phrases that wind you up

[Processed Beats]

Really? You say "Where you at?" 

Yeah. It's like a shortened version of "where are you?"

[Barry Scott]

Didn't a news paper, or some language body, have a study on the most hated English phrases and then one of the broad sheets ran a front page with a long headline made up entirely of the shit people say. Someone should find it. It was ace.

I hate anything being described as "gurt." When in Bristol, or somewhere else braincells are dying in shallow gene pools, I understand it, but not here. (No offence Samdy, because I know you've typed it, but I tell myself it's tongue in cheek.)

[Simon Pieman]

Anyone who uses the word 'gurt' or the phrase 'bore off' is a chav.

[china red]

In it

[BANGKOK RED]

"Guess what"

[Ginginho]

Yeah. It's like a shortened version of "where are you?"

But it's not really is it.
It's the same number of syllables so isn't any quicker to say and you also sound like a cunt.



"Have you got two minutes?"
"Can I pick your brains?

I have a customer that I speak to on a regular basis who ALWAYS says (after i've asked him how he is) "I'm alright, it's all the others, hehehe!" with a little chuckle at the end.
One day I will just put the phone down on him at this point.

When people use the word 'literally' in any phrase where it is clearly inappropriate.

'I was literally over the moon with that'

No, you weren't. Jamie Redkanpp does this all the time on sky and it does my head in.

[donkey]

One swallow does not make a summer

But it can certainly make your evening.

[Colin Todd]

Wake up and smell the coffee

He / she turned around and said

[nevillew]

Don't worry, I'm not trying to sell you anything......

With respect.....  (you pratt)

I hear what you say..... (but you're wrong)

[Samdy Gray]

People that say 2010 as two thousand and ten. It's twenty ten, fools.

People don't refer to 1910 as nineteen hundred and ten.

[Ginginho]

So what did you refer to 2009 as? twenty o'nine?

Twenty ten just sounds shit, although i'm trying to think of a circumstance where I would actually say the current year out loud, but i'm pretty sure i'd say two thousand and ten.

[bassett boy]

Americans 2 things when they say you are welcome and lately when they call and say that they have been reaching out to you

[pauld]

Pretty meh between twentyten and two thousand and ten but one I've heard on the radio which utterly baffles me is "twoten". Which can only refer to the year 210 AD. For some reason, this seems to be in vogue with "sports personalities" - as in recently when I heard Seb Coe apparently looking forward to British Athletics "kicking on" "to build an athletics infrastructure" suitable for the Dark Ages.

[Peter Venkman]

Anyone who uses the word 'gurt' or the phrase 'bore off' is a chav.

You wouldn't like it in Somerset then Si.......everyone uses the word gurt, its the God given right of every Somersetonian!
