Please and Thank You

Saying or writing "Please and thank you" at the end of a request can be a sensible shorthand between an aging parent and a loving son, daughter or grandchild. The more old people depend on the busy young, the more important it is for the elderly not to waste time with extended exchanges so 'please and thank you' is an assumption, based on previous familial knowledge, that a simple request will be carried out without requiring a reply.

"Hi darling - could you pick up a book from the library - please and thank you - luvmum" to which the usual reply is "Yup, can do . . . luv" Two short emails, no time wasted and a request fulfilled. If all dealings with the elderly were as simple and as kind, it would be a happier world.

Coattail Thank You

Any additional thank you's added to an original thank you. A coattail thank you requires less sincerity and initiative.

Boy 1: Hey Dad, thanks for buying us this yacht!

Boy 2: Yeah thanks.

Boy 1: You're stealing my thank you! That was a coattail thank you!

thank you portion

Getting what you really want.

โ€œScrew starvation!โ€ yells Oprah (no, not that Oprah). โ€œScrew Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Paleo, Keto, raw, Mediterranean, Noom! Iโ€™m on this planet just one time (I think) and I want a bowl of hot fudge sauce decorated by a little dab of ice cream! To be followed a full bowl of sweet, sweet whipped cream. Thatโ€™s just for starters. I'm saying no to no thank you. I want a thank you portion!โ€

โ€œMicroAlice,โ€ cooed MacroAlice, bending over the toddlerโ€™s high chair at Gordon Ramsay Hellโ€™s Kitchen in Las Vegas, and wielding a small silver spoon. "Would babykins at least take a no thank you portion of strained peas?โ€
โ€œMother,โ€ said MicroAlice โ€“ and these were her first intelligible words โ€“ โ€œI would prefer a trencher of whatever you and my esteemed father are consuming. Osso buco with smashed cheesy garlic potatoes and roasted lemon zest out-of-season asparagus would be just fine, a thank you portion! Don't forget the molten chocolate lava cake.โ€

Thank-you muchly

A expression of thanks most commonly used by overly cheerful people who think they are clever and original. Often heard in the customer service industry.

Customer - "Here's your tip. Thank-you muchly!"
