I've never heard jonesing *on*" something - only jonesing *for* something.
― disgruntled punter (Je55e), Tuesday, 1 October 2013 20:59 (twelve years ago)
jonesing *for* something means you have an addict-type craving for something. I think it might have started as heroin slang?

"pop of colour" is the worst
― kinder, Monday, 11 November 2013 17:46 (twelve years ago)
I thought 'pop of colour' was a contraction of 'population of colour' (like 'person of colour') at first.

"Can I get a drink STARTED for anyone?" at coffee places with lines
As though a coffee is an enormously complex project with various stages. I'll get it STARTED for you, and our team of coffee specialists will have it finished within an hour. I mean I appreciate the practice, I just think it sounds funny.

Probably said this before, but one of the only phrases I hate are when people say "myself" and "yourself" instead of 'me' and 'you'. you get a lot of English service-industry people doing the whole "Is there anything else I can do for yourself today at all?". The best one I heard about was in a hotel guestbook had written "Myself and my wife had a lovely time". What a cock.

The "myself" thing is the sort of thing people who don't have the best grammar write to sound more educated. I find it kind of cute and it doesn't really annoy me.
I guess the same thing can be said about "May I please help the following guest" though.

I love the notion of saying "if it's not too much trouble?" in a fast food scenario.
I definitely say "Could I please get"
― Walter Galt, Monday, 18 November 2013 16:45 (twelve years ago)
It's almost to the point sometimes where I think too hard about not saying "I'll take..." that when the cashier asks me what she can get for me today, I say "... ... CHESSEBURGER."
