2NaFish Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 My (white) mate from Texas just read your comment and called you a fool mate. Sorry. It's a southern word. Nothing to do with Compton, mean streets or anything like that. Agree that it sounds pretty daft coming from someone from Gala though. Your mate is confusing where the phrase originates from and who the people are trying to imitate. You're wrong when you say it has nothing to do with compton, etc. It's a bit of a staple of rap and hip hop. There's not many kids from gala impersonating southerners.

Bridge of Djoum Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 ''Cultured'', (usually left) foot. The words ''Hibs'' and ''Football'' sharing a sentence. Unless its, ''Hibs are shoite at football''. Blue sky thinking. Rangers F.C ''Hoops legend'' in any tabloid rag article. Also, ''My (insert z-list celeb problem) hell''. As in, PETER ANDRE... MY TOENAIL HELL. Also from the tabloids..."A source last night/close to the star said''. No they didn't, that's code for we are totally making this up. ''All our customer service reps are busy'' Aye, busy being on zero hour contracts. The Old Firm game being labelled as the biggest game in the world. The Old Firm.

2NaFish Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 http://www.urbandict....php?term=y'all Aye, ok chief. Uh-huh, that's where it's from. It's not who the people are copying. If you can show me an example of youths copying southern culture then fire away, because its fairly easy to show the extent to which rap and hip hop culture has taken hold in british culture. I must've missed all those stetsons on the estates of manchester and london. Moreoever, rap and hip hop culture has appropriated the word y'all - the south doesnt own it. In short, you've completely missed the point. But thanks from using urban dictionary as a legitimate etymological reference point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 There's a few modern football phrases that annoy me. 'Product' is one of them, as in 'people aren't going to tune in if the product isn't worth it' or something. Just say the football's shite or good and don't use wanky phrases like product to describe a game of football. 'Progressive' - normally used when any foreign manager is hired by an English Premier League club. He'll apparently play a more 'progressive' style of football, whatever the **** that means.

michael_bolton Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Speaking as a parent. Yes. Especially when commenting on some kind of horrific child abuse. For example, "Speaking as a parent, I find that story of hundreds of kids being systematically abused over decades at school X horrifying". The implication being that non-parents aren't in the slightest bit bothered. In fact, I just find parents terribly irritating in general. Especially new parents.

Don Draper Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The use of medal as a Verb. A good one, but I suspect the battle is already lost. See 'access', 'chair', 'impact' (that one still grates, and it's been in use for years) etc. Olympic-type events have a lot to answer for, in fact: medalled, podiumed, PB-ed. Bluurrgggh.

IgnatiusReilly Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 The word artisan really does my head in. Cafes that serve 'artisan' bread with their soup and 'artisan' coffee. Not that any of these places would call themselves anything as simple as a cafe. Calling it artisan doesn't make it any nicer and fools no one, we all know your bread still came from an industrial baker in Sighthill. Usually a sign of somewhere to be avoided.
