Grab.

I'm showing my age, but it always used to be a greedy sort of thing to do, grabbing. 

If not  outright criminal, as in snatch and grab.

Now it seems to be  used for getting anything. Let's grab a sandwich. Up for grabs. I'll just come and grab that now.

I hate it! 

And "It is what it is".

Yes, obviously it is, otherwise it would be something else 🙄

Thank you SO much

Notice this more now you come to mention it. People saying "thank you SO much" sounds so cringy when leaving the cashier, where a simple "thank you" would suffice.

What was your name?

I'm not in the habit of changing my name FFS.

Playing slight devil's advocate - I interpret it as shorthand for "What was the name you wrote" (or whatever)

My objection is that it is an Americanism.

Spoken id prefer Mon to Thurs. In writing Mon - Thurs.

Yes but the point of saying "through" or "thru" is that it unambiguously includes Friday!!!

"Monday to Friday" might or might not include Friday.

"Monday through Friday" very clearly does include Friday.

Nothing wrong with a useful expression that just happens to come from America, surely? Much of our modern language does originally, just as much of their language came from us originally.

Times change, and all that ....

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
