Dont let it upset you OP, get out and enjoy the nice weather!

The beauty of language is that it evolves as we use new words and expressions. Embrace the change.

Nah, have you seen the fitness level of a lot of Irish people, no chance of them jogging anywhere

I always thought it was a vaguely scouse thing. Certainly growing up in Birkenhead, I heard it an awful lot.

I'll see your "jog-on" and raise you a "sorry bout you"

RebelButtMunch

Get the boat!

donegaLroad

I have never heard anyone saying that.

AnonoBoy

I like it.

It's insulting but also promotes exercise.

It's a whole lot better healthwise than the famous old phrase "P*ss off and eat a donut you mug!"

I first heard it in that Simon Pegg movie Hot Fuzz, so about 10 years ago. Are you saying it goes back further than that?
I quite like the phrase. The only thing wrong with it is it's no good if you're seething with rage. But in a situation where you just want to express irritation with a slightly annoying person, it's useful.

theteal

It hasn't quite got the same ring as "get the boat ya bleeeedin' dzope"

thegreatgonzo

I get annoyed when people say rinse and repeat when they are talking about anything other than hair washing or something that involves actual rinsing.
And there's a stupid song out called rinse and repeat to make it worse :-(

I remember people saying that in school in Limerick about 20 years ago

gramar

'no biggie' is one of the many that annoy me.

Something being 'well good' or 'well nice' is one that I'm hearing more and more often.

Yeah? I was born in 93, and I've been hearing it my whole life on Merseyside and what not.

Football Factory is 12 years old, it's hardsly a new phrase

I think I first heard the phrase in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels about 18 years ago.

Oh wait, it might have been in RocknRolla. Damn. Now I'll have to watch both films to make sure.

Arghus

I've seen it written, but not once heard it said.

It's one of those affected geezerisms that sound strange coming out of anybody round here.

I hate this one.. it makes no sense whatsoever!

At least "jog on" has some sort of logic to it, as in "move along/f*ck off" but "Happy out" is just nonsense!

I take it to mean happy throughout oneself:)

Yeah, you sound like a ride or a **** to relieve a bit of stress mightn't go astray. Enjoy.

AFAIK only Cockney **** say it.

thegreatgonzo

Simples. Often used by Boards users, the condescending types.

Calibos

I'm another 'Happy Out' hater.

WTF? I've definitely only started hearing it or reading it here in the last year or so but anyone I hear using it in conversation always insists they've always said it.

RebelButtMunch

You know what I think about this thread.... I could care less
FFS It's I Couldn't Care Less!

I am London-Irish, lived in London for 33 years, and Ireland the last 6. The funny thing is, I never heard anyone say; jog on in London. The first I heard of it was in Dublin. Although by that stage Danny Dyer and Football Factory type films had popularised the saying like a social cancer. These things come and go.
When I was young everything was safe; safe trainers man. Then it was bad. That's a bad tune man. And now we have sayings like jog on; its no different to what's the craic? Or what's the story? These things are popular for a while, then it reaches saturation point and people get bored and move on to the next one. Savage, gas, fierce, wild, etc. All just words of the time.
Gay used to mean happy for example. And in years to come telling someone to jog on may well have a different meaning to f.uck off.
One thing I have noticed is that the internet has meant teens are using more American sayings in Ireland than previously.
Another thing is that in London, more cockneys are using Jamaican Yardi slang. Times change I suppose, language and fashions.

I agree with all on this thread.

I will ass 'Amazeballs' to the list

Although it is a handy, and quick way to spot a wanker.
