People who close an email or an actual convestaion with "cheers".

a) it is not original or clever, everyone does it
b) its not quaintly british sounding, everyone american does it
c) and unless you are handing me a cocktail, it is not cool.

It is the mojito, no, the 1992 goatee of signoffs. It was cool if you were one of the first five to import it here from London. How many ways are there to say "I am a follower, someone who has never had an oringial thought in my life, someone hwo is ten years behind the curve"?

I plan to start answering "Cheers" with "Tally ho" in both email and IRL. This should ensure that absolutely no one will ever talk to me again.

Have you been Xmas shopping lately?

Concur. Unless clothed in an authentic British accent, this rings false.

A colleague of mine uses that for every conversation I've had with him. Every one. (I think he's from Indiana.)

He's not the only one I've seen use it, but he's so goddamned persistent in it that this stupid signoff has become the first thing I remember about him, which in this case is not good.

I pretend to be less arrogant and narcissistic here than I am in real life.

Congratulations, it is working.

My HS soccer coach used to say "lovely" all of the time. "Oh, lovely ball Coltrane." He was from Pennsylvania. Not only did he still not sound English, he was made fun of often by his players.

I make killer hummus using the recipe on the back of the package of Bob's Red Mill Garbanzo Bean Flour. Check here for a store in your area. The nice thing about making it yourself is you control the level of garlic. I like lots, too, but it is key to make sure that people who will be sleeping together either both eat or both don't eat.

Maybe not at the time. But the stories, if ever you were to share them, or even hint at them, would be man pleasing, although surely you would only tell them, or hint at them, to please yourself.

Ouch.

Here I was just trying to make conversation, and you wound me.

Well, I suppose I'll just go back to pleasing myself. There's certainly no pleasing you.

Nothing says "I played once with some real English footballers" than using their lingo while coaching.

Fortunately, my JHS coach also had a semi-legitimate british accent, and pedigree, when he said this stuff.

That was a "I know it when I see it" kind of explanation. You have said nothing. How specifically am I talking about sex that makes you think I am male?

That would be because it is a I know it when I see it kind of thing.

I think you could make some more conversation, along the lines you proposed, and please a few folks, including Not Me.
