Likewise, my local Tesco in Hastings have ‘quarantined’ the trolleys and you can only get them once in the store, where the handles and touch points have all been cleaned.
Also there is a sanitising station on the way in.

I don't like that idea either some people need a trolley to lean on when waiting in the queue for ages.
Of course then the dispensers would be too easy to steal?
Starting every sentence with "Basically" or "To be honest" Why wouldn't you be honest? Another cracker is "For me personally" Surely "me" is "personal" in this context? A new one Mrs J heard the other day was even more bizarre "So fun" The person she heard said "It was so fun" what's that all about? Can't think of any more just now, but I will as soon as I click the post button.
Unfortunately this is true. The very bad in some people rises to the top. You don’t need to be cynic to observe this. Off topic, in our village it was reported a white van staking the joint and when the guy was found in someone’s garden, confronted he said he did garden work and gave a card. Yep, card phone number was a dud. There were other attempted break ins.
Very sad that the thieving fraternity come out to play in times like this.....
Bloody hell Jock, I can hear myself here
. A newer saying for me is from across the pond, the word SUPER, everything seems to be super no matter what!!!!!! I was super excited, super cool, things are not just fine, they are super exuberant, super expensive, what a super experience. It’s used a lot over here
I’m not at all too super about this:bang:
Langauge evolves, it's like so radical fam and you should be super excited about it
You can’t resist can you ?
Exactly.
Language evolves.
I rather enjoy reading late Victorian literature; both the use of language and the attitudes of the then-contemporary society seem rather quaint today, and the writing would be considered verbose by modern standards.
If you're bored during lockdown (see, that's bringing it back to topic), you might start with a personal recommendation; this, from 1897. And if you haven't already discovered Project Gutenberg, I'd recommend you check it out - over 60,000 books available to either read online or download in a format to suit your device, all free and all perfectly legal.

Erm, I think we all know that. Most have things that annoy. Slightly tongue in cheek, if you don’t want to play that’s up to you...
I suppose I should admit that when I was much younger and my sister introduced me to her, then, new, American, boyfriend, He was always saying "NO WAY" I thought this was very "cool" and deliberately tried to work it into as many conversations as I could. How very "sad". I also started calling my father "Pop", which I think really quite annoyed him but, greatly to his credit, he never took me to task over it.

I found it annoying when people would reply "yeah, yeah, yeah" when agreeing with something.
I think the most annoying to me are 'like' and 'you know'.
Don't tell me what it is like, tell me what it is.
No, I don't know, that's why I'm expecting you to tell me.
Interjecting someone's speech with "similar to?", and just "no" tends to confuse the speaker a treat.

I went to school not so far away from Aberdeen for nearly 4 years so I'm not too bad with the local dialect:

Worked for an Aberdonian for nearly 15 years too but, sorry, being a mere Lowlander/Borderer, I can't make any sense of this. Can you "translate" for me?
regards

Cant vouch for it 100% but it should tramslate to "Which is no bad thing"
when there was a pump soap shortage our tesco drilled a hole in the ones in the toilet and put a security tag on them.

Scientific or pseudo scientific people starting their reply to every question with the word "SO". The use of "INAPPROPRIATE", as it covers everything from genocide to not changing underwear often enough. "LOCKDOWN" which used to be lockup, isolation or quarantine in the U.K.Etc., etc.Probably an age thing.
