Adding “No?” to the end of a statement makes you sound a bit twatty

[hazelnutpraline]

No?

Yes! Completely agree

Yes.

I agree with you.

I imagine a particular facial expression that goes with it as well

@hazelnutpraline

No?

Big time. So pretentious

I said it in my head in that annoying, pretentious voice and saw the head tilt too. You've given me the rage

Also ‘discuss’

Makes me instantly think, no, i bloody won’t 😂

YANBU, I hate it. So smug and self-righteous.

Fractionally better than

'Non?'

My daughter has started doing it. But her peers (for whom English is their second language) all do it, because in their mother tongue it’s part of the regular way of phrasing iyswim.

@GertrudeBElion oh god

You're polite than me. I just say “Fuck off!”

@hazelnutpraline

Ooooh, YANBU! It really fucking pisses me off to the nth degree. It barely even makes sense! I cringe inwardly when I see someone type it on here.

'So you agree that this wouldn't happen no?'

FUCK. OFFFFFFFFF!

It really brings out the narky, oppostitional teenager in me.

I agree - and yes there's always an implied head tilt.

Yeah - a bit like this... with a side-order of head-tilt......

In a similar vein, well used phrase on MN...
Blah blah blah , x much?

Eg jealous much?

Hate it!

I don't like it. Also people who start sentences with "So" and colleagues who begin professional emails with "Hey,".

I'm not about to arm myself with a specially-sharpened biro, but it does tick me off...

Agreed. I find it very patronising and rude.

Oh god yes - 'no' and 'discuss' automatically make that person a dick, no question. I also take an instant dislike to people who start a sentence with 'listen'. Prats.

Yes!! Me too!

When my DH asks me a question he says ‘say’ at the end. If he wasn’t such a lovely person I think I would smash his face in.

The only people I know of who do this speak Spanish as their frist language, so I expect it. I think it would piss me off from a native English speaker though.

Ha, my pet peeve.
