I've really started noticing it too, I think it's Martin Keown in particular likes referring to 'your Man Utds, your Chelseas, your Liverpools'.

I have found it is usually the pundits, your Nevilles, your Kevin Kilbanes and your Alan Shearers.

Well there was George Best and Leon Best, but you'd hardly lump them together.

So many of the posts on this thread are complaints about the Americanisation of British/English culture/language.

Not sure if has already been posted, but the one that most infuriates me is the term 'hating on'. Witnessed 30+ men using it on certain other forums too the fucking twats!

"Can I get a coffee to go?"

The only acceptable part of that question is 'a coffee'

Ah, well I've been dead the past 5 years, so probably why I've never heard of it.

Americanism I take it?

The term "lock down". Used by news readers who cannot be arsed to use less dramatic language.

The use of season instead of series when it comes to television programmes. This is not America.

“Dating”

Dating apps, shit dates, the whole song and dance. Never done it before and now I’ve tried it I’m glad I hadn’t. How does the species ever end up procreating when we’ve normalised this bollocks as the mating dance?
