In BDA we always say 'Innit' (like isn't it), doesn't even matter what kind of sentence it is you have to throw it in there. and then we never pronunce the 't' @ the end so it kinda comes out as inni' or inneh' or even innuh etc.... i'm guilty of it myself, but it is kind of irritating...

Like, I hate people who like say 'like' like about a thousand times per sentence.
Here's one of my favorite quotes from a good friend of mine (who's like EA). We were talking philosophy or something, and he had a profound statement to make. Went something like this...
"Do you know what I mean, I mean, you know...oh I don't know."
Btw...I don't like actually hate those people. Pardon the expression.

When I was little, I always heard people say "bleshu" whenever someone sneezed, so I always said it. It wasn't until about 13 years old that I realized they were saying "bless you."
I have a really bad tendency to end sentences with "...and what not." It was a replacement for "...and stuff like that." I hate "things" and "stuff."
"I have priorities to take care of right now, like paying the bills, cleaning the house, and what not."

I don't really like blessing people when they sneeze though... Maybe the German word Gesundheit would be better. Think it just means "health" in general. People don't say a damn thing in Japan when you sneeze. They just completely ignore you. That started to bother me after a while Apparently I want my sneezes to be recognized.

Well if I ever come across you, I'll be sure to sneeze in your face so you can't ignore me. Prolly won't be saying "bless you" but at least you'll acknowledge it in some way.
jk

A sneeze in the face by Snuffleupagus? That could be bad.

Count yourself lucky she doesn't fart in your face. Oh, no that's my way of saying "bless you" when someone sneezes. I figure they expel some wind from the lungs when they sneeze, so I give it back to them. Now, that's more sincere than gesundheit or bless you combined.

so this trivial thing has been driving me nuts: i could swear there's an expression for baiting someone who everyone knows blows their stack .i thought it was 'poking the badger' but it turns out i've just watched too much Eddie Izzard. does anyone know what i mean or am i just imagining this phrase?

How about 'to get the raging arse' as in: 'I screwed up the report and now my boss has got the raging arse.'
I heard this a while ago and misunderstood it for something else.
