language trends, LOIKE (3 Viewers)

I don't wear dubarrys but I do say "like" at the end of a sentence.... i just can't help it

I noticed skangers in my class, whenever ignored, say "god yed swear i was black!" now it seems to have caught on to the rest of the student body and they say it after the most stupidest things.
"I'm sorry Claire, but there is no foundation level German"
"WHA? yed swear i was black!"
???

anybody notice any new language trends?

I started saying "supposibly" like joey in friends a few years ago and now i can't stop.

I curse like a sailor. Sometimes it's embarassing. Also, when I'm in work I talk with a much thicker Dublin accent than outside. I know loads of people do this.

I know a dude who says 'word up G' and 'chiggedy check ya later' and other such sapurrrrban hip hoppities. He started doing it to take the piss but now he does it all the time in normal speak without even realising it.
I've been trying to do this with 'buhinanywaysbuh', but my mouth and brain just won't catch onto it.

everyone round our way speaks "jive" too.

Tangent, but I just found this interesting list.

And by 'interesting' I mean 'probably not very interesting, unless you're a linguist'...

People who saw " there does be" instead of 'there is' or 'there was' is spreading like wild fire and annoys the fuck out of me.

I curse like a cunt too, never realised how bad it is until I'm surrounded by really young or really old people.

I started saying 'giddy up' instead of yes years ago I suspect it was Kramer from sienfelds fault and now I can't stop.

I also say Hieno, C'berg or MGD by the neck for Heiniken, Carlsberg or a bottle of Miller because I heard a lad say it in Gleesons once!!!
When I say it I'm being all ironic and cool but I still get some hateful looks from lads who think I'm being serious..

I've taken to saying cat instead of person too but thats a good thing.

 

[RSJ]

Irony is very dangerous where language is concerned. Very dangerous.

 

[wild_cat]

eh... Some people in my class say

" b da bugal child" , its also the best saying EVER!!

Isn't this a result of a too-literal translation from irish to english?

nobody ever says "cat" when referring to something bad anymore (ref: "it's cat when the dog dies").

and nobody ever seems to be shittin' bricks any more. or talking to me / chewin a brick, for that matter.

I have one thing to say to the lot'oyiz

also, calling someone immature in a disparaging fashion as a deathly insult seems to have fallen from favour too.

My boss says "thankin' you". And has said when asked how she is - "not three bad, not three bad".

 

[Buzzo]

Yes, yes it is.

As is the way Irish people say 'I'm after' before a verb e.g. I'm after doing the dishes/ I'm after going to the shops instead of I've done/gone.

Big Swingin Mickey is one of my favourites. It says so much in onny 3 words.

 

[pete]

Also observed a definite fall-off in sitting on that and swivelling.

 

[krystal]

jesusssss pete, you're SooooooOOoooooOOooooo immature

i've also noticed a distinct lack of requests to hang one's bollocks on all and sundry
