Indeed!People who say ‘bro’ every fucking five seconds. Just shut the fuck up you dumb twats.
The way young Mancunians speak is very strange.
My Grandad has an ever so slightly different accent, but then he is of Polish decent and is 82. But my Mam+Dad who are in their 60s, my Uncles who are in their 50s and then me - different generations but we all have the same accent.
My Mam+Dad don’t use some words that me and my Uncles use (never heard them use the word “mint”, for example) but we generally sound the same.
But younger Mancs these days have a very mixed up accent, use stupid words and say some weird stuff.
“Innit” and “is it” used incorrectly at the end of sentences and even ending a question with “innit” which makes no sense at all.
“Bro” this “bro” that...
The then that there and though have all become de den dat dere and dough.
Over-emphasising “L”s.
Over-emphasising “H”s - from me at 37 to my Grandad at 82, we’ve always dropped out aitches at the start of words but younger Mancs say a hard Hhaitch now.
Not all Mancunians have always done this, but no younger Mancs flick their “R”s anymore.
They say “ma” instead of “me” for “my”.
A young lad could say a sentence and sound like they’re not Mancunian at all. “Llook at dat dere Bro, Hhow am I sposed to get to ma Hhouse wivv dese road works, innit?”
They’re ruining the coolest accent on this island!

People in public bogs who pretend to wash their hands but don't. It's a phenomenon particularly prevalent at football matches where the person concerned zips up his fly while sauntering towards the sink as though about to wash his hands but veers away at the last second as though mere proximity to the tap is sufficiently hygienic.
Either wash your hands or don't but feigning it is fooling no-one.

You and many others
Parts of American culture appropriated into British culture.
Baseball caps and graffiti being the two that bug me the most.
It’s never crossed my mind to ever buy a baseball cap, I think they’re a fashion abomination.
And seeing graffiti on our buildings and bridges in this country winds me up, it’s fucking awful. Needs taking back to 1970s Bronx, New York, and leaving there.

Middle aged people, using the word "cool" instead of "very well" or "good" Yesterday, I overheard a man much older than I, say "cool" and he sounded ridiculous, he obviously thought he sounded ....er...cool. I have no idea why he uses this word because he's as Mancunian as I am and we never used this word when we were growing up:/

Women who don't flush the toilet afterwards, ugh, disgusting. How women don't wash their hands, I don't know:(
My daughter and her mates used to say "book", because early predictive text translated 'cool' thus. When I was young, we used to say "real."Middle aged people, using the word "cool" instead of "very well" or "good" Yesterday, I overheard a man much older than I, say "cool" and he sounded ridiculous, he obviously thought he sounded ....er...cool.
