Off. It'll be a phrase they've picked up from some shite American TV series or on thon' internet thing. Today's youth and their Americanisms boil my piss no end. Heard a couple of gothy looking boys referring to two approaching policemen as 'the feds', and have also heard youngsters calling their home their 'crib'. It's 'polis' and 'hoose' for f**k's sake. Get all that shite in the bin. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 My teenage daughter uses “oh my days” regularly and to be fair i prefer her using that than “f**k sakes”. I think she got one off of the tik tok and the other off of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, he's on the radio, so presumably has to fund alternative forms of expressing discontent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I was first introduced to that phrase via Jeremie Frimpong. The mainstream seemed to bust a nut over it iirc. What a refreshing and positive young man, yada yada.. https://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/oh-my-days-frimpongs-new-catchphrase/ Edited March 10 by 2426255 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 We "yer da" types probably used Yank slang when we were young but I can't remember what. I can remember talking about dosh (for money) as a lad and my dad said to his pal "They think that's all new slang but we were using that in the 1950s" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Smartphone keyboards being too small for my fucking thumbs. Also having to text using only my thumbs on a qwerty keyboard. I used to be lightning fast on the old style of texting but now it's all just frustratingly slow and often error-strewn. Boo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Sitting in the 'quiet' lounge on a ferry, and the quiet is punctuated every few seconds by various people coughing their guts up. I'm much more aware of this these days. Not sure if it's just me getting older and more easily irritated, but aside from that, it doesn't sound healthy and if it were me I'd be concerned. It's entirely young men in their 20s & 30s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
