Not so much a phrase but a way of speaking?
Where every sentence goes up at the end?
No matter what the meaning is?
Making it sound like a question when it isn't?
That makes me want to scream?

The rising inflection has been with us for at least 15 years now, and yes, I find it highly irritating as well - it seems to show no signs of going out of use. :cry:

That's a character defect/weakness - seeking concurrence with every sentence.

Actually lads you are both wrong. This is typical of antipodean speech. Aussies and kiwis always sound as though they are asking a question by raising tone at the end of a sentence. rolleyes

Yes, but not only, Bf:
quote from Wikipedia article:
Although it is ridiculed in Britain as 'Australian Questioning Intonation' and blamed on the popularity of Australian soap operas among teenagers, Rising Inflection is also a feature of several UK regional dialects, particularly those of Bristol, East Anglia and Northern Ireland

On a positive note I'm glad that the use of the word 'fucking this' and 'fucking that' sounds so twattish these days.
Maybe it's just me. dunno

"You're a Legend"
Elvis was a Legend. Maybe a few of the great pioneers who have given us things we now rely on could be also be called legends. Not the guy who’s just downed 17 pints of Stella and is now setting fire to his Reeboks.
Is a legendary person a fictional charactor like say, King Arthur or Robin Hood?
"I'm such a keeno"
I remember when i finaly emegerged back into the nightlife hearing this phrase used everywhere and having no idea what it meant because it had appeared in my absense. It means what it sounds like, a "keeno" is someone who is keen....I've been hearing this more and more often, i'm worried it might just be the next "Blatently"
No way! Has a phrase come about because of me. How cool is that? Well mega cool. In fact tatters or butters.
No hang on are you having a sly dig at me? hmmmmm basicaly I'm going to have to think about this so, whatever?
Can anyone else think of anything thay they have heard or they themselves said that they would like to see written on a piece of paper and tossed into the nearest fire?

Legendary adj.
1. Of, constituting, based on, or of the nature of a legend.
2. Celebrated in legend.
3. Extremely well known; famous or renowned
I guess the man down the pub could be considered legendary. "A legend in his own lunchtime"

Finishing a sentence with "Hun or "Babe"...i hate them!

Finishing or starting. Hate them both. More so when it's a total stranger in the chatroom or by PM. I'm not your babe - save that shit for your wife.
Especially annoying when you meet them IRL and they don't ever use the words. It's just an internet false affection thing and it won't wash with me.
The abbreviation is "bbz" and I despise that.
I do tend to call people "chicken" though. IRL too. Soz, like.

Oooh, you've got me started now! :lol:
There are several other strange linguistic habits only used in online chat which get me mad:
The ungrammatical "How's you?", and also the strange habit of missing out verbs, e.g.: "We fine", "We going to club tonight". Strangely this is almost never used with "I", only with "we".
Also: "soz", "prolly", and a few others I shall probably think of later.
Double grrrr! mad :x

Kissy, I read books and grump about them making mistakes - and they MUST have been proof read mad
Was pretty much immobilised the other day so my daughter brought me a book to read, along with a pen and a piece of paper. When I asked what it was for, she said 'to write down all the mistakes because you're not scribbling in my book, and to write down the words you don't know the definitions of'. redface
