When I was a kid(in 90s)... I had seen this tendency among villagers/illiterates/dehaatis... (no offense meant) that they used to pick up certain english phrases(dialogues) from movies & often repeated them meaninglessly & felt proud in themselves... For eg. "You shut up"/"get out" etc.
Same today I observe with Madarsachaap nation of Pakistan. They also pick up English phrases & repeat it meaninglessly & feel delighted as if they did something big. For ex... "Tea is fantastic"/"Wait and watch" & nowadays "ABSOLUTELY NOT"
Had my countrymen been doing same today... I would have felt ashamed but thank God... tens of millions are professionally conversant in English so much so that we don't feel any delight in it.
