The most annoying expressions...

i just meant... because i say at least three-quarters of those supposedly annoying 'expressions' on a daily basis! 

Me too!  I really like "as you do."  And I say "cheers" in my American accent from time to time.  Gasp!

The only one mentioned so far that bugs me is "fair enough."  I don't even care if people misuse the word "literally."  My sister-in-law does it so often that I've stopped noticing.

That kind of bugs me, but so does the misuse of Blatantly-which the young people at work always say.  So it could just be them that are annoying me.

I say cheers all the time.  Always have.  I don't care who it bugs.

LOL. And that's one of many reasons that you're so well adjusted!  Live and let live!

that is the truth.

Years ago, we had a family acquaintance who had a unique expression. He'd insert, "a thing on it" into sentences at random. We have no idea what it meant or what he meant by it. I can't remember his name, but my mother and I always called him Mr. ThingOnIt.

"Why don't y'all come out to the a thing on it patio and I'll get Loretta to fix some a thing on it iced tea."

I love Mr. ThingOnIt!

Yep, 'exactly' is on my list.  Sorry, Genau. 

       

I have a really bad problem in saying "me love" after a sentence...

e.g No problem me love, I will do that tomorrow.

or

Hello me love, how are you lovely lady? whats the latest?

I sound like a extra from My Fair Lady!

Use of the word " regenerate" as in "We are going to regenerate this area."  I've been hearing it used a lot lately...on TV shows and in regards to the area I live in.

Also mispronouncing "nothing" as "nuffink".   

These aren't British, and they don't annoy me, I just don't get them.  Anyway, fixing and cutting when used like 'I'm cutting out the lights' and 'I'm fixing to get some ice tea.'  I just don't get how they fit in those sentences.  When I lived in South Carolina, no one told me that cutting out the lights was just turning them off.  I thought my roommate was going to actually tear open the wall, get wire cutters, and actually cut the wire to turn the lights off. 

I say so many of these phrases though, it's embarrassing. 

Hee hee!  I say 'fixing to...'

I don't think the expressions have to be British, American, whatever -- just whatever gets on your last nerve...

Ahhh... okay.  That's my mistake.   

Can my previous two be included as ones that just make me go what? And be confused for half a second before I realise what's going on?  I don't like phrases that make me translate and think and stuff.   

No, it's all good!

A local expression that drives me insane is "a couple, two three".  As in, "Some guy came into the store looking for hammers, so I told him we've got a couple, two three on aisle five."

Grr.

I tend to shorten it and say 'a couple three'...which has prompted the response before, you mean six?

Here in Cali it's good to be 'like a 'totally rad 'awesome dawg' and 'chillin like a villian'
Gotta LOVE teenagers.
