drives me mad with that and hun.
My dear departed mum used to hate the word plus.

Quite/very unique

F——-g. Overhearing teenagers’ conversation where almost every other word was that one.

My eldest.ds.

So when lol came about on texts, and my younger son used to put it at the end of his texts to me .
I kept thinking he was talking about my eldest ds.

Love your humour breeze ?

Absolutely!

At least most of us are singing from the same hymn sheet ☹️

Six of one and half a dozen of the other lol

I dislike the omission of the word house, as in I'll come over to yours. Your what?
Also why has the word treble been superseded by triple?

'No Problem' is one of our pet peeves. A proper response is : "You are welcome" or "My Pleasure", as far as we are concerned.
My husband assiduously reinforced the appropriate response to his office staff.
They responded by giving him a printed coffee mug with "No Problem" with a slash through it as a holiday gift.

Arks instead of ask
Different to
Can I get?
Do you know what I mean?
Blue sky thinking
Wake up and smell the coffee ( in fact all office jargon whatsoever)
I feel your pain
Follow your dream
I am proud of myself

Stay safe! ( why, is there a tiger on the loose?)
And I’m not even lyin’. ( oh I think you really are)

scribbles - "Know wha' I mean?"

I heard one of the women from one of the "The Only Way Is . . " programmes on tv. She said, what sounded to me, like

Ja nart a meen

Thankfully there were subtitled, which revealed she had actually attempted to say "do you know what I mean".

Let's give it up for...! What do they want me to give up?

Lucky four, I used the flight story as something that was part of a conversation. I wouldn’t make a long text out of it.
If I text someone about something serious that’s happened to me & they feel it’s ok to text back & say ‘what a shame’ I would choose someone more responsive the next time to share my troubles with. At least say for example ‘that sounds awful,I hope your ok’ It doesn’t take much therefore ‘what a shame’ & to leave it at that, is still a no response in my books.

Kathleenm111, My husband banned the use of ‘no problem’ as reply to instructions in his workplace. ??

"I'm the kind of person who......"

I remember adults saying " Then I/he/ she turned round and said..." a lot when I was young. People must have been revolving constantly.

I freely admit to being irritated by many of the expressions and grammatical errors posted here, but this thread has made me laugh , so thank you ,Vickixx.

'Early doors' yuk.
Starting a sentence or answering a question with 'So'.
Saying 'cool' in response to a statement uttered by someone else.
Gggrrrrr (that's not a pet irritation - that's me showing annoyance)

When people add the words " for me" at the end of a request instead of just saying please. ( ie ) "could you sign this form please;" they say" could you sign this form For Me.
When you ask someone " how are you" rep!y " I'm good."
Hun & Yay.

arks isn't a mispronunciation, it dates back to old English.

It's a steep learning curve.
I'm like.....
