Years ago I had a friend visiting from London and my room mates would ask him if he wanted a cup of tea. He would say "I don't mind" so they would think "eh?" Finally we sat him down and said "Look, if you want a cup just say so"

I dislike the expression, "nom, nom, nom," or any variant of it, such as referring to food as "noms."

Me three! I dislike pretty much any/all expressions that appear on lolcats. (Though the lolcats bible is a cute concept...lolcats code is a bit more scary).

And me! It's awful! I really don't like most 'internet-speak', to be honest. If anyone else calls it the interwebz, I'll scream.

My husband's company has Interweb in the name.

Tinterweb and Tinternet are T'interweb and T'internet. Just Yorkshire for The Interweb and The Internet.

I'll sometimes say internet(s/z), or interweb(s/z), but that's more of a geek joke than anything else. (And, for me, it's linked to mocking Dubya, so bonus points there.)

According to urban dictionary it is a parody of a Northern English accent.
