I suppose it comes from living in a 1989 cocoon of "real" English - the year I fled the country. <br />I do try and watch films and other programmes in English when I can so as to try and keep up with language changes, but I'd not heard that one yet. What I have heard and hate though is when people ask "How are you?" - and someone answers "I'm good"! <br />I've spent 25 years teaching people that this is wrong (I'm well, fine, not too bad, fair to middling, being acceptable options) but as soon as you switch on the BBC you hear presenters saying "yeah, I'm good" ...Gggrrrr!!<br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-39803139927668737332013-09-26T12:52:48.312+01:002013-09-26T12:52:48.312+01:00'Literally'. As in 'It was literally ...'Literally'. As in 'It was literally the most disastrous news we could have had'. Or 'The overuse of the word 'literally' is figuratively making me sick'. <br />In the old days all we got was 'it was literally raining cats and dogs' and the ilk. Now, I think it's literally worse.<br />Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-89221071566822400962013-09-26T10:53:40.586+01:002013-09-26T10:53:40.586+01:00Not any standouts...oops, my bad.Not any standouts...oops, my bad.David Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260130060172457192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-48312723163383668002013-09-26T09:48:16.600+01:002013-09-26T09:48:16.600+01:00That's a new one on me Carol.
