If you really want to know, I have a big study to do. I am being an escapist and procrastinating like anything by marathon posting here and making your thread a success. 
I must do some work. I also need to watch Germany game later. Look forward to it.

Ah. Please give us the context, David. Let's work it out what it means how it's applied. I can't remember hearing it this end before.
Another one is 'Sick!!!!'.
The youth of today has moved from 'wicked' to 'sick!' for something really exciting and fantastic. This 'sick!' used to do my heads in, but I've gone used to it by now.

TH, Don't worry about it - just a passing comment.
In fact it was Dotton Adebayo on his Radio 5 late night Jukebox show and I think he had just heard the word as he must have used it half a dozen times in the context of "rinsing" his music collection. But it was 3.30 in the morning so only 2 or 3 of my 10 brain cells were operative

Thing is, and I hope they don't mind, I've noted that both hodgy and Martin are 'serial offenders' of the "could of", "would of", etc. And, of course, they are FAR from 'thick' or uneducated!
So the 'endemic' lol is not exclusively tied to the 'less schooled', shall we say.
I think, for the most part, it's simply not thinking/processing. Which is fine. It's not as if we're in a school exam, after all.

But I refer the Right Honourable Gentleman to a comment I made yesterday:
DISCLAIMER: Despite my protestations, this thread was intended to be 'lighthearted throwaway' - if that makes sense.

The one I'd like to air my grievance about is 'I don't know!" term. Now this term is the worst ever term, which I've also started to use 
It's hugely popular in Britain. Everyone, I mean, everyone says when they talk- "Ah, it could be raining in a bit, I don't know!". I can understand that, because you really don't know when it's going to rain in this country. Just keep your brolly handy. But things like "I think I get up between 5 and 5:30 every morning, I don't know....." or "I think I'll go to Paris next year, I don't know....". I mean, why don't people know much, here???
I put it down to people drinking too much here in Britain, and losing their mental capability of knowing simple things; I don't know!
I must add that the worst epidemic of this 'I don't know' is apparent in Bristol folk. I think it's some form of genetic mutation (possibly to do with extra ordinary alcohol intake by their forefathers and foremothers) that causes them to keep saying 'I don't know' since they're born. Not exactly a learnt behaviour to blame.

A lot of people say this 'I don't know...." repeatedly, which only makes them sound as if some of their brain cells are permanently dead and therefore they're so confused and indecisive....I don't know....!
Anyway, 'Hope this helps' is another one. Patronising as f**k.
