UGLY USE OF THE LANGUAGE
So Why do people start a reply with this word ?
You guys But some among us are women!
To be honest Aren’t you usually honest then?
No problem I know it isn’t so why say it?
Like I say Do you?
There you go Do I? Where?
I’m good Maybe but I asked you how you are
Very much so Do you mean ‘YES’ ?
Know what I’m saying Err yes - I do speak English !
I’m going to go Ugly tautology – just say’ I’m going’
Have a nice day. Don’t tell me what to do!
Enjoy your meal Don’t tell me what to do!
Lets give it up for… Give what up? Do you mean ‘let’s applaud’..?
An accident waiting to happen How can it be waiting - it doesn’t exist
Probably not a poem but what the heck!
Just a few of the phrases/idioms/cliches
which I find so ugly and annoying
and which populate modern speech .
They really make my teeth grate: I avoid
them like the plague. I love this language
too much.
Does anyone want to add to the list?
