People that use the word "lush" and aren't talking about grass complete f***ing nobbers

'Pulled Pork'..................................Everything's pulled sodding pork these days ....

Is it just me, or do any of these modern "buzz-phrases" really get up your nose ?   Are you fed up of hearing about "iconic" buildings ? Had enough of talent show contestants going on "an amazing jo

 

 

 

Regional dialect is great.....i like all the different patter you get from different areas i find it interesting.....its good that tradition still holds strong in certain areas.............but these nauseating muggy fad words that seem to catch on nationwide i just find revolting the main one for me being when middle aged men start addressing other middle aged men as " fella ".... " bud "....." geez " :censored: ....it makes me want to just reach over and rip their throat out !!!

 

There's been a similar thread before. I remember 'fella' being a popular hated word. I use it a fair bit and suddenly became dead conscious of using it. LOL.

 

But decided f**k it, can't please everyone. We all have stuff that grinds on others I guess.

 

Where i come from 'Fella' is a real old phrase the old timers use...i find my self using it a lot...the other stuff youngsters insert in their speech just amuses me more than annoys..but the one phrase that really pisses me off is....'Poorly'... as in hes feeling poorly....just makes the ill person sound a right poof!

 

Is it used to actually address someone though ?.....would it replace simple " mate " ?...................ive often said it in the context " i saw some fella walking down the road "...........but never " alright fella how you doing "......that just grates on me.

 

Thinking about it no...use it as in... a baby/kid would be a 'young fella'...always called me dad 'oldfella'...never really thought about it that deeply before

The one that really, really gets to me (and its the only way i can think of to describe it) is the rise in voice pitch at the end of a sentence, so that every statement sounds like a question.....that annoys the living 5hit out of me !

I'm getting angry just thinking about it !!

That Australian style / California vegan intonation kills me in films
The upward infliction? The one that makes it sound like every sentance they say is a question? That one drives me dull and all..

I'm not sure about the rest of the army, but In my corps using the dreaded 'fella' word or f bomb is a sign of belittlement or over familiarity.....

 

For example i you walk into a room of sprogs , you would address them as fellas to immediately let them know, your in charge, but you'd never do it on a daily basis, just once.

 

Or if the squadron were all out on a Thursday night and the block got smashed up or fire alarms set, the Seargent major or QM might say "right fellas, no one leaves for home until the culprit steps forward "

 

Fellahin is a fine line, use it once in a while and you will be makes as someone who knows the score and how to cut to the quick en masse......bit use it often..and your a c**t
