"Wigger" "as in shut up you stupid Wigger..." as I heard one black kid call his white mate who was using same lingo. Must say, very inventive that and made I larf!

People on public transport who insist on playing their crappy music through their tinny little mobile phones.

"In-boarding" = Induction

Coming back from Bournemouth in First some years ago fairly packed carriage and the guy just over from me was on his mobile on about a meeting he'd had with the Secretary of State (for what I don't know) but every time he said 'secretary of state' he said it really loudly and he was getting on everyones t*ts. Suddenly my mobile went off (Mrs Oldie) and with unusual (for me) quick wittedness I answered, as loudly as I could, "Ah, Prime Minister". It was quite funny at the time, but you probably had to be there.

Had to endure hearing how some gay guy's otherhalf was not actually who he said he was on the train back from London Bridge the other night. Although annoyed at first, hearing this guy playback his entire relationship failure to his friend and revealing the lies told by the partner and the efforts he had gone to find out "who he really was!" He had even changed his name was one of the most interesting train journeys I have ever had! So much so I didn't want to get off. Just call me nosey!!

On the subject of annoying phrases!

"Let's get the ball rolling..."

"mash up"

"In all due respect...."

Ahh yess, off topic a minute but I do this sometimes to car drivers. I'm riding me motorcycle and see some idiot driving really badly in front of me and sure enough she or he is on their mobile. I ride up next to them, their window is open and I check I can escape quick. I grab the phone and throw it on their side seat screaming CONCENTRATE ON YOUR DRIVING then bomb away very quickly. I have been applauded for this, too. Though it's very difficult to applaud when you're riding a motorcycle. The scooter riders find it VERY hard to clap AND do their texting at the same time, but sometimes people on the pavement witnessing applauded me.

On topic:

"New Years Resolution."

"Let's be clear"

"Special Offer"

"It was quiet" (when being asked how someone spent Christmas and New Year).

So how do you suggest we refer to those who have incestuous relationships with their mother?

Must say 'Yummy Mummy' does p**s me off quite a bit as well as there seems to be ABSOLUTELY no quality control!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

The word you are looking for is Oedipal.

sorry - obnoxious of me I know.

[rifleman harris]

Domitianus- ive said that before; all these so called "yummy mummies" who block up all the eating places down LL at luchtimes are anything but yummy.

[Doodles]

" Can I get.." in a shop or resturant meaning "I would like". Where is that from?

[PeckhamRose]

Yes, there is an American thing where someone may say,

"Do you have..."

and the reply is

"We don't got..."

which makes me feel quite uncharacteristically violent.

Kind of like

Sort of

"Awww, bless". Always patronising.

[Narnia]

'You're boring me now'

[embellina]

"At the end of the day"

"I'm not being funny, but"

"Coolio" instead of cool

"Pacific" instead of specific

"Peeved off" instead of just peeved

"Obligated" instead of obliged

"Should of" instead of should have

"Finickety" it should be finicky or pernickity, no? Although I'm being particularly pernickity in saying that one....

[Domitianus]

Not quite on the verbal vein but I am driven insane by people who talk on their mobile phones and remove it from their ear to in front of their face in order to talk, then return it to their ear. I want to scream "It has a f***ing microphone built in, you muppet, they can hear you even when it is held at your f****ing ear!" I don't wish to appear racist (impossible to avoid actually in they eyes of some PC freaks if one actually expresses the evidence of one's own senses) but this is a practice that I have only observed in young people of a certain racial group and apparent socio-economic class. Any ideas why that might be? Is this a kultural thang?

[KalamityKel]

*wispers to dom* have u seen how old ladies use their mobiles? ;-)

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

40 something white women of chavvy origin?

It's very difficult to talk quietly into your mobile on a packed bus and I've done that before to try to say what it was I wanted to say without the whole bus being able to hear.

The phenomenon I am referring to is more related to people standing in public places, holding their phone in front of them and shouting at them as if the person him/herself was present. I always wonder how the person in question can hear what the other party might be trying to get in with while they are mouthing off.

Old ladies with mobile phones???? You are taking the piss. Or are all those hearing aids really discrete Bluetooth headsets?

[Jah Lush]

I do worry for the sanity of people who talk loudly into their mobile phones and are also gesticulating wildly at the same time. Or should this phenomenom be called testiculating - to wave your arms about like a lunatic and talk bollocks at the same time.

[Domitianus]

Those who contribute to the school that arguments are won by volume.

"Okie-Kokie" - I say it all the time and hate it.

[char1ie]

Can I get.

[char1ie]

It's American I think. And I wince when I hear Americanisms. But there are so many!

So as the first word of a story. So I went shopping... And I'm so over that.

Show = programme. Did you see that show last night?

Store = shop. Click here for our list of stores

What's that all about?

[rifleman harris]

People telling me about a conversation they had with somebody and they say "So she turned round and said....so i turned round and said...and then phil turned round and said". Does that mean they were all facing away from one another in the first place?
