"Fashionable" (but irritating) ways of speaking

Tweet

Have you noticed how sometimes there will be a new fashion or fad in the way people speak? It's understandabke of course, most things follow fashion in some way shape or form, but I find some of these things so irritating. Such as: * saying "can I get" instead of "may I have" Usually when you offer someone a drink or something, and they say "can I get a lemonade?" I hate it. I have in the past said "it's ok, I'll get it, I'm going to the bar anyway, what do you want?" But as always, my mild sarcasm goes unnoticed. I don't know where this little expression has come from. But I wish it would go back there. *"literally". There seems to be a wave of people at the moment using "literally" in every sentence, irrespective of whether they are actually being literal or not. Just the other day I overhead someone say "I literally died". Again, it just makes me want to weep! Do you hate these? Or is it just me?!
