Kids today and their language...

[map]

Had to give the daughter a good talking to last night about her inappropriate use of language.

She was helping to fill the car washer and she asked me to 'pop the hood'

Damn Americanisms....told her in no uncertain terms it's a bonnet, you open it, and if she's not careful they'd be no chocolate for her until England win the football world cup

Just thought I'd share.
Any other sayings from the Merrycans that get to you

It's the sitcoms, I tell thee! I am guilty of saying somebody's 'pissed' instead of 'pissed off'. Whenever I say it, people think the person being referred to is drunk. I have Scrubs to blame for that particular one.

If Britain could actually make a half-decent sitcom besides Fawlty Towers, we wouldn't have a problem. But we can't, so we do.

I was at boxhill with a mate who has a WR400 last sunday and when he was ordering his food/drink he said can l "get" instead of can l "have" , my sisters 17-18y old freinds also speak alot of Nigga/street talk which bollocks anyway but quite funny when white kids start trying to speak like black rappers.

My Daughter (10 and a half) calls:-

*Rubbish - GARBAGE
*Crisps - CHIPS
*Chips - FRIES (yeah..well, ok..I will give her that one, there are McCains Fries

She also drops in little things now and then... too many for my hot, tired brain to recall at the minute

I have a 6 year old who watches a lot of american cartoons.

I don't.

So if he speaks to me in 'Americana', I honestly don't understand and he has to speak English to get his point across.

Honest

Cheers,

Byrnie.

I think they only speak it because it makes them feel hard.

Let them speak it all they want, eventually they will realise it is the reason they can't get a job because they sound like tw4ts with drug habits and can't even speak their own language correctly.

I noticed an americanisation very early yesterday morning when I was watching the rolling telly text on BBC 2. It was going on about the possibility of stoping disability benefits for certain people and it refered to it as WELFARE.

What next? Food stamps? F*cking dumb Americans, well, to be fair, their 'God told me to do it' related murders has decreased slightly in the past 5 or so years.

I was recently in the US for work, I found myself using "hood", "gas", "trunk" etc instead of the proper english as no-one understood a word I was saying

It is even better if you put on a fake "posh english" accent

My girlfriend suffers from this disease. She has undoubtedly picked it up from too much contact with celebrity magazines, american sit coms.

Recently she pronounced the word 'Jaguar' (the car) as 'Jagwwarr'. I swear to god I nearly hit her. There are some things you just don't say.

My biggest cringe moment is when yanks say Ibiza with emphasis on the "zeee" or make it sound like pizza., do they think it's spelt Eyebizza. What's wrong with pronouncing it correctly - as in Ibitha with the "I" being pronounced as "I" for "IN". Hope that makes sense
