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

No?

Was hoping you put ‘no?’ in your post OP and was not disappointed 😁👍🏻

Also I think ‘non’ is worse. Extra pretentious point there, non? 😆

HATE IT
HATE IT
HATE IT
and anyone who uses it is an absolute wanker - fact.

Another thing that pisses me off is when people put - for example - 'we went out sans the children...'. WTF? 'SANS' the children. Sans is French for 'without...' Why the fuck do people do this? Put a random French word in the middle of a totally English sentence? It's not big and it's not clever, it just makes you look like a twat.

Hell yes!! YANBU!

I hate it too. It's as pretentious as fuck and used by people who also say 'kwasson', 'keenowah' and give orzo to the foodbank, thinking this makes them 'woke'.

‘No?’ At end of a sentence I associate with Spanish

Absolutely awful, used a lot on here by passive aggressive nobheads

I don't think I've ever heard a native English speaker do this, so YABU.

My XP did this all the time because he'd spent time living in Spain, where it is a part of the speech there, and he thought that to say it in English made him sound all exotic.

He sounded like A TWAT.

Imagine if they ended a sentence containing ‘ergo’ with a ‘no?’ at the end.

Totally agree, also hate it when people put a full stop after each word for empahsis. Mostly. Done. By. Smug. Arseholes. On. Twitter.

I have never heard this said in RL, only seen it on MN. Makes me ragey enough just to read it. I would not be responsible for my scrubs if someone said it to my face!

Actually my actions not my scrubs

Same as someone answering "correct" when you ask a question. Fuck off to the fuckity side of fucks 😬

@RobertaFirmino I thought that was the right pronunciation of croissant, no?

Where did "my bad" come from? I see it everywhere.

I hate the 'go' similar to discuss...

eg: can anyone recommend any presents for a 200 year old? Go'

Just seems rude

What's wrong with 'kwasson'?

Oh no! I am bilingual (Eng/Fre) and I do do this sometimes - but only when I am speaking, not writing. I genuinely don't mean it in a pretentious way! It just happens naturally Will try and be more conscious as to when it is about to happen and bite my tongue!

Also people who start sentences with "So"

God, you'd hate me!

Is this one really so bad?? I use it when I want to corral DH/DS into some activity.

I can change. 😂

As I'm reading this thread I can feel the stress rising inside me! 😆
"no?" "much" and "discuss" are so twatty and pretentious!
I have never heard anyone talk like that in real life, only on MN.

Very, very common in Spanish. Probably because, for example, 'You have a dog' and 'Do you have a dog?' have the same wording so often adding 'no?' at the end can help the person you're speaking with to realise that you've asked a question.

You have a dog?

I'm sorry?
You have a dog, right?

I feel like this is the correct place for me to vent about my friend, who is fantastic in every way apart from his habit of ending sentences with "or?". As in: "pub tonight, or?"

OR WHAT?!!

"So" as a sentence opener is a annoying AF; usually followed by an elaborate scene-setting. It puts me off reading past the "So,...".
