Phrases that annoy you.....

steo87

The ones that annoy the fook outta me are the likes of:

"for lack of a better word" / "for want of a better word" / "happy days"

Mostly from that Adrian Kennedy show.

What phrases annoy you when you hear them?

Feelgood

Yore Ma...

(Is definitely one)

phenomenon

"yore ma"

longshanks

fook annoys me, its fuck

Sharpshooter

The obvious one , but I am not going to say it.

Kya1976

hate when people say 'pacific' when they mean 'specific'
'at the end of the day'
'it's all for the best'

drunkmonkey

tbh,

that annoys the fook out of me, even started to use it myself, need to nip that in the bud...

Tha Gopher

It's all good in the hood.



Only the last year or so people have begun saying this ad nauseaum. It sounded good at the end of that DMX song sometime ago. It has little relevance when said to you by people in the office 3 times a day.

The other week I gave some info (dunno what) to a sup, and he says "yeap, no probs, its all good...."
me (please dont say it, please dont say it)
him "yeah....its all good in the hood"

I nearly had the same type of mental snap Michael Douglas has in Falling Down. ugh.

Phototoxin

Davidius

Words like "bloke" and "summat" annoy me.

I'll swap places with you. Brianthebard can also talk about himself in the third person when called upon.

A guy I went to school with used to put on a brutal Manchester accent and say stuff like that! :mad:

ollaetta

"Going forward" as used incessantly by politicians, business men and reporters.

What the fcuk is wrong with "in the future"?

seadog9

xxxx is a poor mans xxxx.

That quote is a simply put a poor mans quote.

Drag00n79

'Happy out'
'Don't get me wrong but ...'

Collie D

"In the wrong place at the wrong time" when used by the media when some poor plumber or rugby player is shot dead. These lads were doing their job/walking home from a night with their mates. I t was the scum with the gun who was in the wrong place

tony 2 tone

"ledge", "leg end" and to a lesser extent "legend"
As in, "Dara, you're a fookin' ledge, like!" I hate it so much :mad:

drunkmonkey

"I'm not upset"

lying bitch your ****ing raging and will probably slap my first born....

@sam, tbh, tla's were nmt:)

ollaetta

And another one I've hated for years: "what's the story?" :mad:

With or without the "bud" it's painful.

I was implying that the sentence doesn't make sense.:pac:

Switcharoo

"extracting the urine" - yeah, we get it already - very clever. You're a cock. Same with "howaya horse" & "happy days".

And all the usual Southsider ones: "on your tobler", "he's a total ledge", "a pint of probs", etc. C*nts.

Then there's the dopes who sing "isn't it ironic" (ala Alanis Morissette), any time someone says something is ironic.

Was nice knowing ya Switcharoo!

On topic, the over-use of the word "alledgedly" has gone beyond ridiculous.

Davidius

Reading text messages and seeing the (misspelled) word "ledgend" was always a little annoying.

What's actually ironic is that none of her examples of irony are ironic at all.

Spunge

"im not racist, but..."

Holsten

A word - Yee.

"All of yee"
"Yee are all crazy"

Etc..

craiginireland

I hate it when people say:
"It'll be the last place you look" - Of course it will be!!!

That and "Sir, You're making a scene".

cufroige

Most Definately the complete and utter perpetual abuse of the word 'Like"

He was like, what's that suppose to mean &
I was like whatya mean
And he was like ...
And I was like ...
An we were were like...

...Like what? MUPPETS? Oh you're LIKE muppets alright

STOP THE INSANITY!!! :(:(

PS... must add.. I have a friend who starts every sentence with the phrase
"I'm not sayin an'in buh....
LOL

SoWatchaWant

"Ah, this is it" (mostly Dublin Taxi drivers). If it weren't for this expression, taxi rides would be silent and awkward.

@Spunge:
Beat me to "I'm not racist, but"... it's a big one.

Did anyone hear that one used in the west for going on the piss?

"We're goin lushin".

Not annoying but funny.

Zwillinge

"That's so random!"
"It was such a random night!"
"OMG, this is so random."

Things being referred to as random in general, I think!

That one's been getting popular in Limerick recently.

It's almost as annoying as "We're goin' spinnin' " when youngfellas drive around in old cars for no apparent reason.

SoWatchaWant

N*ggers...

Anyone like to hazard a guess?

SoulReaperDan1

Yeah mannerisms annoy me, like my brother used to say at the end of every sentence 'Do you know what I mean?' really quickly, it used to bug the hell out of me. I'm also recalling that big brother special of 8 out of 10 cats with that Charley girl-

'I'm not being funny but...' :rolleyes:

just thought of another, referring to pints as jars, and cans as tins. It don't get much more Irish than that!!

Wishbone Ash

"The day you buy is the day you sell".

What a stupid thing to say! :rolleyes:

implausible

Holsten wrote: »

First of all, it's spelt 'ye'.

It is the 3rd person plural, which you find in most languages, and all West of Ireland people are being very precise and eager to avoid confusion by using it. In fact, we are continuing on a proud tradition from our native tongue and indeed Mr Shakespeare by using it.

BTW I get dog's abuse from students for using this and I'm just not gonna take it anymore!!!:mad::mad::D

jandm

At the end of the day...

bealbocht

nannyways / a'nannyway / an nannyways

but is seems , people who use it, dislike being told "it is not a word" more than I dislike the word.

and

"happy out" ...
