    To be honest, I'm British and I'd be perfectly happy saying anyone of these phrases to a friend, and perfectly happy to have them said to me. It's not so much about the phrases, but more about the situation and context. A lot of people don't really realise that this is how we are. We insult each other and not only do we usually not take it seriously, it tells us a lot about our friendships and relationships. If a person can insult you and you don't really mind, then you must be friends. It can sometimes be difficult for other people to figure out as I've had a few people visit me from other countries and they often thought people were fighting/arguing, but they were just winding each other up. Maybe the most risky out of the lot is to say "You're in a bad mood" because if they're not, then it's a surefire way to put them in one 😆

      This is a stupid function of your culture. Rudeness is not a good indicator of friendship, it’s just rude. Its very common in blue collar industries to have the same type of culture, and when I got into that industry, I could see that this is just for people who have trouble expressing their true affections for their friends and family by hiding behind insults and jokes. But when someone actually gets hurt when two people are *essentially* playing with knives, then it’s ok to say “oh sorry, I know we’re playing with knives but obviously I didn’t mean to cut you or stab you!” Don’t play with knives. It’s stupid.

      @@Kingcrowntown Rudeness is only rude if it is interpreted that way by the reciever. What certainly is rude is trying to impose your way onto others. So, if we like to have that kind of banter with friends and work colleages, Who are you to tell us that we are wrong ? Rudeness is subjective. What one person considers rude another may not. Also, pretty coincidental that while you call out rudeness your first line is to try and insult a persons culture. Pretty rude, huh ? Luckily we're not overly sensitive about such things, maybe we've been toughened up a little by all the insults that we've had to put up with from our friends over the years. Instead of crying about it and getting offended we just laugh at it and move on..

    WOW, thank you for being so polite, I mean it :) I live in a country where half of the population constantly speaks to eachother in rude, impatient, irritated tones and they think that's just normal, polite speaking 🙈 The reason being they've never heard anything else so they don't know any better. Talk about culture shock to me..

  • @Lana.S.

    Bob, I am very grateful for this lesson. You explained with examples important culture English manners. It is so important for people, who was not born in English country, like me, so we didn't have English speaking father and mother who could explain us these delicate shades of meaning.
    I had an situation on my workplace, when I had to make with my co-worker a presentation together. My salary depended on this presentation. I was very nervious because it was my first time and English is not my first language. On ther other side, my collegue was native. I asked his help, if I forgot a few words accidentally and made a break in my speech to help me. I warned him that it was very important for me. First part of presentation from my collegue was fantastic, my second part was not bad. But, people started to ask additional questions to clarify some details. In one moment, I realised that I couldn't explain because I just didn't know these technical details. I organised a break and asked my co-worker help me and explain nuances to people, because it was 100% his area of competency. But, he refused to help me. He told, you should do it youself cause it is your part of presentation.
    I was so furious with him. Firstly, I didn't know how I could explain something if I didn't know this subject. Also, I couldn't know how to explain him that he is not right. So, at that moment I forgot all my polite English😢 and told him loudly and directly, 'You are useless'.
    At last, I found the way to finish this presentation in a decent way. However, we were not talking with each other for 2 months.
    Thank you for giving the alternative phrases for this situation. The last thing I want to do is to be rude with someone, but unfortinately, the study English book teach us to be polite and always agree and not teach us how negotaite and sometimes refuse somebody polite way.

    That's a very useful lesson. The same word or phrase can sound rude to natives and quite mild and innocent to English learners, so it is good to point out all the shades of emotions or directness these phrases convey. One of the phrases that I just had to learn the sound of, was 'why don't you...' - which may seem like a question requiring an answer, with a dash of patronizing tone, but it turns out to be more of a suggestive statement.

    Bob! Thank you so much for your nice English sentences and tips to become a polite English speaker. But already lots of native English speakers used to adopt what you pointed out when they speak to non-English users. Most of them were Americans who didn't know how to say polite. They are very mean. Moreover, some of them say a few salty words or four words to non-English speakers on social media or websites if they can't speak English fluently. Not to mention, that's a kind of racial discrimination. That's the problem of native English speakers toward non-English speakers when they hear broken English. Native speakers shouldn't use those rude words in the first place in front of non-English speakers first.

    I agree "That (food) is disgusting" is rude. All the other phases seem to be Honest and Realistic observations that need to be expressed. When "Whatever" is used it has one of two very different meanings. One is "the person saying it (like the student with the calculator/phone out) is admitting to being wrong, not knowing what is going on, and doesn't care about the concerns of the group." A second meaning is "your objection is noted, but it is insignificant and let's move forward with our plan/action."

    As an ESL teacher of 15+ years experience, I would not stop a student using any of these phrases. They are examples of informal language which can be more than appropriate in casual settings.
    I would say you are highlighting cultural and regional differences in how English is used in different places especially when you come to informal language.
    Your "bathroom" is my "toilet" if I'm being formal, otherwise it's "dunny," "loo," "bog house," etc. 😀
