and use this phrase as a way of merely affirming that their use of the English language has been sufficently understood by their company.

I think its used moreso as a plea for agreement with the point they're making.

"Well, I've no sympathy for ya" After I say I've a hangover. I'm not looking for sympathy, just ask me where I was.

On the flip side, people who complain all day, "I'm so hung-over" no yer not, by 4.00, hang over is over, yer just tired, fúck off.

"Can I borrow a fag" just say it; Can I scab a fag, yer fooling nobody.

The term "Horse" when referring to somebody, I'll admit though, I'm guitly of calling people "Mate", "Chief" or "Man" if I don't know their name, but I'll always ask a girk her name though.

"Smile, it may never happen" Fúck off and mind yer own business.

"I puked up my ring"

"What time is the 5.00 bus usually here at" Ummmmm 5, followed by, "when it's comming". It's late, I don't know.

"Is this supposed to be a joke" Yes it is, you know well it is, get a sense of humour.

When charity collectors say "Do you have a minute?" Why don't you just say "Can I have you Bank a/c Number & Sort code please?" Its what you really mean isn't it.

sound

Roysh-as in the parody of how posh people say right

Are ye drinkin'? Yes, I think maby some green tea. Why does the word drinking become associated with consuming alcohol?

Fat Frog-Like what the f***, who invented this crap?

I just do not see why people cannot say cool.

The 5.00 bus is usually comes at 5? On time? It doesn't sound like DB or BE!

i hate when people say spag bol instead of spaghetti bolognaise.....

Dubliners who vilify anyone who lives beyond the pale -excepting perhaps the commuter towns such as naas as being "culchies". Yes there are some total bogers, but we have towns and cities to you know.

crips
single of chips
jax
vulgar referance to your bodily functions - I don't want to know what you have to do, just say "I'm hot" or "I'm just going to the bathroom" no need for more details.
incorrect use of "literally"

anything d'unbelievables say

The Irish are smart, we were the land of Saints and Scholars- and now we get represented by a bunch of annoying people who exploit a negative image of Ireland and of the intellect of the Irish

those overly PC people who seem determined to strip everyone Irish/native of their rights, with the exception of travellers

oh and fat frog is a drink, comes in 2 int glasses and looks and tastes like fat frog ice pops used to

Onbelievable

It's unbelievable, un!

Irish people asking for bacon instead of rashers.

People who come up the stairs on a bus, have a quick look for a double seat that's free and go back down and stand if there are none, even though there are plenty of available seats.

It's public transport. You may be required to sit beside a stranger. This then has the knock on effect of downstairs being crowded and the driver driving by some stops even though there are plenty of seats.

Edit: I know the bus thing isn't a word or phrase but it's just as annoying.

deman

"Guys" when it's aimed at a group of girls.

Guys is for guys, not gals.

Back to putting "like" in after every second word, only poncey IDIOTS over here in America do that. You have to think you're an "it" girl and be under the age of 18 to talk like that.

It drives anyone else insane...
