It's not always what it seems. My dad was in a wheelchair and we had a blue badge for him. We had parked the car and gone into a shopping centre, but came out a different door. So, I left dad with mum, and walked back around and moved the car to the new door, parked in the disabled bay (as we are allowed) and went inside to fetch him. Halfway across the footpath I suddenly figured, "if anyone is watching this..."

I actually experienced this last night... the look the woman gave me when politely (I know, I try!) asked to move her bag... and all I could think about was this thread the rest of the way home!

I that two or three rages there?

No wonder why I don't like people! :-|

People using Americanisms. My current bugbear being people saying: "Can I get a hell yeah?" Just Fukc off. You'll get my boot up your arse.

[Twirly]

What does that even mean?!

Indeed! Irritates the hell out of me.

That drives me nuts too Jah.

Don't know why so many British people were using 'mom' on mother's day either, spotted a particularly nauseating example on a friend's Facebook timeline (by his sister, not him). They are from Birmingham, not the one in Alabama.

[StraferJack]

People using Americanisms doesn't bother me in the slightest - language is cross-pollinating all the time. Americans use brit phrases too

there was never a time when language was "nailed down" and that's the version we should be using - that way lies madness!

All part of the give and take

[Jah Lush]

Pah! It might not bother you and it bothers me that it doesn't. I'm sick of our language being polluted by stupid American phrases. In fact it is causing me irrational rage. Arrrrrghhhh!

[StraferJack]

"our language"

hmmm.....

[numbers]

hey there SJ, being irrationally irritated by americanisms doesn't mean that you are against language evolving as it naturally will, but thats quite a different thing. do the math, buddy!

Have a nice day!

[StraferJack]

Back atcha!!

But seriously (is that another one? Oops) why the irritation?

I'm aware of that, having a non visual disability myself, and working in the field for the last 12 years.

BUT

I'm 99.9999% sure the woman that did it yesterday was just a lazy cow, and I'm 100% certain that all the people that do it don't have disabilities.

"Rock up".

Arrive, why not?

[Otta]

Australians.

[Otta]

As in that's where the "rock up" thing has come from, not that Australians cause me irrational rage.

[StraferJack]

"drives me nuts"

An early example of this phrase can be seen written in The Bilioxi Daily Herald, a newspaper printed in 1884. The idiom is written under an advice column, where people could write in asking a woman named Ann Landers for advice:

snigger...

[????]

It works both ways. I'm quite partial to hearing americans using w*nker, which is becoming more widespread.

I quite like it - typically Aussie and often used when someone is late and doesn't care (ime) as in "when did you rock up?"

Reminds me of another Aussie saying I like - "Rack off!" (I think I got that from Joe Mangel).

The continual meteoric rise of the use of the adjective ROBUST in sentences by the likes of politicians, police officers etc etc.
