Americanisms that People are Using Lately

"So... I'm gonna do a latte" - May I have a latte please?

"Yeah. And I'll also go a scone." - Oh. Sorry - may I add a scone to my latte order please?


What's possibly more insidious is the creeping of the American accent into Irish kids' accents via YouTube or whatever other shit they watch. My sister-in-law and her husband live in Waterford but their 5 year old young fella sounds like he's in "Saved By The Bell".

Yeah, that sounds like some form of bad English

I'm still mortified thinking of the lads in the late 90s who said "hey, how you doin'?!" anytime a pretty lady passed.
But not to their face. It was cringe inducing.

You should have shown these fellas who was boss and given them a few jabs with your plastic fork m8.

"Pass me that thing of milk."

Pass me the milk contained in that undefined vessel.

"my guy" is something I'm noticing on WOW at the moment. That game is full of Americanisms tbh.

Shrugs were more of an ancient Persian thing.

I think someone mentioned earlier about the show Friends changing how we talked here, and it did in a big way, as did Home & Away. I remember when people started saying "Anyway!" or "Okay!" while looking to the side, like Chandler Bing. We didn't do that before Friends. That's why I find very old footage of people interesting. Their mannerisms and body language, etc. Did people shrug in ancient Rome?
