Now that you've told me...I can't stop saying it!

A few days ago a buddy of mine from Scotland informed me that one of my favorite phrases is loathed here in the UK.

This guys is one of my favorite people. He is so blunt and funny.

He said, “You know people here hate that phrase, it drives them nuts.”

I was shock! “Really? Are you sure?”

He: “Yup! I figured you realized that and just wanted to piss everyone off, but then I figured you might not know.”

Me: “Well I think my/our use of this in the States is meant to be funny and sarcastic and also to alleviate any AWKWARD MOMENTS….say like this one right now.”

Now that he has said this I am using it all the time. I can't help myself. I mean before this knowledge my use was every once in a while. Now I think purposely trying not to say it makes me saying it all the time.

Luckily every time this happens my buddy just cracks up….but he will probably snap soon.

The phrase that I speak of is "Any hoo"
