Were they from the West Country - the use of 'Oh Bless' is rife 'round 'ere.

As is 'dear of him'...I always used 'dear love him' myself.

And then,from the cornish it's 'alright me 'ansome' (handsome) rarely used with a handsome person:rotfl:

My parents used to come out with a phrase that always wound me up,it was stupid,but I can't, for the life of me, remember it!

Blood is thicker than water gets me -yes it is,and in my families case they're thicker than anything I've ever met :rotfl:

I seriously hate 'nom nom nom' and 'woop woop'

Ginormous. It is enormous or gigantic, not both.

flutterby_lil

As such is another of my pet hate phrases.

Should "of" and would "of" instead of should have or would have

I'm with shegirl on the 'nom nom'. Makes me cringe everytime.

My daughter has brought home 'well good' from school. She's six. I'll have to slap that out of her sharpish!

Not so much words I hate but words I have heard myself saying over the last few days when a lady on the phone couldn't understand a word I was saying, it made me think of how I talk.

Gerroff
givower
dinnit
f (instead of for)
kna
a (instead of I)

A lot of my words seem to get joined together without me realising, for example, I live at comes out alivet

I don't realise how 'regional' (bumpkin) I sound until I hear the children say things I.say! My brother moved to London and picked up an accent from there... He says I sound more farmer every time he calls

When I say 'five' it comes out 'foive'

I get annoyed by bromance, staycation et al too.

And technical jargon.

Eta: blud, bruv etc all beloved of said brother in that London.

"Im good!" in responce to "how are you?"'

"What at? " I;d like to ask but don't think it would go down well.

I can't help thinking that this thread has gone off course somewhat.

People who say Paris, France. Don't most people know that Paris is in France?

I was actually wishing an acquaintance of mine HAD used Paris, France when telling me about her upcoming trip. After I launched into a whole spiel about The Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysees etc, she stared blankly back at me then coldly announced it was POWIS, WALES she was headed!

It also peeves me when people say 'y'alright?' instead of hello. That then requires a response, and when a stranger has opened the nursery door, I don't really want to chit chat, I just want to get to my son. Pretty much everyone annoys me.
