I have noticed over the last 30 yrs that the youngsters in work are increasingly using more and more US phrases, apparently one of them coming in to work "pissed" isn't the same as it used to be. Don't get me started on coffee shops

Inevitable really, given the amount of American culture we get over here.
I reckon they're the "Disney Channel" generation
lets touch base on this subject
Rookie now being heard a lot for debutants. Hate the word.
The use of " Impact ".
The next tw*t who comes in the pub and says to the barman "can I get" when asking for drinks, is going to get chucked through the facking window, argh, does my head in.
Reach out, as in can you reach out to someone
When I was in the states recently I was walking down the street with my Mrs and coming towards me was some random bloke in his 30's with his mrs.
About 6 feet away he put his hand in the air, a bit bemused I carried on walking only to hear him shout "aw hey man, don't leave me hangin' "
Starting a sentence with "So" as in "So, I was driving to work....." it seems to be used as a way of getting what u want say out as abruptly as possible and without any consideration if the person you are talking to wants to hear it.
People who use Best instead of Regards when signing off an email.
Not sure if thats an Americanism but its annoying
