The Term, "Old Bean" Is An Overused Cliche On This Site.
Every time i see it, I want to throw up for its overuse. I know how affectionate you guys want to be with your o'l friends, but come on.

Yes well I think virtually every boring word that comes from those fingers is overused and tiresome. He thinks he is some sort of posh olden day cockerney. The first part of that word is more accurate. Probably thinks Russell Brand is funny.

It does get rather annoying, I've only ever seen its usage on this site, I've never seen or heard it else where. Using it in every day situations would seem a bit wierd I think.

Overused, definitely. It sounds like something that someone says to try and befriend you when really they're either mocking you or just trying to piss you off.

I've got nothing against "old bean" and I don't really mind it, but yeah we do read it a lot, and to be honest it's one of the nerdier salutations one could come up with. If I went to work today and called a co-worker an old bean I have no doubt they'd look at me cross-eyed and wonder if I'm still buzzed from last night's drinks.

I actually admire the old bean. It's not my saying so I enjoy hearing others say it lol

Don't be a cabbage, moreno! Or a computer potato!!! It's far better to be known as 'OLD BEAN!'
