The " 'diff "....

[Joe Gillis]

One of the many nuances creeping in to everyday use which I cannot stand.

I'll give you a few more examples:

"So, I was getting on the train..."

"OK, something's not right..."

"Sorry, but I disagree with you..."

This is one thing that can't be blamed on the Millennials either. I listen to the radio a lot, mainly BBC Radio 5 and there are grown men talking that way, mainly that Nihal Arthanayake who's surely in his 40s.

Anyone who puts "Yeah' on the end of every sentence.

'So I'm on my way to work yeah'

Wankers!

The diff = people who allow protesters to sit on city-centre main roads, even buying them coffees; unlike folk who haul protesters from train roofs and give them a kicking.

I suppose it sounds hip, cool. Probably comes from the same crowd who always describe any area with pubs, bars, and restaurants as 'vibrant'.

On a slightly different note, my 'generation' have always referred to 'Tudor Road', not 'Street'. Not sure of any historical context re. this oddity..

[Taunton Blue Genie]

"Work colleagues"
"Eroding away"
"Reversing back"

[Rjk]

"Work colleagues"
"Eroding away"
"Reversing back"

Superfluous tautologies?

The 'diff is cringe. It's an English student thing.
I use 'chippy lane' though.
