"You're a lifesaver" or "You saved my life, dude!"

And what massive act of galintary is that for, you ask?

Usually because someone has uploaded a vid to YouTube with regards how to fix something. For example, a leaking pipe, a zipper is snagged, a window that won't open, or some other relatively trivial first world problem!

It just hits differently

Pop as in pop it on the table. It’s so juvenile.

Pissed when used in the American way to mean angry. Hearing it more and more lately and it’s so annoying, pissed means drunk!

But what about pissed off? I'm sure i have heard that phrase used my whole life

Another one that makes me want to punch people in the face is Boom

"Expert"

Reading the latest Covid news both at home and abroad, I can't help but notice how everyone who is quoted, seems to be an "expert", and yet most of them seem to be quite clueless at times.

Moreover, you get other "experts" in the same scientific or political field, vehemently disagreeing with the recommendations from other "experts" in the same field - in which case who is the real expert!?
