My Hates:  (well a few of them)

Drives me nuts when Tony Pulis and many other Managers/Coaches call a circa 27 year old player "kid" or "lad"
as in "he's a smashing kid"  How can you call someone in their late 20's a 'kid' ?

My dad used to tell a great story of how HIS grandad, at 94,  waddled down to a council garden as he often did to pass away the hours. This day he came back and my dad asked him who he'd seen, etc. He said "Just Bill Jones......(short pause) ......haven't seen him for weeks. Y'know,  he's a great kiddie."
Bill Jones was 87!

Everything, I guess, is relative.
