    The character was a foul mouthed grandmother referred to as 'Nan'. It's hard to say what age she was supposed to be but at a guess I'd say she was supposed to be in her seventies. I think the episode was broadcast in 2003 or 2004. I think the quote was "It's too last minute.com". She also said in a later episode "it's too f***ing late.co.uk".

    That was a pretty big deal when that website launched on the stock exchange, as that was the point at which it all started to go wrong and people realised that the internet superhighway thing wasn't actually paved with gold.

    Was good fun at the time though.

    That .com thing is like soo two years ago. :P

    Another seriously annoying brain-dead trend.......the word "like" does not belong in that sentence, and there is only one "o" in "so".

    Yeah. That was the joke. Hence the emoticon.

    ya think that's bad,
    I'm in a country where the kids actually say LOL as a word, I've had to explain to them in classes that it's not a word and what it stands for,
    it very strange to hear someone actually say lol.

    but the .com thing thats really old, at least 6 maybe even 8 years old.
    Just goes to show how influential moronic daytime radio DJs are in Ireland

    My apologies, it's only lately I've seen it going on, didn't know it was going on for years. It's quite a long trend then isn't it, or did it die and suddenly just come back lately?

    I cite Dennis Leary's Lock and Load from 2000/2001. I remember him saying it way too much back then: "WWW.WHATTHEFUCK.COM".

    It's a phase that will pass. It's used by those pretending to be hip/with it.

    The previous phase is/was the use of the word 'random' in very deterministic situations. You will find many Facebook picture albums called 'Randomness'.

    I first heard it in 2008, so it is hardly a new, hip phase. Think it was pretty well used at that stage too.

    Anybody using it now probably should head to lastminute.com

    back in the 90s this was in one of the austin powers films.
    dr evil telling a talkative mini me to 'zip it' and he said www.zip-it.com.

    This was historically the first recorded known use of the expression.
    What do I win ?

    Hmm. This craze must've passed me by the first time around. But I can feel the keyboard rage welling up if someone does post that sort of sh*t online. (I've witnessed this recently on a friends' facebook post).

    I do have a mate, that, when drunk he shouts "offmegee.ie". It's funny, for a while.

    As time goes on more and more people I know especially on facebook seem to be using .com after every verb, for example I'm bored.com, I'm tired.com, wrecked.com. FFS it's awful, who came up with this? I've heard Ruth Scott on 2fm using this as well.

    First of all I thought it was just girls that done it, now I noticed a former class mate update his facebook status with wrecked.com. It's cringe worthy!

    Facebook is for tits!!!
