    Just read through this whole thread and agree with nearly every single post.
    "Happy out" in particular makes me want to drive nails into my eardrums. Most of my friends use it and I just can`t understand it.
    "Random". Everything seems to be fucking "random" these days. NO IT`S NOT.
    I`ve noticed my daughter using "I guess" to answer every bloody question lately as well. She`s watching too much American crap on tv.
    Also,why have nearly all women started "lifting" the last word in every sentence making everything sound like a question? It`s an Australian thing but surely every woman in Ireland hasn`t been to Australia,have they?

    There's the blatant mispronunciaton of words. There's just no excuse for it.

    Did you go for pints last night so you did?
    Did you meet that girl you fancy so you did?
    Will you be meeting her tomorrow so you will?
    I think she is mad about you so she is

    You are from the Midlands and talk like this so you do :cool:

    'Its alright for couples without kids'

    This really winds me up. yeah we don't have kids but we still have bills to pay. We shouldn't be footing the bill because others with loose knicker elastic chose to have kids they couldn't afford. Childrens allowance should be means tested.

    Misuse of the word "literally."
    OMG, I literally died.
    No you did not, because you are literally standing in front of me you moron.

    Also, any of these ****in phrases of the month that are supposed to be cute and quirky but are just fake and annoying. Think the current one is "amazeballs." And anyone who actually says OMG or LOL should be punched in the jaw

    I hate the phrase 'first world problems'. It's like saying that because there are people starving in the world that no one should ever complain about anything minor. The phrase is usually said by people sitting at their computers, complaining about other people complaining.

    The constant peppering of conversation with the phrases "just like" and "random" for the purpose of filler.

    "It was ... just like... so random, I was just like randomly walking down the road... when I met this random guy, and he just like said something totally random"


    If you're not intelligent enough to speak really quickly, then speak slower and form proper sentences. :mad:

    'Grammar Nazi'
    Political correctness/health and safety "gone mad"

    I agree that it's rude and often pointless to nitpick people's grammar.

    And sometimes it's good to be critical of the culture of political correctness and/or health and safety when it is stupidly applied.


    But please for Christ's sake please think of some other ways to express it and stop repeating the same two f*cking expressions.

    When someone says literally,

    Example; Then she fell over! I literally pissed myself!"

    And they really do not mean literally. Why say that? The word has been corrupted to so much that people think it means the exact opposite of what it really means.


    Also

    'It's very mild'

    'Oh, it's very rich'

    Shut up you boring idiots! :pac:

    I still haven't made my peace with ''the shift''. I suppose it was brought back a couple of years ago in an ironic capacity, but now everyone uses it.

    The guy in front of me in work is a project manager and when a conference call finishes x minutes earlier than expected he says "thanks guys - here, have x minutes back in your calendar".

    When people overly use the word "Bye" at the end of a phonecall eg. "Bye, bye, bye, bye, b.." One is enough you _ _ _ t!

    Females who refer to their female mates as "Lads" - "C'mon lads." They're lasses!

    "Storeeeee?" - Get 2 f *ck!


    Walking down the street when someone you don't know approaches you and uses the term "Bud" - I ain't your "bud" and I'd rip your thorax out if I could get away with it.

    When you're eating lunch at your desk and someone says "Ooo, what you got there?" My f* cking lunch "bud" - now pi ss off and let me eat it.

    "Can I help you?" having just walked into a shop. If I want your help I'll ask for it.

    "Oh their heart is in the right place"

    Of course it is! Unless there has been some anatomical mix up of course

    And the classic (though haven't had the sack to say it yet!)

    " I buried my father two weeks ago"

    Oh, you are an undertaker or gravedigger now are you?
