Nookie Bear Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 And Edinburgh airport security staff constantly calling people 'pal'. It's bad enough saying it to a male but just not on to a female. And telling you which queue to join as they call people 'yous'. "Yous" No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooperstar Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Any one that uses the word 'yous' is a pig ignorant turd in my book. You leaves room for ambiguity when used as a plural. I occasionally use yous knowing that it is technically incorrect but comfortable that it avoids any confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_bolton Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Shocking. When did all this pish start ? Another one is wanks starting each sentence with 'So'. Does my brain in. This gets up a lot of noses, but I don't really understand why. 'So' is a very useful discourse marker in the English language. It allows people to naturally change topic, introduce new information, start a story etc. Speech would sound very unnatural if people stopped saying it. I do often find myself wondering about words such as 'yous'. Obviously, it doesn't sound good. But English is lacking a second person plural pronoun, and 'yous' makes perfect sense from a language learner's point of view. Perhaps in the future 'yous' will become part of standard English? It wouldn't be a huge surprise. So, that's what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye go on then. 00.30 standing wrecked in the kebab shop ordering donner meat, chips and cheese. Rough as toast today. I'm seriously considering going to my local to watch the Scotland game on my tod tonight as I know what will happen if I meet mates. Absolutely despising hangovers these days.

Thaw Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I tend to fall on the side of, Peter's an employee at a small shop with limited resources. A significant fraction of those resources are going to pay the wages of a man who isn't putting a shift in, and whose presence isn't deterring shoplifting--the whole reason his position exists in the first place, his one job. Therefore it is absolutely Peter's business, as this state of affairs may have a negative impact on his potential for continued employment and pay raises, improvements to the store which bring in more business, etc. I am guessing that a small shop which employs a security guard will be one of the larger chains, and that the resources being spent on him therefore won't directly affect Peter's future prospects. I don't see how it isn't Peter's business, though, given that he will probably also be expected to play his part in preventing shoplifting, and quite likely won't have any confidence in the man to protect him if he actually feels physically threatened at any point. Peter, have you ever pointed out a potential shoplifter to this guy and asked him to intervene, or do you assume this would be a waste of your time? I'd say you were well within your rights to make the manager aware, or if he has a different manager, ask your manager to raise it with his manager.

Thaw Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) PS. I tend to think the stigma associated with 'grassing' is mainly used by arseholes and chancers to protect themselves. The type of grassing I don't like is when someone reports something that has literally nothing to do with them, out of a desire to get at someone they don't like, or to improve their own prospects at the expense of the other person. In this case, however, it's entirely the guy's own fault if he gets 'grassed' on, just the same as if he had committed a crime.
