'I'm pissed'

[MarthasGinYard]

Aibu that this little saying that's crept in and dropped its 'off' gives me a mini rage

'Aibu to be pissed at dp'....

'I'm so pissed with Mil'....

'So pissed that dc won't eat their greens'....

It's OFF

That's a good point, but the OED does list "meet with" as having a meeting with someone so perhaps that's more specific than simply meeting someone.

Yes, flowery - in spades.

Another one, having a takeaway is now a takeout, hearing this all the time now, I’m convinced it’s only Ant and Dec who are keeping the English version going.

I had an American colleague who once said "Let's get this document signaturised"

🤣

The Americanism I hate is saying the date wrong, and they've started doing it on the news and in all the newspapers I read.

Today is 5th June, not June 5th!!!!!

Yanbu, seen it loads on here lately.

Takeout? Grrr
Maybe it’s all part of the yo dude cool man hey stuff that da good favour?

*da yoof

As long as you ain't gonna 'lose your shit'

Not a chance, but as this is MN I may 'loose my shit'.

Hmm... that will be that last cup of coffee I expect.

By the end of these threads I’m always more confused than when they started!!

Is there any chance that we can have a summary at the end of what’s correct and what isn’t?

Just saying I personally preferred to be an Ass Hole than a Twat.

I actually prefer 'Asss hoooole'

Ass holio is better.

Oh this thread is so fun, guys.

How about their losing the word "on"

"the Nicks play the Rams Thursday"; no they don't - they play on Thursday.....

Just enjoying a few kernels of popcorn

Early morning snack

I get a bit stabby about "purposefully", when its used to mean "deliberately" or "on purpose"...

Whenever I read that shit it makes me want to pluck my eyes out.

Right I’m going to use the American word for everything I can think of today and see if anyone notices, might ask colleague if he likes my new pants and should I get a matching fanny-pack to go with them? Could be an interesting conversation......

In which case, BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo, you don't have a colleague, you have a co-worker....

Awesome idea

Wee

Of course

Betty 😂

Yup I agree. I'm pissed is just a dropping of 'off'. People can't even be bothered to string a proper sentence off these days. People actually speak text language these days. I'd put I'm pissed into Room 101.

Fanny pack. Just noooooooooo.
