I heard someone say. ?The cat?s cock? recently instead of ?The dogs bollocks?. I was pretty stoked.

It is in Oz, and the snowboarding and surfing crowd.

[Brendan]

And tossers to a man they are.

Stop avoiding the swearing thread

[SimonM]

[suzisoo]

Why does everyone now go around saying 'Really?' in answer to things they might find unbeleivable?

[EDKiwi]

Why do some people say 'off of' instead of 'from', e.g John of off Dover, instead of John from Dover?

Maybe it's an English thing but it does my head in.

[Jah Lush]

Because they're stupid.

[EDKiwi]

Ah that explains why Radio 1 is the worst culprits for it.

[northlondoner]

Get - as in "can I get a capuccino please". Flogging's too good etc etc..

[robyn88]

[wee quinnie]

[Evie]

anything a little strange or different or surprising is RANDOM....... it's annoying....Randombloke

IT ROCKS.....hate that especially when said in pseudo American accent.

110 per cent, 120 per cent or even 250 percent, is it just me or can you not have more than 100 percent?

AT THE END OF THE DAY.............we all go to bed?

[Evie]

I really hate it when the likes of Gok Wan says 'ON TREND' or 'BANG ON TREND' or worse still shortens it to 'BANG ON', we used to say trendy, what is wrong with trendy?

[dukesdenver]

'Systemic'.

'Step change'.

MAKE IT STOP.

"Look" at the beginning of politicians sentence (Obama started it)

"Progressive"

[Sherry]

The "word" I can't stand hearing is Fanks instead of Thanks; (I would like it even more if people could actually say Thank You!) Actually, it's laziness of articulation and inability to speak clearly that drives me nuts, but Fanks really does drive me mad. lol (I'm getting old aren't I? lol)

[SteveT]

My daughters, amongst many others use "can I get" from many US soaps, now used to speak to waitresses, when

'may I have' is the forgotten/ignored/correct version,

you cannot get anything.

Apologies to northlondoner!

The Eurozone...what was wrong with Europe?

[EDKiwi]

I think Eurozone refers to countries which use the Euro as their currency.

[Moos]

You can definitely have more than 100%. 150 is 150% of 100. But you can't be "110% committed to this project" within the bounds of logic, and you also can't say it without being 100% of a tosspot.

[Atticus]

'can I get...two beers? as in asking for some drinks

'found it on the interweb' as in wacky way of describing something found on internet

[Jah Lush]

"Can I get" ...I really fucking hate that. In fact I can't stand any Americanisms that have crept into our language.

Simples... really hate that too.

[wee quinnie]

I don't know if anyone else has noticed the way that fashion people use the singular when they should be using the plural

eg.

"...a red lip.."

"...a black pant..."

Dreadful!
