Racism the PC brigade have made it meaningless by using it in inappropriate ways, far too often. It's a throw-away comment by imbeciles who have no other defence.

Never noticed this and to me it sounds like people losing their patience with the person listening, which can be rude but if the person isn’t listening or trying to absorb what’s being said then that’s what they’ll get. Probably wouldn’t know it’s verging in rude anyway. In lots of ways people are getting thicker but believe they’re becoming more knowledgeable through their right on spoon fed bilge and daily thing to be collectively offended by and be part of the collective.

SO. Used at the start of every sentance by virtually everybody, but, especially, interviwees on telly. The so thing has never bothered me but I think it depends on how long the sssssssssssssooooo goes on for, particularly the ‘s’. A bit long and it’s a basic way of trying to control the conversation, which is sometimes necessary. Too long and it’s being over controlling and rude and the person comes across as an annoying tw@t. A very short so I barely notice. Just probably confirming what’s been said being agreed or moving the conversation on because it’s necessary at the time. Edited by Rudi Hedman (05 Feb 2020 8.36am)

The like thing is widespread in America and it’was a thing for young people in northern towns, but no need to spread it across the Home Counties. We just switch off or you get talked about after. I’ve come to accept: He was like

Morons.

When being asked what someone does for a living... "I'm a social media influencer". That's not a job you cnut, get a real one. "So I turned around and said".... what?! so you weren't facing them when you were talking to them?! "Did you see so and so's Instagram Story?". No, don't care, not even sure what that is, fcuk off. Most terms of endearment used by the 'yoot' such as "bruv, blood, fam, cuz". Not really a fan of 'son' either, especially when used so frequently by some, such as Jimmy Bullard. Finally, anyone who says they give anything more than 100%. It's not possible so not only are you a liar, you are also mathematically inept.

The blud and Fam thing I just switch off to since it’s not my community of people who obviously don’t want to be part of my community. I say that sadly is their choice, mostly now. The ‘bruv’ thing is very annoyingly used by young white boys who either aren’t aware or don’t care that we think they sound like complete imbeciles. It even sounds thick before you analyse it more. I suppose all of these things aren’t the individuals fault because the collective has decided this is how it’s going to be via the original muppets thinking something is cool, but for their sake they need to drop it when they get to ‘like’ (about) late 20’s would you say? And white boys sounding like black rappers and gangsters. Feck off. Get yourself ready to start an apprenticeship without sounding a right tw@t when you get there, or a young chelsea fan, because their young fans do now. No wonder people move out of London.

Working on social media, selling and promoting goods is big business now and I’d commend anyone for spotting the opportunity and seizing it while they can scoop up loads of people before it might get harder. It’s the reality celebrity types talking about it on tv that annoy me. Well it’s just them, not the industry sector then I suppose. Take Gok Wan (not literally) Knowledgeable and talented. Good for him. Any other reality tv no mark? Feck off to telemarketing or some sh1t. This does nothing to help us turn the country round from being focused on consumerism rather than producing, not that the government have stuck to that matter since 2008 or 2010.

Edited by Rudi Hedman (05 Feb 2020 9.03am) Or until the social media bubble bursts. I am expecting it to carry on for a while but eventually people will find better things to do. It's the biggest waste of space I have seen in my 34 years and whilst I dabbled on facebook at Uni (it had a purpose then) not been near it since. If I don't see someone in person regularly, or speak to them on the phone, I am not going to want to see your holiday pics, dinner photos or baby snaps. The only exception really is family/friends who have emigrated. But then just use Whatsapp (I appreciate that is owned by FB and arguably social media too)
