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??

"At the end of the day"

:mad:

bonerm · 26-05-2010 2:14pm

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'

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."

molloyjazz · 26-05-2010 2:26pm

How do Cork people say No?

"I will yeah"*

* requires sarcastic cork voice

molloyjazz · 26-05-2010 2:27pm

people in the north say.. so i did, so i will after everything they did or will do.

xoixo · 26-05-2010 2:33pm

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

Glenster · 26-05-2010 2:49pm

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

It's still goin with people from Tipp and Waterford

"Well boy it's fair warm outside aint' it?"

It's not the words that annoy me - it's the accent

D'Agger · 26-05-2010 3:01pm

My everyday saying which definately pisses everyone off is:

"I don't care what they say about you, you're alright"

Anyway it's run its course but if anybody wishes to purchase the patent pm me

Novella · 26-05-2010 3:01pm

When people use the word 'sure' like this, "Ah shure isn't it a grand day!", "Ah shure go on, I will have a cup of tea."

My very favourite, "Ah shure it'll be grand!"

When pronounced correctly it's "Asher"

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5 · 26-05-2010 3:10pm

Ooh, there's one in Cork "sure how bad!" which seems to mean "sure that's the way it's supposed to be/don't worry about that" so somebody says "Jaysis like I was gattin on there at me 21st, completely pissed, can't remember a thing like" and the reply is "sure how bad, it was a 21st"

Someone I know was doing her college dissertation on suicide in the traveller community, she was on the phone to her dad and started giving out about all the work she'd to do, and he goes (all in a strooong Cork accent)

"what's it on anyway?"
"suicide in the traveller community"
"what's that?"
"well da, we're trying to find out why their suicide figures are so high, loads of the young men are killing themselves and it's getting worse"
"sure how bad" :eek:

flower tattoo · 26-05-2010 3:12pm

'well he turned around and said this so i turned around and said that' -

what way are we all facing now......

topper75 · 26-05-2010 3:14pm

We are all guilty of at least one of the above; but I cannot justify them.

The most susceptible to memes are younger females. They can hardly utter a sentence without one.

thebigbiffo · 26-05-2010 3:14pm

brainless 'mid-atlantic' chick from longford but thinks she's in LA: "ohmigod ohmigod ohmigod ohmigod ohmi*smack*"

me: "say ohmigod one more ****in time and it's the ring hand yer getting"

BMACLTILA: "ohmigod that guy just slapp*smack*"

Me: "i told ya it was comin"

this thread fails without money saving frugal advice tbh

TanG411 · 26-05-2010 3:17pm

People who use a sarcastic ''Err a sure''. Like ''Err a sure it's not all bad''.

Same with a post above, the ''Sure how bad'' is annoying too.

D'Agger · 26-05-2010 3:19pm

So she goes "Really?"
Then he goes "Swear to god"
So she goes "You're can't be serious"

So I goes "Stop saying 'he/she goes' or I'll stab you in the face" :mad:

Radharc na Sleibhte · 26-05-2010 3:20pm

It's annoying when an attractive woman says that because it leaves you thinking "yeah and I wish I was on your tits and all".

Double-standard. It's not fair goddamit! :mad: How would the ladies like it if blokes went round complaining about everything and finishing the thought with "it really gets on my wallet, ya know!"

W.Shakes-Beer · 26-05-2010 3:32pm

"Bwaha...aawh Happy Days!" - Cant stand that saying.

"CHHHUUUUTTT YER MOUT(H)!" - by the local scumbags.

"aw haw haw, Fíonn! Put your log into me!" - general toff-ery.

"Cummere til I tell ye..." - random aul fellas in pubs.

"oh?.....I was scarleh!" - female teeny bopper.

I could go on.
