Stretch limos...
...especially white ones - pink ones? even worse;

"sports" instead of "sport" - it's ok when talking about two or more specific sports but sport as an entity is sport not sports. BSkyB please take note, this is not america;

People who report a conversation as "he turned round to me and said..." So, he was facing away from you to begin with was he?

Incorrect use of the word "them" - e.g. "pass me them scissors" instead of pass me those scissors"

"off of" e.g. "get off of that chair" instead of get off that chair"

I'll only put up with so much of this nonsense. I believe it was my brother who adopted this unfortunate turn of phrase (pfft). I remedied the situation after a dozen rounds (give or take) of "She turned 'round and said... then I turned 'round and said... then he turned 'round and walked off..."

I interrupted (how common of me) a little too forcefully with "At which point did you fall over?!"
"Eh?"
"Well, after all of that spinning around, you must have been too fucking dizzy to see straight, never mind stand up."

off of
I always thought it was a ghastly americanism, but apparently what we consider american english has stayed more true to the english we had around the times the countries went their separate ways then english english has. So off of would have been the correct was of saying it in Georgian England.

Gah.....
It causes feelings to rise with in me, feelings of great murderous rage.

Speak English or Die! As I believe Stormtroopers of Death once chanted.

As for Limo's with their screaming harpy occupants, spilling cheap sparkling wine from the cheap ASDA glasses, as they hang drunkenly from the semi open tinted window. It makes one wish that a culling was allowed, yet if we actually removed the Chavs from society, what would we have left? Who would become the new Chav?
