Giving a "Like" thingmajing to a one single word post (though granted you, it IS two syllables at least) is a bit over the top I would say? Kind of like giving one to Trump ... who -- as we all know -- is 100% illiterate. It tends to cheapen "Likes".
American, right?
Nothing against Josan.

sometimes there is nothing that can be said to you and remain polite. But then you might be unfamiliar with the convention of signifying a thank you when receiving good wishes.

I put that in the same category as the waiter who demands "Enjoy!" when placing my food in front of me on the table or - the greatest cardinal sin of all - someone in a service industry whose response is "Not a problem"; it immediately raises the question "Oh, there could be problems?"

Other things that annoy me since we're on the subject are people who ask a waiter "Can I have ...?" If it's on the menu, you can have it. All you say is "I'll have ..."

Thank you. Now I understand you better; you live a horrid existence. Poor you.

Or if American... "Gimme". Now that really grates with me.

But why? It's just American slang. All nations have a colloquial voice. I recall several films set in Scotland where I had to turn on subtitles. While I never had to =resort to that with films set in other English speaking countires the fact remains that there are slag expressiosn that I miss for every nation. However, it hardly grates on me, I just wish I knew more.

But why?

It sound crass, rude and impatient. I have never heard it said with the word please either.

All Ive heard is "Give me a Budwiser".
