Something quite cringeworthy that's crept in over the last few years is when a person is asking for something in a shop/pub and says "Can i get ?". It's normally snotty little students or those "young professional" types you see in All Bar One and the like.
Yuppie type, "Can I get two pints of lager"
Me behind the bar, "Of course you can but what do you actually WANT you little ?"

It kind of loses it's impact when the derogatory word is replaced by "little nice guy". What's that all about ? |

The word "ask" suddenly becoming "aks/axe" over the last few years

It's the trendy 'baristas' that annoy me with their use of of 'guys' & 'today'. "How are you guys today?" "Will you guys be dining with us today?" "Do you guys want a pastry with your drinks today?" |

This isn't really a "Mis-used phrase or expression" but it's kind of still on topic about language/attitudes that are slipping in more theses days...
Cold callers/salesman have started opening the conversation like they're your best mate. I despise it.
*Phone Rings*
Me - Hello...?
Voice - "Hiya old buddy old chum, how are you today my good friend?"
Me - Fine thanks...?
Voice - "Good stuff... you all ready for Christmas? How about his weather we're having eh?! Do anything interesting last night? What colour underwear did you opt for this morning old buddy old chum?"
Me - Do I know you...?
Voice - "No, I'm Peter... I'm just calling to see if I can save you money on your [whatever?"
Me - No you can't Peter. P[ii[/iss off.
I don't know who on Earth has decided that's a good marketing technique but it doesn't work on me.

The other half always moans about sports commentators' conspiracy to abolish the adverb. So much so that I've actually started doing it myself just to wind her up.
