Americanisms that People are Using Lately

[Great-Bit-O-Stuff]

Anyone heard any Britishisms?

I've heard "Oh, my days!" twice from Irish people.

Nice finds.

Another one I've heard a young relative use is "or no" instead of "or not".

Are you going to the shop, or no?

Is dinner ready yet, or no?

Spanish influence on American English. "¿O no?

Not as dumb as you look, Lee

Irish people saying siblings seems an American thing.
Can you imagine an irish mother saying '' go and tell your siblings to come in for their dinner ''?

Cockney rhyming slang :
Porkies - pork pies - lies
Brown bread - dead

Embarrassing from anyone other than a Cockney.

Very well known Americanism is "kicking the can down the road" or " stop drinking the kool aid".

Yeah. Maybe thirty or forty years ago.

Just hitting Ireland now?

"Search up"
I fucking detest that this has become normalised.
It's just "search" you fucking cretin!

 

[Ghoti]

"You're throwing me under the bus"/"Threw him under the bus"

Basically, it means shafting someone.

Getting very popular.

Also, the protest chant of "Hey-hey, ho-ho, something I don't like has got to go!" has come directly from American campuses.
