The Jeremy Kyle generation are obsessed with certain phrases. Do they realise just how think it makes them sound?

Many of the housemates used them and think it makes them sound cosmopolitan, in reality it just made them sound stupid.

Phrases such as;

"24/7"
"24/7/365"
"National television" as opposed to what?

Anyone else got Jeremy Kyle phrases to share with us?

[GypsyGoth]

At the end of the day.

What's Jeremy Kyle?

[MiuMiu]

"YOU'RE A LOSER!"
and
"GET A JOB!"

spring to mind!

[InOne]

"I don't have a Girlfriend" "Oh, wait I do have a girlfriend" "Im pregnant"

[Luanda]

"Whatever" has to be the most pointless reposte to a statement ever muttered by anyone.

[Chels]

"Be a man."

[MiuMiu]

"Let's get Graham out"

My friend and I used to jump around the apartment shouting Graham over and over again whenever he did this.
Lol, so sad.
but it was fun!

Jeremy Kyle should be on BB!
He's a legend!

[Luanda]

Take a lie detector.

[MiuMiu]

"and we will reveal the results....after the break".

[calyman]

"And I'm paying for your child"
No Jeremy, you are receiving an inflated salary due to your questionable "counseling" and ridiculous insights. You are just an offensive bully and it's others who are paying for your ego fix.

[Shasown]

Our lie detector tests show you lied -

[ross-oaft]

"This guy is a ledgend" - refering to Graham.
"Put something on the end of it".

[Luanda]

Apart from Dewsbury and council waste tips, where does Kyle find his guests?

This is the world we live in.
I have seen this change in my own lifetime when, about 10 years ago, my 'North Americanisms' would get blank stares and I'd have to reserve catchprases and expressions which might cause trouble, get strange looks,
but,
Now I can be anywhere in the UK and maybe use some odd 'Americanism' and even if the listener does not use it themselves - they will 'get it'.
They saw it on television or the internet and know what it means anyways.

Another example is simply watching BB10.
Marcus is someone who clearly socializes online and would use many 'americanisms' like 'punked' and general insults found there,
and,
Siavash is another who would often make or refer to americanisms.
and,
Freddy is another although I suppose he picked these up from being a student in the USA.

But yeah.. electronic homogenization but then in some ways it is like interference too.
Expressions can sound 'right' in a certain context do not sound right interjected in typical british conversation and even go wrong - example: "I punked you" doesn't sound right when Marcy says it to David.
Somehow Freddys 'dude' doesn't fit there.
I don't know why Siavash uses so many american references although I think he picked up a bunch of them from Cairon in the first week.

I like 'at the end of the day' but brits hate it.
'24/7' is meh.. ya i don't care for that one so much even though I use it.
'Big Time' is one I always wondered about. It seems that was an Americanism (or Canadianism?) but does Peter Gabriel get credit for popularising it?
Then again it seems to become popular more around 2000 - 2005.
Around the time 'Gobsmacked' was popular. Big time popular.
