They are annoying phrases, especially "Ya get me". I'm ashamed to say that it probably originates from the areas of deep west London (Southall, Hayes)

It seems quite an insecure phrase..

 

Must originate from someone who has to keep asking.. "do you understand waht the [censored] I'm on about?" after every sentence. Most likely from a multicultural place. Like the dole office. I can just hear the guy at the desk..

 

"You need to fill out these forms, yah get me"

 

"Bring it back tomorrow innit"

 

I could do that.

'My mate came up and me and 'goes' ' - no, no he didn't 'go anywhere did he, he SAID.

 

'He turned round and went 'hiya' ' - no no, again - he didn't TURN ROUND, and he never WENT anywhere. He SAID!!!

 

I seriously like the cut of your jib addy...

utterly annoying phrases mixing up physical and vocal actions!

 

I can't think of any as good as yours...

 

the one that annoys me though is when people spell the letter 'h' with an 'h' at the beginning?

 

Where is that then?

 

(Below is the phonetic spelling taken from the OED.

H (eItS)

 

Don't get me wrong- I love dialect and accents, it's just lazy English that's annoying
