It seems they are everywhere. It has only become more noticeable since John and Edward began to grace our screens at the beginning of the X-Factor Season.
Little brats talking like they spent most of their lives on the West Coast. What’s it all about? Oh my Gawd loike it was sooooo rad dude, I mean yaaaah, it was like, soooooo awesome. It’s not so much the words but the twang and the almost composed melody to it. The over pronounciation and exagerration of every letter rolling off their tongues. Putting three syllables into a word which has only one. A group of girls in their school uniforms looking like they have the nest of a family of bullfinches on their head talking like Paris Hilton. “Oh, silly bitch, ur my BFF really” hawdy ha ha. Then ordering lunch and telling Pascal in Subway – “No TO-MATE-TOE dude”. The word on this side of the Atlantic is tomato. TO-MA-TO.
And what is with the unnecessary amount of pauses in the sentences. For example, overheard whilst strolling to work and passing a certain school opposite the Green – “Oh.My.God.Are.You.Serious.No.Nooooooooooo.Oh.My.God.Dude.Like wooooooow”.
In my personal opinion the word ketchup should be deleted from our vocabulary aswell. Unless of course you’re in TGI Fridays. Be traditional, it was red sauce when you were 4 years old and it’s still red and it’s still sauce so go back to the West Coast with yer ketchup. So long as it’s Heinz and not Chef I don’t give a rats arse 
Send them all down to the Gaeltacht and let them converse in Gaeilge for a few weeks and see how they do. It will stop them speaking like they’re trying to give an Oscars acceptance speech and be so much easier to understand.
Go n-eiri leat!
