    WHY? why do people do this....examples..
    'i got paid today...BOOM'
    'me and the lads are off out on the town...BOOM'
    'thats what she said...BOOM'

    when i hear this word i instantly know the person who has said it is a knobhead so infact i am glad it is used in order to identify quickly and in an errorless way who i should avoid.

    so boardsies, how do you identify knobheads istantly:pac:

    I'm now poor ... BOOM ... or, eh ... BUST!

    It's an Americanism, and I've NEVER heard people end their sentences like this.

    <Urge to say "boom"....rising!>


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,390 ✭✭✭IM0

    It's most effective when bomb disposal experts say it.

    Yeah...it's similar to someone pointing out that they keep saying "like" or have a certain 'tick' in their speech pattern.

    I can forgive it if it's used in an ironic way.

    When someone tells me that they associate with people that end their sentences with BOOM :p

    I've never heard anyone say it tbh. What does drive me mad though is women that finish their sentences in Woop Woop.

    :o:rolleyes:never heard it said before tbh as far as i remember, but makes me think of this, my god i hate this!

    I say it every now and again when I am high fiving my friends after receiving good news. Oh btw, OP I went to a private school in Dublin 4 too :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    It's funnier in Dublin where people say "bewm", or even better, "bewem" (2 syllables)

    Can never understand where the latter pronunciation comes from myself :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Remmy


    I admit to saying it every now and then:o. My defence is that it features heavily in the movie training day which I have watched about a gazillion times. I doubt I say it with the same panache as Denzel however.

    Hmmm, at the end of a sentence, eh? A spurious word, hi :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 720 ✭✭✭Fight_Night


    You can tell a knobhead out if he takes off his shirt during a football match in Ireland. It's Ireland there is no need for that kind of thing. One of my friends is a terrible offender of this.

    why would one do this? the heat/sweat? or to celebrate a goal? confused.

    well thats a good job they are in bangkok and not england when they ask that then,a cat of mine is nicknamed boom boom; http://fav.me/d4uiyj0 they woud probably disappointed to recieve an overweight noisy tomcat instead of the open wallet of a prostitute client.
    he is a serious whore so the name seems suitable.:P

    -people add 'boom' to stuff as a result of sheep/bandwgon theory,same thing with people who pointlessly say 'bam' as part of their sentance;which became popular from family guy.

    a lot of chavs over here say 'boo ya' in the same way as well,ah the yoof of today.:P

    To show off the muscles.

    It can be funny with the right timing when you're on the beer. Once or twice.

    Saying "bud" at the end of every sentence, now that drives me loco.

    Do you live in Waziristan province or along the Pakistan/Afghanistan border by any chance? Are you running a suicide bomber training academy in said region btw?

    Just as long as the israeli ambassador to Palestine doesnt use it at the end of a sentence


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 476 ✭✭christ on a bike!


    I've been doing it a lot lately but wanna stop. It's cos of my work, people keep dropping bombshells or just hanging people and when yo recount to others you might use it to emphasise the gravity of their statement!

    No more than a bit of heroin it's grand in moderation

    i instantly know the person who has said it is a knobhead
    This one made me laugh. I often apply rules like that myself. Say "A" and I know you're a knobhead. This makes life so much easier.
