Which popular slang expression drives you nuts?
Wow, where to start! My kids pick up so many awful expressions from school, it is hard to pick just one. Probably the most pervasive is "Oh my God" but the way they say it, it sounds more like "Aw moi Gawd" but I have pretty much become immune to that one after so many years. My daughter also peppers her speech with the word "like", describes things that she thinks are good as "sick" and has had to be stopped from using insults such as "loser" to describe her brother and from using phrases such as "talk to the booty, cos the hands off duty" (which she got from Dolly Parton on "Hannah Montana"). Probaby my least favourite is the word "butt" though as even adults are using this word now and it just sounds so un-Australian. What is wrong with "bottom" or "bum" (or even "khyber" as my dad used to call it!)?
