Yes, one of those really annoying phrases which has crept in - normally used by those who copy others to gain favour, pathetic.

Some people say, "Open a Can of Whoop ***" to mean they will sort you out - I can think of nothing scarier ...... oooooooooo please don't open a can of whoop *** I would take the can and shove it up their childish rears!!!!

What about some of the saying we hear in this country? Some of them wind me right up:

Safe blood <translation - Everything is well my friend>

Ya get me <translation - Do you understand what I am saying> er, no!

Wa-gwaan <translation - What is going on / hello>

Feel free to add to the list

Someone actually called me "Cat" the other day, used in the context of "hows it goin cat" - er meow

That annoys me too. Also, it annoys me when people say i'm fed up of rather than i'm fed up with.

I find it annoying when people pretend they've done something as a wind up when criticised for their words or actions.

Thank you!! "My bad", pales in comparison to some of the ways UK citizens often assault the Queens English:

Bust me a fiver - "please would you lend me five pounds"
You Dissin me? - " Are you saying something derogatory about me?"
I blow you - "I will shoot you"....I know, I thought it was an offer of a sexual favour too!

All of them make me cringe!!!

Oh, blast from the past, who remembers:

"Sorted!"

I still use "Sorted" as a reminder of the good days of growing up LOL

I hate the "My Bad" and "Wag wan" crowd. Trying to be American Gangsters etc... People should be growing up wanting to be anything but really.

When I moved back from America I used to say it a lot, Until my girlfriend bitch slapped it out of me.
It was basically an over complicated way of saying oops.

Yes agreed, I was on a course in London and this utter **** who I was sat next to picked it up over the week, he also started to say "Can I get" when ordering lunch as some of the London based people said it.

Some say it means "My Mistake" I hear it as "I am a complete **** with no imagination, am very imprressionable, gullible and over eager, please ignore everything I say from this point henceforth or punch me in the genitals"
