basically when it is used in instances which are anything but sudden

SOZ is great, especially when used as a verb when breaking something. "I sozzed your video player trying to pause on a frame of Basic Instinct".


I fucking hate, "At the end of the day", "Know what I'm sayin'" and when "Shit" is used to replace any/all words in a sentence, usually by West coast American's if the posters on here are anything to go by. I actually rather like the last one though as it makes me chuckle somewhat.

"How's you?" has been a greeting in parts of the UK for decades, Lincolnshire particularly. They also use "Now then" as a greeting.
