In Canada I’ve noticed A LOT people in the guitar scene saying “cheers”, I guess it’s a British thing since a lot of great guitarist came from there and they use it over there in Britain? Well personally I think when someone uses the word “cheers” they seem to be trying to be something their not (posers) unless you come from a region where “cheers” is a commonly used word. But if your in Canada I don’t think you should use it, just say goodbye. And cheers sounds gay anyway.

The Post made by a Mr. Kevin was in fact added after an edit to the “English Language” comment. Dan Clearly Wins, now get me some little ice.

How odd - the article seems to say “hundreds of thousands.” It’s too bad I’m not the type that would go back and correct something I had wrong on an earlier draft. A real shame that I’m not the type of person to do such a thing.

A quick point before the assumed master of the English language and all things related to saying good bye edits the blog - there are in fact hundreds of thousands of words in the English language.

There - I win.

Up with all things European and down all things American

Cheers!

Normal person: “Hey Bob, thanks for that report you sent me the other day, really helped a lot”

Eurotrash wannabe: “Oy cheers mate”

Normal person: “FUCK YOU EUROTRASH WANNABE RETARDED CHEERS-SAYING ASSHOLE”

Eurotrash wannabe: “cheers mate”

Normal person: “DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIEEEEEE”

**eurotrash wannabe motherfucker dies shortly thereafter in a horrible lift accident**

Susan, we truly appreciate your commitment to ridding yourself (and by extension), our planet of this linguistic nightmare.

Its amazing how fast its spread! A few years ago a South African accountant working for me here in the U.S. always said it, and I’d never heard it — or at least noticed it before. I moved to another state, and got in the habit of using it, but mostly just in email/online. Then in the last year I’ve started hearing it more and more, since its mostly from people I regularly deal with. I thought maybe they had gotten infected from me. But it sounds like its a nationwide phenomenon? I ain’t that popular! So I guess I likely had little to do with it spreading around here. Sounds like a nationwide meme.

Guess I’ll kick the habit then!
