Oh I love Zimbabwe too... but it has to be pronounced in a certain way! Also crannnog , plinth and flounder!  Oh and floccinaucinihilipilification, spent a hilarious few hours trying to teach Mrs W and her kids to say that one!

You mean not " Alright love"?  As a southerner transplanted to the north, I was somewhat disturbed when a burly ex-miner called me love!

[bitsnknots]

I agree over please and thank you.  It really annoys me when people don't use their manners.  After all, it doesn't hurt to use them and it certainly doesn't cost anything either.

Hello. Nice to be out walking and say Hello to people and them say it back.

[tintinthegingertomcat]

I love the word "love" - especially when my son (before he became a Kevin the teenager) would say "I love you mum".....any words he uses now tend to be a bit mumbled or unintelligible so often I dont actually know what he is saying anymore....these words are often mumbled from under the duvet when trying to get him out of bed in the morning to go to school.

[twishy123]

Probably just as well you can't tell what he's saying Tintin......might make ya teeth curl if you did.......

[fishpieface]

I agree that please and thank-you are sadly lacking in many

conversations.  Good manners cost nothing and it sounds so

much nicer.

I'm always overhearing in shops, in buses etc, people ask

for whatever it is they want without a please or thank-you

at any time during the proceedings.  Many a time they are

bellowing into a mobile as well.  It's so rude and arrogant.

Some say nothing at all, especially on a bus, just slap the

fare down, then when you make a ticket for the amount

they've put there, they exclaim that they wanted a lower

price and some change and why is the driver not a mind-

reader?!  That used to happen a lot when I drove buses.

As to favourite words, I have many, particularly ones that

sound exactly what they are, like fluff, squidgy, soft, crinkly -

I won't go on!

[fishpieface]

There are some people who appear to not know the phrase

"excuse me please" either, preferring just to barge past,

knocking into people and just not caring.

[ginap.123]

My favourite words are 'dinners ready'
