I despise how these phrases have made it into English usage:
"off of" - just off is fine.
"real estate" - argh!
"can I get a.." - no, it's Please may I have.
"gotten" - fuck off.

I about your post above. :-)Using the word “like” when they mean “about”.
“He was like 6 foot tall”
“She was like 30 years old”

Look at me like that again and itll be the last thing you ever do fatty.
