Doubt it; can I add "Enjoy" to the list.

I have to admit that I've become guilty of this these days. When I first moved over here, I said I'd stay true to my British way of speaking, but I've picked up a lot of the American terms already. I even find myself saying, 'tuh-may-dohs' and 'buh-nan-uhs', occasionally. Shame on me!
Have a nice day.... and it's a pleasure ( when it obviously isn't a pleasure )
My Bin Lids insist on saying take-out and not take-away. Wot's all that about.

What, they really mean you are a tosser?
I'll get my friend Himmy on to you. He's an expert.
My preferred retort, just to see if the original questioner is actually listening is, as follows.
Questioner asks, How are you doing today???
Response, I am doing everyone just stand in line??
It is actually interesting, because, about 40% of those that I say this to fail to grasp it??
Pleasantries, in a lot of instances have become meaningless, something that passes the time prior to the main event?
