If something is annoying British it's usually Hindi or Urdu.

Actually, there's not as much as I thought, pukka is another one, khazi isn't.

it's hindi, tho not particularly annoying
It is pretty British. I thought a nice cup o' cha, might be from the Raj but it's Chinese, it seems.

Nosh always sounded annoyingly British to me so I'm surprised it's Yiddish
This sounds like a lost Mike D. lyric.

Cushty however is Romani. Since I brought up 'pukka' and plunged us into Jamie Oliver territory.
― weird echo of the falsies (Tom D.), Thursday, 3 August 2017 16:36 (eight years ago)
other romani words: chav, cosh, nark, pal, shiv, skip (as waste-container), togs… and lollipop!
(some of these arrived via polari)

I was using pukka in the tec in achill from 1995 onwards on account of a Dulwich cousin. Never took off.

"you do you"
a friend said this to me after i disagreed with his assessment that twin peaks should've been 9 episodes instead of 18.
This phrase sucks and is as bad as "live and let live" - the ultimate cop out
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 3 August 2017 17:51 (eight years ago)
even worse "you do you, boo"
― President Keyes, Thursday, 3 August 2017 18:10 (eight years ago)
^ ah that sucks
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 3 August 2017 18:11 (eight years ago)
You do you and live and let live are excellent concepts and reactions to differences of opinion
You may disagree. You do you.
― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Thursday, 3 August 2017 19:20 (eight years ago)
hmm. I usually hear "You do you" in the context of "That's a great hat! You do you, girl."
― President Keyes, Thursday, 3 August 2017 19:28 (eight years ago)
Isn't the implicit tag-end of 'you do you...' something akin to '...like a dumb, aberrant clown who amuses me'? It's this season's 'ooooookaaaaaay....'.

Origins in African American vernacular so not widely heard in the UK

interesting the article focuses on the positive aspects of "you do you". It strikes me as a way to abruptly end discussion, another form of "agree to disagree".
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 3 August 2017 19:57 (eight years ago)
but sure it could probably be used in many contexts
Nothing inherently wrong with ending a discussion based on difference of opinion tho
― jk rowling obituary thread (darraghmac), Thursday, 3 August 2017 20:00 (eight years ago)
yeah, for sure
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Thursday, 3 August 2017 20:01 (eight years ago)
I've always thought of it as a melding of "You go girl" and "let your freak flag fly." Did not know it had this "Let's agree to disagree" function as well.
― President Keyes, Thursday, 3 August 2017 20:04 (eight years ago)
You didn't know that? Well, all I can say is you do you, bruh. You. Do. You.

I only say it if the activity is odd but harmless. My son runs through the room with underpants on his head. I'm like, "you do you."
But if he's putting his sister's arm in the food processor it's more like "Stop that right now."

one of my old friends uses the phrase "poops" as a noun to describe an individual bathroom visit.
one example, she posted her weight online and in the discussion, said "after poops, I think I'll be at 105".

it was one of those exercise/fitness milestone posts

stillthat sounds problematic
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Thursday, 10 August 2017 23:46 (eight years ago)
more so than 'poops'
lots of people who are starting a fitness regimen like to post things like that in a means of saying "look how far I've come", I don't begrudge them. though I see your point w/ the potential for people on social media to harass people over such posts
