    The use of lol, rofl, lmao, lmfao or any other acronym like that especially when people use it in every single F*CKING sentence.

    Example:

    "How are you? lol"
    "Fine. You?"
    "Not too bad. lol"

    FFS

    I hate HaTe HATE the phrase to 'shift' someone when referring to kissing someone...it's just disgusting. It sounds wrong, as if you're doing something much more physical than just kissing them!!

    "Its the same but different" what?! thats a complete contradiction, it makes no sense.

    Also how can something be "New AND improved"? cause if its new, its the first of its kind, and improved denotes that something had to have come before it.

    And acronyms, gah, ROFL. In the words of David O'Doherty WHO reads a text and actually rolls about on the floor in laughter, nobody does that!! AAH!

    'My bad'

    Hate this too

    Not really a phrase but I hate people who pronounce the "ing" at the end of words as "een"

    E.G. "I'm go-een now"

    Listen to the tart on Matt Cooper who does the voice over for the Irish Times plug for excellent examples

    (massively off topic, whenever I hear the guy who announces 'This is the last word, with Matt Cooper' I just want to punch someone. The bloke sounds like he's constipated)

    "If it saves a single life it'll be worth it"
    - can be used to justify any stupid ****ing idea some stupid ****ing committee comes up with. Generally used with reference to banning something everyone thought was fun until some idiot bastard-child cappered himself doing it.

    "I'm going to be the bigger man here and..."
    - the instant you said that you stopped being the bigger man.

    "Savage".

    I think it's a Munster phrase meaning 'great' or something? Can't help but feel my opinion of anyone who says it diminish rapidly.
