using plurals when referring to famous people.

e.g. "the Messis, Ronaldos, Bests and Peles of this world"
(OK, Ronaldos is allowed, but you get my point).

I've really started noticing it too, I think it's Martin Keown in particular likes referring to 'your Man Utds, your Chelseas, your Liverpools'.

I have found it is usually the pundits, your Nevilles, your Kevin Kilbanes and your Alan Shearers.

So many of the posts on this thread are complaints about the Americanisation of British/English culture/language.

Not sure if has already been posted, but the one that most infuriates me is the term 'hating on'. Witnessed 30+ men using it on certain other forums too the fucking twats!

Ah, well I've been dead the past 5 years, so probably why I've never heard of it.

Americanism I take it?

When people phone you but ask you to wait or try to put you on hold. Ermm, you just phoned here.

I often just hang up or say no.

The term "lock down". Used by news readers who cannot be arsed to use less dramatic language.

 

[wingy]

Similarly 'The Shooter '.

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

The use of season instead of series when it comes to television programmes. This is not America.

“Dating”

Dating apps, shit dates, the whole song and dance. Never done it before and now I’ve tried it I’m glad I hadn’t. How does the species ever end up procreating when we’ve normalised this bollocks as the mating dance?
