Phrases and words that annoy you

Duggy747

People who say "Do you know what I mean?" at the end of every fúckin' sentence!!

"I'm leaving you for another woman" isn't exactly one of my favourites either.

"It's not you, it's me.........................that's ending this relationship cuz I can't stand the fúckin' sight of you!!"

Along those lines...

"You're such a good friend" or the classic "You're a really nice guy, but..."

giveth

Everyone I know calls their mother, mum or mom. And my parents called their mother the same thing 50 years ago, so its not an americanism.
I think the ma/mam thing is a dublin thing (which I actually hate).

philstar

i hate it when people (culchies esp) keep using the word "like" at the end of each sentence

you know "like" i was over there "like" she came on to me "like" aaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!:o

LillyVanilli

I cant stand when people start every sentence with "In all fairness like,.."

my missus has started saying something possibly worse:

"No Offence but [/insert something that couldn't possibly be offensive]"

e.g.

no offence but the shop is closed
no offence but this weather is crap
no offence but arcade fire is sold out



I hope it's just a passing thing

NO! My mother is a certified culchie and we never called her anything other than mam, mammy or on occasion ma. She'd address her mother as "mam" and cringe if we ever use the word "mom"

This issue might be deserving of a separate thread (that is if it hasn't already been done)

There's very few guarantees in life, except for Taxes and Death of course, but another one is if someone ever says the following:-

"I'm not a racist/sexist but......" you can be 100% guaranteed that the next utterings that come from their mouths will be of a racist/sexist nature.

RVD420

Clowns who speak in pseudo-american accents / making sentences sound like questions.....so annoying, this ain't "Clueless"!

I've a pet hate with "bud", or "budt" as they'd say.....

Describing stuff as "cat".....wtf...leave my damn cat alone!

"roysh", "delish", "mommy and doddy" etc....

missmatty

I had the mam/mum conversation in a pub lately with someone who thought that there was something wrong with me because we called my mother 'mammy' when young and 'mum' now. And we're as culchie as you can get.
I think the ma/mam thing is too Dub for me and we're from about as far from Dublin as you can get (although I work in Dublin now)

I also work with a woman who has invented a nice collection of phrases including 'in all farity' when she means 'in all fairness'.........:mad:

Wrecks me tits.

I hate this phrase. You (unless you are a rather portly gentleman) do not have tits. Therefore nothing can 'wreck' them.

Ishmael

QFT bugs me, seems like a lazy way of boosting postcount.

Overuse of the word like is also quite trying on the patience.
I've never heard anyone use "touch base", i would've assumed it was something sexual.

I hate when people say "like" and "you know?" every five words, **** me it's annoying.

You wouldn't want to move to Cork then!

I hate hearing politicians say "I'm glad you asked me that question" and then proceed to answer the question they heard, which is completely different to the one everyone else heard.
Or anything Bertie Ahern says actually....... :mad:

SuzyS1972

" with all due respect "
That one drives me mad.

I never knew a soul who called their mother " Mom " until the last few years and almost always the d4 heads or the people who would like to be d4 !

And PACIFICALLY instead of specifically .......need I say more

Oh and one last one that makes me want to smack someones face is
blah blah blah but more of a criminal offence is yada yada yada

:mad:

Trode

'Sheeple'
If ever there was a word that said "I'm an obnoxious, arrogant pr1ck, please disregard everything else I say", it's that.

Terry

Yada yada yada should only be used by fans of Seinfeld.

Mrs_Doyle

"Do ya know what I mean, Like?"

greine

"it could be worse.." - no matter how bad my day is going or how dramatic my escape from a life or death situation was, some f*cker always says.."it could be worse"..I just want to be indulged once in a while!

Huggles

"I'm not being funny but................"

Arggggggggggggggggh!

I love that expression. "jaysus, that's just cat"
what a phrase.

I hate all D4isms though. like roysh and all that crap

Pighead

Pighead hates the saying
"you might want to buy some douche to get the sand out of your vagina"
mainly because he hasn't a fcuking clue what it means. Thankfully the phrase isn't used this side of the pond.

Colonel Sanders

take a chill pill is especialy annoying. In fact any pharse using some form of 'chill' instead of relax/take it easy etc

Also anyone who trys put on an american accent (apart from americans of course!!) or people from cork/waterford/wexford in fact anywhere outside of D4 who talk like they're from D4. Once met a girl from cork who told me she'd 'lost that accent, thank god'.

Yada yada yada also makes me want to poke eyes out.

The Master

People who use the phrase
"The Rents"
When talking about their parents.
IE - "The rents a wreaking my head like , roysh"

Mom annoys the sh!t out of me. The worst has to be when people say literally when they don't mean e.g. 'I had such a bad hangover, I was literally dying' Really pisses me off.
