"no brainer" - you poor thing - do you think it wise to advertise the fact that you have none?

I once photographed a young "lady" who wanted to be a "moddawl", I asked her if she liked Kipling, and she replied "dunno, never kippled!"

some from my previous life of working with US/Canada and Hong Kong IT....
'soup to nuts' was one that confused me, till I realised it was 'the whole thing' ie from soup course to nuts after dinner.
'keep me honest' means Im not going to be at all honest and you wont get a millisecond to interrupt me and point it out but you'll be bound by what I am saying.
'breadcrumbs', IT speak for the route users have to move through a series of pages in a process (like hansel and gretel left in the wood)
'soft launch' means we're not ready to go live really but the Chairman has told the FSA/Bank of England that we are so we do but dont tell anyone  apart from 3 gerbils living in Swindon who are now confused by the user guide and using it as bedding.

My massive dislikes right now are lol, pmsl, rofl.
Probably because they're so overused!!

lol I know what you mean rofl

I find myself guilty of that overuse and often hit the backspace.

I once counted up the number of times someone said 'you know' in a conversation. Can't remember how many times but it was a LOT.
