    Havent read it all but my annoyances are,,

    Brought= bought

    literally
    basically
    Starting sentences with "so"

    When ordering for example, in a restaurant.."Can i get..."

    Amazeballs

    Swear down..usually used by degenerates



    On the brought bought thing, amazingly i saw the very same error on a corporate website this morning.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    The thing that really gets my back up is people using double negatives-

    'I haven't got none'
    'I haven't done nothing'
    'That attitude won't get you nowhere'
    'I don't have no time for this'

    My OH uses them all the time and they drive me crazy!

    I pull my housemate up on those all the time infuriates me!

    I accidently said "I haven't got a scooby" (Scooby Do - Clue) to my nan the other day she went mad so I'll avoided using that from now on.

    Urgh "swear down" I loath I live in Essex and work in TOWIEville (Brentwood) and all I hear is the stupid words those so called "celbs" use (or as I call them plebs) it drives me mad :mad:

    JUST SPEAK NORMALLY !!!!!!!! :mad::mad::mad::eek:

    Oh yes - and people who say "I'm confused-dot-com". The more I think about this thread, the more I realise how many of these things annoy me!

    "current climate" when referring to the economy. Please...no!! It has nothing to do with temperature! So maddening. I second "Brexit" too. Almost as bad as "Grexit" when Greece were having issues !

    I've never, ever heard anyone, even the daftest pupil, confuse 'brought' and 'bought'.

    Is it a regional thing?

    Used it in the context "I swear down if he carries on I'm gunna smack him"

    It's a way of saying that you are telling the truth but actually you're probably just talking a load of bs because in fact you're not hard or tough you are in fact a wannabe gangster
