EG "Can i get a pint of stella please?" WRONG

I used to work in a restaurant and it really pissed me off that everyone says it, now I'm finding I say it
Curse myself every time it slips out, but it's a fucking insidious one this! It's makes everyone seem so rude!

Similar gripe with football idiots referring to a pitch as a 'park".

Ha, all of these.
And fucking "messy" as well, I actually understand it when these people are taking a ton of drugs and things get disgusting. But people say it now when they're just going to the pub for a couple of drinks, even girls like you said above. "Going to be a messy nite 2nite torlrorlololllllllllmaolllllll!" etc. etc.
I don't get the "can I have/get" thing to be honest, what's the problem? I work in bars and that, it's never bothered me in the slightest.

I think this is the first one I've never heard. Agreed on the girls front... I hate to be sexist, but ladies, I really don't need to hear you and your mates giggling about Laura getting her pasty smashed.

they're just shortened versions of long words made up by public school girls and passed around uni enough for it to make it into mainstream language now

you're right on cadge their jimmy boy
'caj' is with a soft 'j'... if it was a hard 'j' it would be 'cadge' but if you said 'casual' in two parts 'cas' 'ual' then 'caj' would be the first part see?

"ye'naht a-meen brav"
"get meh"
Hate these with a passion. Its not language! Also people saying "like" before and after every word.
at the end of the day It doesn't even mean anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
