I asked my mates too, I won't repeat what they said but it wasn't polite or positive.
to add
Americans - me either. No, it's me neither. That is just thick
At the end of the day - total nonsense
Leverage
Period, instead of full stop. Nope, that's the end of that, full stop, not period.
Pronouncing schedule incorrectly - it is not skedule, not on these shores.
Lartay instead of latte - it's Italian, has a hard "a", stop talking like a ponce, you ponce. Besides, get a proper coffee.
Deep dive - no. Not at all.
People who say "etc" - I mean who says that? As in "yes, we need to leverage the data etc".
People who pronounce "t" as a "D" as in, let's pardee, let's have a look at the dayda (instead of data).
Generally, British people using any Americanism. Makes me cringe a bit, can't help but think "try hard".
Use of the word "drop" to describe a new release - yah, the new Thundercat track dropped today, let's pardee
Saying "merch" instead of merchandise. - yah, let's have a look at what new merch dropped this week, let's have a pardee
Optics - yah, the optics on this have changed significantly over the last quarder, let's have a pardee
Lens - yah, we need a new lens on this as the optics have changed significantly over the last quarder, I think it's too early to call it, bedder nod have a pardee.
I'm not gonna lie - well, thanks for that.
I'm too long in the tooth (is that an annoying phrase?) for all this crap, find it hard to put up with really.

I head up a publishing team where I have to train the new (and often youngish) recruits to respect formal correspondence whilst being contemporary/current.
I am probably in danger of being seen as an old and pedantic git ! My get out is that if you start high, you can always dumb it down later.
Are you a fish, a simpleton, a neanderthal to just stare at a person who's just shown interest in your current interest and activity?
I'm what's known as a ray of effing sunshine

And it’s a garden, not a yard. A yard is a concreted area.
'virtue signaller'
Of course there's always 'tragic' to describe something sad - Frank lays this out in Educating Rita.
And another one (mentioned earlier) is 'can' instead of 'may', as in 'Can I have a cup of tea' - not if I break your fingers you fucking cretin!
But what's the deal with "construction" and "the fall"? Especially the latter, it's my favorite Camus and he's French.
PS I find the American phrase 'the fall' very evocative & descriptive.
