At this moment in time...(expressions that P*** us off)

[HHTel]

"My bad!"

Where the hell did that come from? Probably the US.

[pharvey]

"Rocked up" or "Rock up"........ WTF?

[Lost]

'My truth'. Ugh! When used it eradicates the need for any actual facts regarding a past event. 'Oh, if that's your truth, then we shan't question it.'

[migrant]

"feel me" the latest from urban America

[HHTel]

Just recently come across that one, migrant. I had to ask google. Apparently it means "Do you understand me".
If a girl said that to me, I'd get arrested for my subsequent action!!

[thecolonel]

I want to say.....

"oh yes, I stayed in that hotel, ooh I want to say, 6 months ago?"

Where the hell did that come from?

Another "Americanism", maybe not heard so much here: "Appreciate It"

[dtaai-maai]

Talking of Americanisms, another one I hear almost all the time these days, even by journalists and interviewers, is 'I guess' instead of 'I suppose'.

(Oh dear, I seem to have opened a can of worms! )

And another Americanism that has crept into the UK

"Sick!" (meaning Cool or Excellent)

For me this is number one with a bullet. Simply encapsulates the coastal American's fantasied narcissism and self-centredness. "I believe it, so it's true".

That one is an Aussieism.

Thought it was as the first time I heard it was whilst in Sydney - but the phrase seemed to be everywhere from then on..... I just put it down to the fact that much like being fashionable, I'm somewhat unaccomplished in the art of using slang!!

[thecolonel]

People who refer to their lives(or part thereof) as a 'journey'

"I'm still on my incredible journey"

Usually whilst still in the same place they were born and went to school

Oh, do **** off!

We’re all on a journey - there’s a beginning and an end, so the middle bit is the one you need to concentrate on!!

So, is “whilst” like a throwback to whenever? I thought we moved on to “while.”
Just saying…
