    'No offence' - ugh and then the b*stards go and say something offensive. I remember it from primary school, school yard wagons used to say it all the time.

    'No offence but you're ugly'. 'No offence but you're hair is horrible'. 'No offence but no one likes you'.

    Peeps. I really cannot stand it when people use the word peeps. Not as in 'She peeps though the blinds', but 'hey peeps, look what I did' Urgh :(

    Massive. A lot of the youth say it to describe something that's cool.

    I was left dumbfounded when I heard this in the gaeltacht many moons ago.

    One of the Dublin girls said to me 'Your jumper is massive'. I wanted to deck her until I realised it was a compliment. :o

    Strange but true: Stephen Fry doesn't like "moist" either, and once wrote a piece about his distaste for a lavatory-based personal hygiene product called "Moist Wipes".

    There's one I dont like. Lavatory. Is it pronounced Lav A Tree ? Or Lav At Or Ee ? Or Lav at Ory ?

    Either way it sounds too much like there's experimenting going on and if there's one thing we all know its that the bog is a place for business, not experimenting.

    incentivise

    A nonsense word. Nothing wrong with encourage.

    I agree. People who use that word are in danger of meddling with the very foundations of our fragile existence.

    I don't like when people say sexsual when they mean sexual. Anne Doyle used to say sexsual abuse a lot when she read the news.

    Even if he said "sex" it would be revolting, coming from him.

    Ban this filth!

    Mom.

    Why my friends feel the need their children call them that when we grew up with an Irish "Mammy", I'll never understand. I know it is American but leave it there.

    The opposite for me. "Mammy" is like nails on a chalk board for me. My own mother also found "Mammy" unbearable and did not want us to use that term.
