Acey Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Had a bad day, Acey ?? Nah - only got up at 5pm; haven't had time to have a bad day yet! Just thinking about annoying expressions; "fella" has snuck under the radar recently into everyday conversation. This isn't Yorkshire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJack Horseman Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm partial to the odd chief. Dude doesn't sit too right at the end of a sentence. I'll let you have it as a greeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wattie Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Nah there's nothing wrong with most of these suggestions, but ONLY if it forms part of your regional dialiect. For example: my boss, from Preston, occasionally refers to me as "fella". No problem. It is NOT ok for a Scotsman to use this term. Ever. What I do have a problem with though, is being called "sweetheart"...by a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leginten Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 The worst of all is that staple of Eastenders-speak "mate", which unfortunately seems to be used almost universally in all walks of life. It is a relative newcomer to these parts, but such is the power of the mass media that its spread has been irresistible. A horrible word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makween Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I quite like calling people Amanda and watching them be confused.

Stewart MacD Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I haven't noticed the use of "fella" here, but loathe "dude" (pron. dood) and dislike the universality in Oz of "mate". My top hate is Buddy/bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
