"Can I help you?" having just walked into a shop. If I want your help I'll ask for it.

"yeah you have a look around and i'll wait outside" :rolleyes:

"I'm off to the jacks/bog"

Uggh makes my blood boil!

"Roll her in flour and go for the wet patch"

When people call vegetables "veg" or all crisps as tayto.

Also, "Take a chill pill" It just gets me even more annoyed!

If you don't say darling daughter or darling son then why you type DD or DS?
Thankfully boards.ie crack down on this

Jesus that wrecks my head too. I cringe when I read it.

"What's crack-a-lackin?"

I dunno where that phrase came from, but it really is annoying.

I have never heard that before in my life!!

Soz = Sorry just say sorry you d1ckhead

A student that I teach said "soz" to me one day. Flippin SOZ. I didn't know whether to scream or cry.

What the hell?! Again, never heard that one.

My most HATED phrase is "Fail" or "Epic Fail". Drives me insane.

And also this new thing where teenage girls spell words really weirdly like "I luf yhuu hunni, yhuu r so gawrjus, i ken tell yhuu neting"... What is that about??

"tarring everyone with the same brush". I despise that saying.

Seems to be used every 10 mins on this site, cant you think of anything else to say that describes it?

"Blasting everyone with the same piss?"

I've never seen anything like that around here.

Culchies calling all crisps "taytos"

"A package of king taytos please horse"

retards.

Anything "out" - another culchie-ism, it doesn't even mean anything, and marks the person who uses the phrase as one to be avoided.

And the classic (though haven't had the sack to say it yet!)

" I buried my father two weeks ago"

Oh, you are an undertaker or gravedigger now are you?

Just as a bit of a precautionary tale, I should tell you that my grandmother died a few years ago. The gravediggers were gone on holidays, so we had to dig the grave, lower in the coffin and then fill the grave back in. So you might want to be careful with that.

I don't think I can add much to the conversation here if I'm honest. Most annoying phrases have been covered at this stage. Not really a phrase, but something that always gets me worked up is txt spk. Luckily, I've surrounded myself with friends who despise it as much as I do, so I'm very very rarely subjected to having to decipher any text messages I receive before I can read them.

Will be reminding you of this post any time you mention the word "hoover" then.... :pac:

I'm not from Dublin but I never heard anyone use tayto like that, until I joined this site. I hate it too though. It's just stupid.

cocoshovel

Ive never heard a culchie use the word tayto and not actually mean tayto's. Might just be a different county thing.

'You know that kind of way'.

I don't know why, but I start foaming at the mouth when someone starts peppering their conversations with that particular phrase.
I completely end up forgetting what they are talking about, I just start to really, really hate them.

One of the lads at work says at the end of every second sentence.
ALL THE TIME.
Makes him sound fecking retarded !!

Was reading a report in work a year or two, and kept coming across the abbreviation 'ITCEC'. It was really puzzling me...so in the end I caved and asked one of the managers what it stood for....

he looked at me pityingly, and said 'In The Current Economic Crisis'....:mad::mad:

Now, the phrase 'In The Current Economic Crisis' makes my blood boil, so an abbreviation of it?! He's lucky I didn't thump him with the report!!

hairyprincess

Happy out, tired out, busy out...........why the need to be 'out' at the end. Drives me mad!

Can't cope with the way people are pronouncing 'data', the American way....day-ta :mad:

When somebody counts down to something in sleeps. Eg. Only 2 more sleeps till I go to New York!

"I seen" instead of "I saw."

When somebody says "____, much?" Eg. Uptight, much? I find this phrase really condescending and it makes me want to batter whoever utters it. On boards it's often accompanied by this smiley::rolleyes:, which I also detest.

When people say "come with" as opposed to "Why don't you join us/come with us?" eg. "We're going to the shop. Want to come with?" It's insufferable.

You don't hear it much but : "You can't teach your grannny to suck eggs." Whatever the hell that means. Intriguing but annoying.

When you're telling a (really interesting, or so you think) story, and then someone ruins your punchline by saying , "And then what happened?"

Also when a dead body is referred to as 'remains.' It used to freak me out when I was younger.

"f**k my life"

or worse

"To each their own, I guess."

BAH! Nothing more than a cover up for how you really feel about my opinion.

It would seem, from my limited Googling, that it's a Snoop Dogg/gangsta thing to say...
I'm glad it's not widespread.

I was chatting with my brother's girlfriend the other day about a recent hangover that she's endured. She told me that she felt like she was going to VOM a few times during the drive back home.

I could probably accept vomit, but what's wrong with good old puke.

What is "low hanging fruit"? (I may regret asking this)

Plums. Known more colloquially as 'B0ll0cks' - a term for stupid management speak in general.

I was in Xtravision yesterday and a woman (I mean she must have been 30) says to her boyfriend/husband "O. M. G! Paranormal Activity 3!" What did she expect to find in a video shop? She was lucky it was only Xtravision and not Blunt Instruments R Us because I like totally hate that sh*t. F.G.S.

There's nothing wrong with a good old puke.

Have to disagree on this one. It can be used when warranted. I heard it often in my house often a little before "where do you bury your dead?"
