Re: New Expressions You Hate
Up for grabs is one I absolutely detest!
They even say it on the BBC News now and other "americanisms" which are not really relevant or even up-to-date in the US as far as I can tell.
"Gimme five" or "press the flesh" - that's just weird in the UK!
Also, we don't have dollars so why is
Big Bucks used, or
Grand for thousand - that always reminds me of old gangster films!
I've never really understood
Way to Go either - where does that come from?
Occasionally though I heard that "
Know what I mean" is making a comeback - pronounced "
Naaaartameen"!! stevmk2
