"Help me to help you" invariably said in a moment when I am asking for assistance. How does that work????

26 pages of replies and I haven't read them all so forgive if all ready mentioned (and if it hasn't been mentioned why not!!)

"Baby Bump" makes me want to puke. It's being pregnant!

No problem...

"No problem..." Of course it's not a problem, so why say it?!

Or putting the word LIKE into everything. "Know what I mean...LIKE." "I was feeling really tired...LIKE..."

OK, a little different here but still annoying:

Having to say "WWW" before Internet addresses.

Seems like a gigantic waste of syllables and it is rather laborious. I'm with Stephen Fry: we should start saying "wuh wuh wuh" instead of "double U double U double U". lol

Years ago, a friend said 'Dub, Dub, Dub' instead of 'Double U', etc for that. Took me a minute to realise what he was talking about......

And one that really gets me every time here in England:

"I said I was going to the movies"
"Was you?"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol When I was living in London I worked as a nanny for a few years and some pregnant mums would refer to their babies as "the bump". I remember getting emails that ended "kisses from me and the bump" [huh]

It's very corny in a tweenage "Dearest Diary, mine eyes have just discovered and devoured Jane Austen/the Brontë sisters, and am I not ever so much more Romantic (with, methinks, a capital 'R') than those vainglorious wenches who weep at the mere glimpse of Jonas Brothers and pen foolhardy hearts above their lowercase i's?"
