    What slang words or sayings said where you live annoy the living sh1te out of you!?

    Here, in Cork, there's the adding of 'isn't it' at the end of the sentences! Maybe you wouldn't notice it but if you listen out for it you notice everytime its said thereafter and drives you mental!

    e.g: ''the weathers hot today, isn't it?'' , ''god that box is heavy isn't it?'' or ''look at that man over there, he's short, isn't he?''

    Annoys the crap outta me, here in my work everyone uses it constantly at lunch, so i have to listen to music just to not hear them say it!

    What everyday sayings or slang annoys you??

    People who say "rock" in place of "walk". eg "I rocked on down to the pub after work". Makes me cringe every time. :mad: Seem to hear it often from pretentious UCD types, which made me wonder if it might have originated there?

    My sister used to use the word 'trek' when she didn't want to do something/doesn't like it i.e.

    Me: Do the washing
    Her: Ah Trek

    Me: I was working all day
    Her: Trek

    It eventually ended when I found her the dictionary definition of the word 'trek' :p

    The other thing that really annoys me is pretentious fools using the word 'mayo' when it's mayonnaise :mad:

    What was her definition of 'trek'? All I get from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/trek is that it means "A journey by ox wagon, especially a migration such as that of the Boers from 1835 to 1837."

    Immediately sever all ties to the person who said that, change phone numbers, move house, surgically alter your face if you have to.

    I dont know if people still do this but when I was in school in Munster 'fair' meant 'a lot'.

    e.g. "She's a fair beor"............GRRRRRAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!!



    Also 'Ledge' is an awesome word

    "me muckers had a bash for me so they did" "it got in my road so it did" "I minded the weans so I did"...half my family is from Donegal and most of the time I don't have a clue what they're talking about so I don't.

    edit: also they call people "sir", I still think it's a bit odd seeing my dad, who's in his forties, calling his teenage nephews sir
