Lamia Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Similar for other regional accents aswell. Aberdonian with "fit like" and what is a 'Quine' exactly ? Dundonian with Eh and peh. Numerous others from different areas could be brought up. Worst for me is the cockney slang. Apples and Pears and Frog and Toad. ???? Also as a Scotsman down here, occasional told to speak the Queens. Now that does get on my nerves ! We should be celebrating our regional dialects, they are part of our culture.

jock strap Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 We should be celebrating our regional dialects, they are part of our culture. Of course we should. Respect all and all that. Are you honestly saying that no regional phrases confuse or bug you ? I only get annoyed with the " speak the queens " comment. I get confused by others but respect them all the same.

sbcmfc Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Talking about phrases that are utter nonsense and mean nothing: Scotrail would like to apologise. Did I mention "technical problems/difficulties" earlier in this thread? Gets my goat that one, as its effectively blaming me for what's often user error or the likes.

Pool Q Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 "The Dam" for Amsterdam rather than just the square. It just sounds wanky. Agreed. "Take cognisance of..." One of the worst that is. When you hear it being used the if you aren't thinking 'Aye aye, we've got a complete wankstain here' then your not thinking much of anything at all. 'Craft beer'. I can only speak from personal experience here, but anyone using this phrase is probably someone who has been drinking beer for about 5 minutes in the scheme of things (roughly since he started waxing his beard), and who in reality knows next to nothing about it, but feels the need to pretend that he does.
