or is it Roadman street speak ?..........I don't know
That was one too far so I asked why she kept using that word and said where else would a car be?
I explained what literally means and said she's adding an extra unnecessary word to sentences. She understood, but now she still keeps saying it and then realises she's said it and gets confused with herself and apologises. So it seems like its been programmed in to her now.
Although in fairness, their shit grammar is probably one of the least annoying things about them
The official definition now includes:
1.1informal
Used for emphasis while not being literally true:
I was literally blown away by the response I got

You have literally ruined my day with that!
And my other firm favourite is "prolly" instead of probably.
The other one I hate is when people say "we" when they mean "you". Why do people do that? Is it because "you" is deemed too direct? That must be why people use "yourself" in the OPs context as well.
(n.b. I can't afford to go into those kinds of restaurants myself, I got this from watchng the dinner scene at the end of 'Beyond The Lighted Stage', the Rush documentary)

The American 'like'.......he said ,like, we're going to ,like,a supermarket to buy some ,kinda like ,groceries ..............
When ordering in a restaurant ........." Can I get " the salad with that , to which the obvious answer is I'm sure you can sir so long as you can afford it ;you don't need my permission !
Anyway ......I'm 'so done' with 'throwing shade ' on these hideous new wave conjunctions
they literally use it in every sentence
Tsk.
Totally lame. It’s just empty sales speak. Life imitating art, in this case the art is the movie Office Space. Faux politeness, faux professionalism. A useful form of repetitive mindlessness.
My favorite personal experience was when I was dining at a relatively upscale local boutique kinda restaurant, the server was a nice but pretty rough-around-the-edges gal from the hills somewhere. She was constantly asking us “how is the flavor of everything,” trying to sound like a hipster foodie type of insider but it was clumsy as hell. The wife and I still ask each other “how is the flavor of everything?” 15 years later.
But if someone asks me to “go ahead and . . .” I walk away or hang up.
Ever since, each time I've asked my daughter what she wants to eat when she's home that's the answer she gives in a bad American accent :-)
Things like "aks" instead of "ask" - well, I've heard aks came first and ask was the bastardisation of the word. If we understand what someone is saying, they are communicating legitimately.
Specialist subjects have specialist language to ensure clarity when sharing information.

You should try asking for either an americano with milk, or filter coffee with milk. “White coffee” isn’t a specific enough term
I will contest that burgers are the meat/vege equivalent content of what you get served, not the whole bread toppings etc. Without all the crap that comes with it, a burger at a butchers and a supermarket is just a flat disc of meat/vege that does not get served with bread and a slice of cheese and salad, pickles etc.
On the coffee, is precisely my point that it should be specific enough. Down the whole skinny, mocha/latte/choca?frappucano, cream on top avenue lies extremes such as choosing the teat which the milk was squeezed out from grass eating daisy. Just marketing nonsense to justify £3-5 per cup price tag. Its just coffee and most of us at home serve it to guests as that So why not just have available a cup of coffee and accept that order without asking 100 irrelevant questions.
As for coffee, have you been to Italy? The differences are real. There are various types of coffee drinks with “white” in them. Ordering “white coffee” is confusing as hell, my best guess would be that you’re ordering cocaine. If you want coffee with cream, that’s what you should order.
