Heres Rixxy Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Anyone think the word 'random' is used waaay too much these days? When previously words like 'weird' 'strange' 'odd' would be used in a situation, everything now is just 'random'. Another one is 'actually', normally used when not even applicable, actually...

Isaac Begbie Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 One of my mates calls everyone "dude". "Alright Dude, hows it going?"

Stewart MacD Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Like, absolutely, dude,hey? I think it's mainly kiwis who seem to end every sentence with an interrogatory "hey?", but the use of "absolutely" instead of a simple "yes" is everywhere on the airwaves, including the Beeb.

Cigaro Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Finishing sentences with but, when you know you aren't going to say anything after it. I despise that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgiewave Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The OP used another, as it happens: "waaay" or even just "way". I prefer "far". What would be wrong with far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart MacD Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Not a fan of people putting "mate" at the end of every sentence when talking to a man. Even if it is a friend of mine. I'm with you all the way there. It's worse here, where it's inserted at the beginning, middle and end of most sentences, and usually by total strangers. And friends here constantly repeat your name when talking to you, even if there are only the two of you present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 "to be honest......" or "I'm not gonna lie......" When someone is about to say something to me, i'm going to presume that they will be saying something that is not a lie! I have business dealings with someone who says, "Let's be honest now" far too much for my liking. Does it mean that she knows she's not about to tell the whole truth and this is a nervous acknowledgement of the fact or does it mean she's about to be truthful but for the rest of our conversation, she's been making it all up?
