    I think 'Pal' is pretty good TBH. I like words that can be used as both a term of endearment and an insult depending on the context.

    "D'yu know what I mean?" Or "I mean". Infuriatingly over/misused.

    Awesome

    A pizza is never awesome.
    A television show is never awesome.
    Even last night (usually) was not awesome.

    For an awesome night out you'd have to have walked into a bar and been challenged to a drinking contest with Mohammed, Tom Waits would have to buy you a Jaegerbomb, a couple of martians would have to challenge yourself and Angelina Jolie to doubles pool (which you'd win), and you'd have to wind up on Ayer's Rock the next morning with a phoenix.

    Simples. Especially when it's used in a condescending manner, which it usually is. There's no oneupmanship or merit in saying it - makes a person seem like a ballbag.

    "Coke and hookers."

    Usually said by people who probably never smoked a cigarette, never mind doing coke. And this is probably the closest they'll ever get to a hooker.
