Cr0-Magnon Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Which ones do you come across whether it be online or not, which make you teeter between laughing and crying? The most common one I see is "I could care less" Also on another forum someone just used this could be a "Blessing in the skies"

Same with you're and your.

Steveocee Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Finishing a sentence with "Sooooo.........." Insta-Hate from me for that.
Cr0-Magnon Posted March 17, 2020 Author Posted March 17, 2020 One of the kids at my Nephews nursery would say "please subscribe" rather than bye. Transpires it's because he watches so many YouTube videos he genuinely thought that's how you ended a conversation.

Similar pet hate, when people say "yea" after every sentence when explaining something. "I went down to the supermarket yea, and this girl came up to me yea. She told me there was an accident yea, asked me to call an ambulance yea." Sorry, stop right there, turn around and kindly fuck off.
Tommikka Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 On a different tack, but it appears that something was ‘mis heard’ ...... I help out with friends who trade at shows, and was at Olympia comicon a coupe of weeks ago. I gave some additional customer service helping a lady choose a couple of gifts, then taking card payment I offered her the opportunity to have a text or email receipt ... and of course let her know that personal data was not kept by us, her phone number was going into the PayPal machine only, and that PayPal May retain it for future payments but we don’t. If she wants to be kept in touch then to like us on Facebook .... as I enter her phone number, I show the screen to confirm it’s right and also show that I haven’t ticked ‘save customer details’ .... and as her phone beeps with the incoming text, she walks away with a glint in her eye and says “Oh, you could ‘accidentally call ..... name... later” ..... No I can’t - like us on Facebook like I told you to

Another one is "mind your business" instead of "mind your own business". It's just really odd when they leave out own. Also, if you've not watched Trailer Park Boys, you need to. One of the characters is constantly getting sayings mixed up and comes up with hilarious stuff. https://trailerpark.fandom.com/wiki/Rickyisms
Uncle Pauly Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Not a misheard issue (sorry), but "Know what I mean?" really rattles my cage. Guy outside my work recently, chatting with his colleague and adding "know I mean?" to the end of every damn sentence - and sometimes even at the start of them. Really had to bite my lip. Almost turned to him and said: "Yes, I think your mate here and everyone else is very fucking clear about what you mean - it's not that complicated!" Honestly, getting old is a terrible thing. My patience is waning, lads ?

Macv276 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 When I first transferred to London with my job, a young guy I worked with began almost all of his sentences with 'Raah'. I thought he was calling me 'Raul' for ages, got to the point where I couldn't be asked to correct him. Then I discovered it's a thing that kids say now. 'Rah'. Christ I'm getting old.

Back in the dark ages when we were boys, 'Rah' was our favourite utterance. Said in an adolescent husky voice and accompanied by the stroking of an imaginary catweazle type beard! Bizarre!! Regards

Dogsbody100 Posted August 20, 2020 Posted August 20, 2020 One mate of mine, a top lad but just classic for this sort of thing once mentioned to us that he’d just filled up his car and was a little surprised at how expensive it had become, he said to his wife after he paid that he was ‘white as a sheep’ with surprise at the bill ? we all corrected him to say that he would have actually been ‘white as a sheet’ but he wouldn’t have it, eventually proclaiming that he’d prove us ‘pisstaking barstards’ all wrong which he tried to do by asking almost 30 people all at once in a team meeting to which he found out rather publicly that he’d been saying it all wrong for more than 40 years! he still claims that set him up somehow! No no wonder we all called him ‘joey Leytonstone’ on account of his vocal deficiencies and where he was born ? that bloke was a weapon and a half...

But just to be 100% let's say white as a ghost covered in a sheet. Oo scared meself then! ? Regards
