    When young people, under the age of 30, describe a pub as a "haunt".

    "Ah yeah that's Gerry Dunne's haunt."

    Stopping speaking like a 63-year-old Tipp man please.

    "Are you for real?"

    I'm sure it might sound cool in an American accent, but in an Irish one it just sounds embarrassing. Cringe when I hear it being said.

    "As ...... alluded to..."

    Every single GAA pundit seems to use this phrase these days.

    And another wanky business phrase I hear used is, for example, "the <insert company name> family".

    It's utter bollox and manipulation. No business, particularly big companies, are a family or like a family. Businesses try to make money and as soon as it makes financial/business sense to get rid of you they will.

    I've absolutely no issue with that, it's the nature of the beast, but don't tell me we're a family. I can't remember the last time I sat the wife and kids down to say "You know, financially we're not as well off as we were, so I'm going to have to leave one of you go." Or "Okay son, we've come to the end of the year so let's take a look at your performance over the last year. I'm afraid you didn't reach your goals so you'll be only getting one small Christmas present."

    Family my hole. Anyone who buys into that sh1t needs their head read.

    Leave someone go.

    You must be from the Munster area?

    What's wrong with 'let'

    C'mon man......

    When a fashion article describes a skirt or whatever as "bringing you from work to play". I don't know why but it irritates me so much.

    Business speak in general is horrific. "Heads up" is another phrase I despise - as in "thanks for the heads up on that." Yuck.

    I'm going for a poo.

    My least favourite word is poo. I hate the connotations. When I hear that word, I can't help but visualise a half-filled cereal bowl of a chocolate mouse-like shit.

    Fully agree, I mean dealing with a child it doesn't necessarily bother me nearly as much (although the sound of it is still disgusting) but when you hear grown adults using the term, ****ing hell that's annoying.

    Or when folk get into the habit of saying 'exactly' to a point made, regardless of how exact the point is.

    "You never know what's around the corner", generally said after news of something terrible...just incase that something might not be depressing enough some people feel the need to say that to remind everyone that life is dreadful.
