Laters

Adam

I work with a woman(though my morals hardly allow me to think of her as such in this scenario) who uses the expression "Laters!" as a means to end a conversation.

Excuse me??

She's 25. I want to slap her face and tell her to stfu. It won't be long now before I do point out the idiocy of it, it really grinds my gears.

Do any of your co-workers use words or expressions like this? And where did "Laters" even come from??

/Grr

Usually hear it from little posh southside girls

MJOR

URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH! That gets on my goat as well. I went out with a guy that would not only say it but text it too. Eg: Right I'm off to play football laters babe! FFS

Under the heading of shoving your head up your arse I advice ya to back away slowly

Kold

Innit though bruv. Yeah, I've a mixed vocab of Corkisms and Londonisms. Add in my best mates who are Cork-Dub, Cork-American and a west Cork culchie and it's quite a mixed bag.

MikeHoncho

Yeah dude, your accent is British but....
We would call ya the Corklon accent guy:p

dave.omeara

Isn't it amazing how certain words or phrases can annoy the holy hell out of you.
I worked with a guy once, and if you were having a crap day and just complaining and moaning about it, he'd turn to you and go 'Ah dry your eyes mate'. Wound me up to the last.

Later All.

Why do you wear a scarf when it's not cold? Fashion is why. Laters is in and probably just another passing phrase.

I don't use it myself but it wouldn't bother me if someone else did.

Hah, I'm a jumble. The other day, someone was like "You're half Asian!? I thought you were like.. mediteranean or something!" Known this guy over a year, this led to an argument about what I looked, with my half Chinese mate saying that I was white lol.

That picture was taken in this country, in a shed, at about eight in the evening, in January.

Good effort though!

Fashion is not always about intelligence either. Don't like it but wouldn't pick someone up on it unless I knew them well. I blame it on sheer laziness and the misguided delusion that English only has 200 words or so and that all of them can be shortened, mangled and re-arranged any way you like.

Could be, lol. I think most people haven't a clue what I am. When someone says "Where are you from?" I say "London" and most leave it at that. Some people pick up on me being half Asian pretty quickly though. I wouldn't say it's obvious that I've oriental blood.

Way to bring the thread back on topic. All that talk of hair and scarves was making me nervous

My sister overuses "Whatever", in that sarcastic 'I just won the argument in one word' way...it just annoys me enough to not give up!

Loopy

Ha ha, yeh my sister used to say 'Get over it' all the fucking time..

She used to rob my clothes and when I caught her and ripped her head off I'd get 'Get over it, nothing you can do about it now'..:eek:

WTF.. Get over it, isn't gonna get you out of being caught rapid wearing my brand new white jeans (that I havent even worn yet)... BITCH!!....
