'You did great' on things like Dancing on Ice...

[MaryAnnSingleton]

...and similar phrases - so lazy !

or 'You did brilliant'...

we are becoming more and more americanised. i 'spect the world will end next

maybe ChristopHer Dean has spent too much time in Canada ?

'Would you like a cup of tea?'

'No, I'm good'.

I catch myself saying this at work and I want to kill myself. I think it's because I work with yout'.

oh yes, that drives me quite mad - sometimes ds will say something similar and I have to correct him ( usually,'no,I'm alright' if I ask him if he'd like a drink)

Or in a shop: "Can I get...?" instead of "May I have...?"

aaarrrghhhh

I have responded to a thread before re the 'I'm good' nonsense.

I have this conversation most days with my DH.

Me "Hello darling, how are you?"

DH "I'm good"

Me "I wasn't asking you if you had been well behaved, I was enquiring about your state of being."

Arrgh! He works in meeja and is surrounded by yoof, perhaps that is the problem.

He is not a pleb either, well brought up and well spoken (top Public School) so there is absolutely no excuse.

My forty-something brother, by way of admitting he had made a minor error recently uttered the appalling phrase 'My bad'.

?? My bad?! I have never heard that before!! Where (or what) does that derive from? (Sorry, I'll rephrase given the location of this thread : "from where (or what) does that derive?") )

He lives in California. Which may explain it.

give it a couple of years and we'll allll be saying it...

Leave Christopher Dean alone!!! I love him and he can do no wrong (have loved him since 1981, I'm no Dancing on Ice newcomer btw!)

And he lives in Colorado, worse luck...

i hate dancing on ice/x factor things.

i really really hate with a passion 'i'm loving ...'

My bad!? What does it mean? Is it 'I'm not ok?'

Dd says 'It was so fun!' grrrr
and also saw 'euuwwww!' instead of 'yuck.

'My bad' appears to me: 'No, not at all old chap, my fault entirely.'

mean, that is, not me
