I for one really hate it - British people talking (and writing, going by recent reviews on this site) like they're in an episode of Friends...like, whateverrrrr.

You're not American airhead (well maybe not the first part), so don't speak like one. It's the dumbing down of our language by inarticulate people. Why would you want to come across as a simpleton? I don't find it cool to try and emulate Americans - have some pride in your own identity for fucks sake.

Some examples.

1) At the end of every sentance raising the pitch of your voice to make it sound like a question, or to suggest that you migth not understand what was just said.

'I went in to town today to do some shopping'... OK, you may be a complete fucktard, but theres no question in that, and the complexities of your shopping trip are well within the grasp of my knowledge, thanks.


2) 'I'm not going back there again. Period.'

The word is 'never', as in 'I'm never going back there again'.


3) The waving of hands Jerry Springer Show-style whern trying to make a point.

It's OK, I understand what you're saying without you having to poke me in the eye.


4) 'I'm soooo there'

Good, fuck off then.

5) 'Go figure'
