..to hate it when a British person says..

[Primadonnagirl]

..the word " movie"
...." Can I get?!"
... " dude"
... Y'all"
... "Back in the day"

V grumpy today

[scottishmummy]

Can I no even get a ginger around here?

[thornrose]

What's up with 'back in the day' is it an Americanism?

[squoosh]

Ginger is the diabetes inducing beverage that makes Scotland go round.

[AryaOfHouseSnark]

Alice, I don't know how someone hasn't buried me under the patio yet. I probably deserve it.

[Canthisonebeused]

Just say to the next person who uses one of those phrases...gony no da that....

[Purplehonesty]

Ginger is juice (fizzy pop you may call it doon there)
Can I get is what everyone says here...
I hate it when people say 'awesome' about everything. It's really not.

[shockinglybadteacher]

"Can I no' even get a wee tea here? Ah'm no comin' back then"

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I say "dude" in "no, just no" context.

[scottishmummy]

Ah Murney comin back if I cannae get served,can I no get a ginger?

[littlepeas]

I can cope with most Americanisms, but my bad makes me want to scream. My sister wrote it in an email yesterday and I was //hmm.

[Semolinafortea]

Can I get just sounds so incredibly rude to my ears. What's wrong with 'please may I have'.

[littlepeas]

Ha fail!

[PhaedraIsMyName]

I'm in Scotland. I don't say "movie" or "can I get"

I don't mind either of them but don't get me started on "prom"

[scottishmummy]

So put a pomander over your ears.protect em

[Passmethecrisps]

Agree with the scottishisms.

Although I say film. Or maybe filum if I have been around my family recently.

I am sorry to say I also say 'dude'. It started ironically and now it is just in my mouth ready to fall out.

[Aliceinvodkaland]

is ginger up there in scottish land irn bru??

[squoosh]

A British person saying 'my bad' is like an American saying 'cor blimey guvnor'. Wrong.

[Passmethecrisps]

Just general fizzy juice. Anything fizzy is ginger in some parts. Not where I am from but my relatives in glasgow type places said it

[CateBlanket]

I thought I was the only person on MN who got the rage when Brits say "movie" - people on here are very fond of their (cringe) "movie nights".

And I don't like Brits saying "you guys" - what's wrong with "you lot"

[Aliceinvodkaland]

or is it ginger ale?

[Passmethecrisps]

Nothing at all to do with actual ginger

[Primadonnagirl]

I'm not saying it's technically grammatically wrong but, to me " can I get" means "can I get it myself?" which in most cases doesn't apply. "Can I have?"sounds better because you are acknowledging someone has to bring it to you.Get sounds aggressive I think.

[Aliceinvodkaland]

my dd says 'you guys' fuckin americans shock]

[Aliceinvodkaland]

is it fuckin irn bru or ginger ale oi scottishes cannae youse answer?
