GallowayBlue Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 The phrase "inside baseball" seems to be creeping into usage in the UK. Also not sure if it's an Americanism but I have been hearing "grinds my gears" a lot recently and it sounds like it should be an Americanism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American gamers are also fond of using "unfun" to describe tedious game mechanics, which just is not a word. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm this is common now, usually followed up by ‘we’re the polis no the fbi ya dafty’. I do recall the first time a white middle class wrong yin called me ‘blud’ it gave me a laugh. I do think sadly people cling on to americanisms and this fuels their outrage, ‘probable cause’ to stop a car, erm no the road traffic act does that. Sports presenters i feel are very much driving the americanisation too, talking about ‘assists’ etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i'll celebrate by watching the greatest thanksgiving movie ever made and laughing like a drain. It's not americanization though cos big John Candy wasn't (US) American. Pretty much a Christmas dinnr but nae sprouts. Some green bean casserole thing instead. Dessert was the highly rated pumpkin pie she knocks up from scatch every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
