They are causing you an inconvenience by asking you to stand for a moment while they get past.

"At this moment in time" - it's NOW for Gawd's sakes!
"Live on stage" - if they weren't they would be dead!
. . . . . and loads more I'm sure.

I hate the way that so many young women now start virtually every sentence, however mundane the topic, with 'Ohmigod' - followed by a sentence in which every third word is 'like' - ánd spoken in the voice of a 3-year old.
Why do they think that sounding so dumb, ditzy and American is ultra-cool or endearing. To me, it just shouts 'I'm an airhead whose role models are Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian'.

"I'm very straight down the middle, I tell it how it is, love me or hate me"
I choose hate then, rude *******.

Maybe slightly off-topic, but on a restaurant menu - why is fish or meat invariably described as 'pan-fried'? What else would it be fried in?!

Funnily enough I got given a TV set last week, first one I've owned for getting on for ten years. I had the pleasure of skittling through some crap on telly the other night. Something about people on the dole, i think it was said rather a lot on there. I won't be revisiting that one.

At least they're making some sort of effort, far better than the self-involved tosspots who push through and smash off a couple of trolleys, before blaming everyone else nearby for not immediately moving out of the way for them.
people in cars who don't acknowledge when you let them through pisses me off way more than it should. its because people feel anonymous in cars and don't feel the need for manners. like people cutting into queues, happens all the time in cars but you'd never come up to a queue of people standing somewhere and just barge your way in, would you?

Another thing like this is women's use of the word Karma. As an example from Facebook will demonstrate:
Jilted girlfriend can't believe the dirty chuzla stick would do this to me. He said he had to thumb it in for gods sakes
BFF Karma babes, what goes around comes around. Karma, trust me, Karma.

"I won't lie to ya ......" which would suggest that if they didn't start a sentence with those words then they ARE lying to you

I have not heard that for a number of years. It means - play fair - do the decent thing.
Definitely racist granny.

Cheers. On that basis, I daresay it would be a tad, yes.
Thanks - I had never heard it before either.
Definitely a little bit racist.
