    **** the D.A.A.?

    Do you hate the D.U.P.?

    Cover your ears when you hear the Y.M.C.A.?

    Does a lack of R.E.S.P.E.C.T. infuriate you?

    F.A.Q.s not answering your questions?

    Worried your missus prefers B.B.C., while you prefer R.T.E.?

    Well to be fair, D.U.P is understandable since they are a complete shower of cnuts.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

    By the way, OP, if something annoys or irritates you, it's getting "on your wick," not "on your wig." Just FYI. :)

    Nimby as a word or nimby as a phenomenon


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 32,688 ✭✭✭✭ytpe2r5bxkn0c1


    Nimby as a word or nimby as a phenomenon

    Has to be as an acronym; being the topic. And as a phenomenon it would be nimbyism; which in itself is a noun that is not an acronym, although derived from one.


    WAGs is one that I dislike because it seems to have a built in disrespect to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,255 ✭✭✭pavb2


    Nimby as a word or nimby as a phenomenon

    Both, but more so the phenomenon as it can be a bit self centred unless of course you're Bob Geldof or Lily Allen who took in all those refugees.

    Trouble with acronyms is you look them up on Urban Dictionary and an hour later you are still reading definitions. Well! Fancy that!

    PATRIOT Act. They so badly wanted to call it the patriot act that they sandwiched in whatever words vaguely fit.

    Have you ever worn a wig? Pretty annoying if stuff gets on it.

    LOL - does my ****ing head in

    When people post the word LUAS in capitals, thinking it is an acronym. It's not, it's just a regular Irish word - Luas.

    probably the most ironic name they could have used for that slow piece of shít.

    Tell me again how 'Luas' means speed, as I'm hurtling down Westmoreland Street at 5km/h, passed out by toddler pedestrians and old ladies on zimmerframes.
