The usuals: Starting every sentence with 'So'. 'And I was like' 'and it was like'.
Some rarer ones: Replacing 'Hello' with 'youriiigght'? is a stupid greeting. If broken down and considered you're asking me if i'm alright. Yes i'm alright, do I look ill? What business is it of yours? Just get me a table and fetch the menu, I don't need asking if i'm alright.
Starting a sentence with 'To be honest' 'If i'm being honest'. This is also stupid as it infers that usually you lie. Same as 'To be fair' and 'I'm not gonna lie'.
Using the word 'nice' to describe everything. I was told off by my English teacher for using it and it's stuck with me. Better words are available, nice is so pathetic it could be seen as an insult.
What?! I thought my neglithingy, paired with me wellie socks and daring see through thong went well as I stood by the red light in my bedroom. Have I got that all wrong? - would that not appeal to the average, older woman? No wonder I don't get many callers.
Ditch the socks. Bad bedroom etiquette. You could try the dance of the seven microfibre cloths. Might appeal to a lady who wants a man who is willing to share the chores
@B3 would clenching a duster between my bu*****ks work instead? - I don't own seven microfibre cloths, but I do have a vintage, little used duster that my wife used sparingly to keep it fresh and I've kept that up in her memory.
@MikeOxgreen - I think people have been asking some form of "Y'all right?" for as long as I can remember, without actually wanting to know how your left big toe is feeling today. My grandparents would say "How do you do?" - to which the correct reply was apparently "How do you do?" , not "Very well, thanks". Odd...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Don’t know that I could be described as an average older woman! Once I’d got to know and love you, you could wear what you like. Would be an initial turnoff though, especially if you looked better in it that I would!

And.......I'm not bein 'orrible but... 😫
Or if you do ask how someone is and they reply with.... I'm good or .... good good 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Everyone down here greets you with Y’allright to which you reply, yes, and you? Must be a regional thing.
