My pet peeves include 'Rest room'. I want a dump, not a rest.

I hate the fact I now have to order a "regular Americano." What ever happened to a medium sized coffee? |
Having finally grasped that the coffee I want is internationally known as an Americano, I asked for one in a cafe in Long Beach, California. The guy looked at me like I was from Mars. If that wasn't enough, the egg and bacon I ordered came as an egg bagel. |

One that use to get my goat, was after giving directions, they would turn around and say "Are you sure".
One woman gave me a funny look, when i turned around and answered, "not anymore". |

I don't know if this is an Americanism, but somone using the word "irregardless" makes me want to go on a killing spree

Round these parts, "Got" is the initiation of any reasonable conversation that leads to friendly commerce:
"Got burgers and fries?"
"Got any corn likker out back?"
"Got a fiddler in the band here tonight?"
etc., etc. |

I find it all a bit insulting and I hope this thread won't become one for bashing Americans.
I haven't even heard some of those phrases used. America is a big place, with lots of regional terms. We don't all speak the same way.
From the comments:
Quote: |
From an American perspective - most of the listed examples of bad grammar are still considered to be bad grammar in the US. Also I get that weird Americanisms probably drive people nuts in the UK, but do you realize how many crazy slang words people say over there? They must be making up new ones every few days! |
and
Quote: |
"I could care less" isn't an Americanism, it's just a grammatical error.
As for "that'll learn you" - I think that's more a product of Britain than anywhere!
And what the hell is wrong with "train station"? Haven't they always been called trains?!
This is a pretty ridiculous list - half of the things on it I don't believe are even Americanisms. They're just things people don't like. |

Concur. I spent time in the UK and never got used to "the lot."
During my Air Force days I worked with an RAF exchange officer. One day he needed a pencil eraser. He wondered why he got a drop-jaw thirty second stare from the secretary when he asked her for a rubber.
As others pointed out, many of the expressions on the BBC list are regionalisms, and others most Americans find appalling (e.g., "my bad"). I understand that English has more dialects than any other other language, and most of them are in the UK. Inevitably, everybody is going to find something bewildering or aggravating when they move beyond their own region.
And what about that annoying Australian habit of turning nouns into diminutives? ("Pokie" or "barbie.") |

As an American, I have my own pet peeves about what some people do to the language. My kids always use the phrase "me and him" which makes me cringe every time. I've tried to scold it out of them without success.
Ima wrote: |

Not to mention expressions. How many of my non-American friends know what any of the following mean?
- Wet your whistle.
- Rode hard and put up wet.
- A duck on a June Bug.
- Barking up the wrong tree.
- Fish or cut bait.
- Go whole hog.
- A bump on a log.
- Mend fences.
- Stomping grounds.
- Bust my chops.
I'm sure English speakers in other parts of the world have plenty of their own expressions that would be absolutely meaningless to me. This would include Caribbean speakers of "the King's English" who, aside from having their own unique expressions, possess the most beautiful accent of all English speakers, IMHO. |
