"Have a nice day" nicey nicey guilt trip

[gbb]

I guess it (apparently pointless good wishes) just reflects your underlying nature.
Personally I will nearly always make some gesture at the end of a phone conversation that's been productive or helpful. Take care, you have a good day, thanks very much, it's just a little something to hopefully indicate your thanks or appreciation.
I always think the people on the end of the phone do a job I couldn't do, probably take a lot of abuse...why wouldn't you just be polite if the persons been helpful, even if it is really an empty gesture.

'COCK'
That's another one. ''You alright cock?'' Like I'm some kind of plonker !!..................................?? err?

Maybe they've met you?


'Cock' is a semi-dialect Yorkshire term of affection - the origin is the same as cock-sparrow, cock-robbin, woodcock etc. - although these days I only hear older Tykes use it. Not the same word and not to be confused with cock=penis, which is a term of abuse widespread throughout the rest of England, especially from those who watch Top Gear.

when speaking to our OSP's i get a lot of "have a nice shift"
accents aside to be fair i mis-heard the first time someone said this to me and my only response was a confused "Whu?"

Reminds me of when I first came across a new expression - to me at least. Watching a scrum, only half listening, until I heard to commentator say: 'blah de blah de blah but that's a big arse'. I thought it was a bit personal, and said so. Our kid pointed out my error.

I'm guilty of saying "You too" to a McDonald's employee after he said "Have a nice day".(Not on purpose though)

"Mate" not usual a Glasgow thing more likely to be "Pal"

'Mate' is gradually getting a bit more common I've found, but as for Pal, it depends on the age of the person saying it, but I don't get called it very often by anyone under a certain age.

"Hen" added usually woman to woman

And 'Doll' to a woman too. Yet again, one that's said by people over a certain age.

'Awright Doll!!'

"Buddy" not heard that.

A bit like 'mate', it has gradually appeared.
