Can I get is actually quite a Scottish phrase...

I say movie and can I get. I think those two terms are used quite frequently in Scotland.

I have to clamp my mouth shut in order not to scream 'can I have ' when I hear people say 'can I get'.

I have noticed I've started saying 'can I get'. Particularly in Starbucks - 'can I get a skinny latte' just seems to roll off the tongue!

I hate trash

I refuse to go to our local showcase cinema due to them using trash and cell phone and movie In their advert.

My husband gets the glare if he says movie.

I sometimes say 'can I get' and 'back in the day'.

I have a problem with non Americans saying 'go figure' and 'my bad'.

bearandcub if so boring and beneath you why comment?
My Aussie mates say " can I get." And that sounds Ok but it doesn't sound right where I live! Mind you I once heard an American guy say " I'll take a latte.." I nearly called the police.

I wish I knew which Americanism were most annoying so that I could switch to them just to irritate the people I find most irritating.

I say dude and dudeyo which is probably worse.
I occasionally say y'all but not often enough for it to be an issue.
I don't think I say the rest, maybe back in the day occasionally, but it's said with tongue firmly in cheek.
I am really annoying though, I say things like hubby or even hubbster, cuppa, wifey, luffs and veggies.

"Can I get" is Scots, perhaps the Americans got it from us :D

The other version is "Can I no' get/.../Can I no' EVEN get....?" when you are denied what you wish for.
